Assentech was incorporated by Ewart Cox (pictured) in 2008, who had 25 years industry experience, with the main aim of supplying quality equipment as well as providing technical advice and maintenance support for tank storage, fluid transfer and process safety applications. As the current Managing Director and a leading advocate for breather valve management and emission control, Ewart has recently been recognised in the Storage Terminals Magazine Top 100 Tank Storage Influencers Guide 2023. This recognition comes highly respected in the industry and serves as a testament to his relentless pursuit of excellence, his commitment to innovation, and his significant contributions to the tank storage sector.
Ewart shared, “We have left the path most trodden and forged a new direction that benefits both customer and the environment. My 25 years of experience to help customers, standards organisations, non-profit safety organisations and the regulators to reduce odours, improve safety at the same time as customer profitability is great for the image of our industry and helps to stimulate discussion on aspects, we feel are important.”
Currently, Assentech supplies products from prestigious manufacturers located across the Globe. Always focused on delivering quality solutions with focus on the environment, site safety, operating efficiency to protect assets, improve profitability, safeguard stakeholder confidence and evidence compliance.
’Buying once, buying well’ is a familiar phrase with Assentech customers who are encouraged to evaluate their product selection by understanding the technical specifications of premium products and not base their purchase decisions solely on price. Assentech firmly believes that quality products have lower cost of ownership and protect the environment better than the false economy of buying cheap equipment.
Assentech’s core strength is its comprehensive understanding of breather valve functionality, compliance and comparative knowledge of the breather valve marketplace providing its customers with a unique and supportive overview to help guide decision makers.
Certified by a UKAS accredited company to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, its enviable reputation is the outcome of its core strengths which is to provide specialist engineering services, environmental solutions and safety equipment for process industries dealing with flammable, hazardous or corrosive substances. “Our main objective is to help clients achieve regulatory compliance, reduce emissions and optimise their production processes,” stated Debbie Pearce, Director.
Assentech Management is also represented on two International Standards Committees with Ewart Cox currently writing an environmental annexe for API2000.
In recent news, Assentech has just launched its new innovation: Vent-Less. A ground-breaking technology that is automated with AI and algorithms which enables breather valves to be tested according to API2000 testing protocol.
A huge risk to any tank storage facility is through the breather valves that are installed on a tank. A breather valve or also known as a PVRV (Pressure and Vacuum Relief Valve) is a valve that protects tanks and vessels from overpressure and vacuum conditions. It opens when the internal pressure exceeds a set point, allowing excess pressure to escape, and opens again when the internal pressure drops below atmospheric pressure to prevent collapse. It’s widely used in various industries to maintain safety and prevent equipment damage or product loss.
With the focus on the environment, Assentech has spent eight years of R&D to develop Vent-Less, which is designed to check functionality, sealing and performance of individual breather valves on both vacuum and pressure ports.
“Vent-Less will provide a full leak and functionality test in less than two minutes as well as irrefutable results. The technology is revolutionising tank storage facilities and is unique to the world providing a best available technique to quantify, monitor and reduce emissions for environmental reporting, ESG metrics and providing valuable data for net zero analytics. We have seen heightened interest on our unique Vent-Less technology which is the only equipment globally that will enable emission quantification,” said Debbie.
