Do better what we’ve been<br />

doing <strong>for</strong> the last 100 <strong>years</strong>:<br />

help our clients produce more<br />

cleanly and produce more<br />

Jean Gilbert,<br />

Corporate Vice President, <strong>Hamon</strong> & Co<br />

“We are continuing to invest in applied<br />

research, and this in partnership with<br />

both our clients as well as with American<br />

and European universities. With our<br />

clients, the questions are more related<br />

to cooling systems and heat exchangers,<br />

while with the universities, we are<br />

concentrating more on problems related<br />

to air pollution control.”<br />

Aart Nobel,<br />

CEO, <strong>Hamon</strong> Corporation USA<br />

“We’ve also made a technological partnership<br />

with industrial partners like Exxon, in this way<br />

we’re able to ally their specialist knowledge with<br />

the know-how of our civil engineers. Moreover,<br />

we have concentrated on the standardization of<br />

our designs, <strong>engineering</strong> and purchasing,<br />

all of which has helped us deliver more quickly<br />

to market and with the lowest error rate in<br />

the whole industry.”<br />

2007...<br />

Ollie Acheson,<br />

CFO, <strong>Hamon</strong> Corporation USA<br />

“Belgians, Americans, French, Germans and<br />

all the other members of the Group, now enjoy<br />

a position that we’ve not known <strong>for</strong> 30 <strong>years</strong>.<br />

For me, it is clear that this healthy position is<br />

the natural outcome of the pertinence of our<br />

products, of the good strategic decisions taken<br />

in the past, and the ef<strong>for</strong>ts made by each and<br />

every member of our teams today.”<br />

Michel Monjoie<br />

Head, Research & Development<br />

“For me, wet cooling has a great future ahead<br />

of it, because it allows us to directly reduce the<br />

CO 2<br />

emissions from the power plant, much<br />

more so that with dry cooling. On top of that<br />

we’re able to make it happen with recycled<br />

water or even water from the sea.”<br />

Aart Nobel,<br />

CEO, <strong>Hamon</strong> Corporation USA<br />

“In short we have attained a level of stability,<br />

maturity and growing confidence that could not<br />

have been anticipated only a few <strong>years</strong> ago.”<br />

Francis Lambilliotte,<br />

CEO, <strong>Hamon</strong> & Cie<br />

“Our clients are investing more and more to<br />

counteract pollution and we’re helping them produce<br />

more, and produce more cleanly. For example, by<br />

improving the productivity of 10 power plants by<br />

10%, we’re able to close one down. Or in other words<br />

we can produce 10% more power without building<br />

a new one. That’s less greenhouse gases <strong>for</strong> everyone.<br />

I think that <strong>Hamon</strong> will become the partner of an<br />

increasing number of industrial companies who take<br />

the environmental imperative seriously.”<br />

Philippe Delvaux,<br />

Managing Director, <strong>Hamon</strong> Research-Cottrell<br />

“As our activity is completely in phase with ecology,<br />

we have an enormous market in perspective. And<br />

as our products are good and we have a boss who is<br />

prepared to take risks…”<br />
