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 />
