10/20/2009
The new company will service tank farms, refineries, and terminals in a wide region extending from Maine to Florida. FSI East will be operated as a separate entity. The company was formed to provide a cost-effective option for the reduction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) associated with storage tank operations. FSI East uses innovative and energy-efficient internal combustion engine (ICE) technology to quickly and safely draw and destroy high concentrations of VOCs from tanks. Related services include site permitting; logistical planning and scheduling; and compliance data management and reporting. All services are provided by a dedicated team adhering to the highest standards for the protection of health, safety, security and the environment.
“FSI East provides our clients with a new, safer, greener, and far more efficient option to maintain compliance during tank vapor degassing and cleaning activities,” said Edward Van Woudenberg, president of GES. “We are very happy to be working with the professionals at FSI, who have been manufacturing ICE units for the environmental industry for 20 years. This venture will expand our mobile ICE fleet, which has safely performed more than 4,200 remediation events over the last ten years.”
“The eastern region of our country is now under the umbrella of FSI technology,” said Steve Carlisle, president of FSI. “With GES’ professional technical support, we’ll provide a safe and cost-effective product and service that will help the communities of this region to move one step closer to a cleaner environment.”
