Robert Wieser's background, experience, and services are available through PFT Tracer Instruments.
Below, Neil of EnvioTrace learns how to make cats tubes.
Technical Experience:
• 29 years working at Brookhaven National Lab (BNL) in Atmospheric Tracer Group developing PFT technology
- Independently built three capillary DTAs while
at Brookhaven.
- Successfully transferred the technology to
Robotech Inc., who then built the first DTAs
(Dual Trap Analyzers) for ConEdison
• Formed a company called Technical Specialist to help Con Ed understand and operate their DTA.
• Founding partner in PFTtech llc, a company that has found most of the underground cable leaks in England for National Grid. (See below link for paper presented at J’cable 2011.)
- while at PFTtech, I built and supervised the
building of seven DTAs and trained others in
building and maintaining the machines.
• EnviroTrace, a Canadian company that monitors leaks in underground commercial tanks.
- working with EnviroTrace, together we built a DTA
for them to use in monitoring underground tank
leaks as well as applying the technology to
underground oil transport lines.
• Other experience:
- experienced in cable oil leak hunting using
the continuous operating DTA.
- experienced in remote sampling where an
automobile mounted DTA is not practical.
