CCI has acquired of California-based Fluid Kinetics. This acquisition aims to broaden CCI’s portfolio of products and services and its ability to provide severe service solutions to customers in the power and oil & gas industries. Fluid Kinetics’ expertise lies in the custom engineering of each silencer for its exact service application. From process conditions and performance requirements, Fluid Kinetics predicts the required noise reduction, then tests and optimises multiple silencer configurations to arrive at the most effective design. Fluid Kinetics maintains an expanding database of silencer applications so that silencer datasheets, outline drawings, fabrication drawings and dimensional materials lists can be generated rapidly to meet customer requirements. By combining CCI’s existing severe service know-how and experience with Fluid Kinetics’s silencer expertise, CCI believes it will be better positioned to provide effective noise solutions.
