CEO Greg Reid said, “Our trademarks are the cornerstone of our identity, reflecting our strong focus on innovation, reliability and sustainability. In the fast-moving realm of industrial processing, what sets Icon Process Controls apart is our deep engineering roots, the talent within our team and our ability to collaborate with our customers and stakeholders.”
Innovation and Reliability
Icon Process Controls leads the way in innovation, delivering corrosion-free industrial equipment that out-performs global standards. The company’s products are known for high accuracy and reliability, such as their flow meters and level sensors built for precise measurements across different technical specifications. Accurate temperature readings, for example, help ensure everything stays within safe and efficient operating conditions—something that’s critical in a wide range of industries.
Another example comes from industries that handle potable water, chemicals and industrial process liquids. Safe and reliable fluid measurement is of utmost importance. To guarantee public health and safety, the materials in contact with water must be rigorously tested for leaching of harmful contaminants. Icon’s TK and TI Series Paddle Wheel Flow Meters have received NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 approval, certifying them as safe for use in drinking water systems and related chemical treatment applications.
“Compliance with standards like NSF 61 is not just a box to check; it is a crucial aspect of product validation and credibility,” added Reid. “Our customers can be confident that Icon equipment meets the highest safety standards for water contact applications.”
Sustainability
Sustainability is a core value at Icon Process Controls that extends to every aspect of operations, from eco-friendly packaging to optimized shipping routes.
Reid said, “Our planet is facing big challenges, and we’re committed to challenging conventions and pioneering new solutions. We integrate decades of engineering know-how into thermoplastic equipment that is highly sustainable. Our goal is to help make the world a better place.”
The Icon team believes strongly that the industrial sector must lead the charge in reducing carbon footprints. Because of this, they go the extra mile to align businesses with environmentally conscious practices and empower them to operate responsibly by optimizing resource usage.
Nowhere is this more evident than in Icon’s wireless tank monitoring systems, which bring efficiency to the forefront. Remote monitoring streamlines operations and significantly cuts down the need for on-site visits. In turn, this reduction in travel contributes directly to lower carbon emissions. Customers can manage tank levels with unparalleled precision and say goodbye to overfilling and unnecessary resource waste.
Additional examples of Icon’s sustainability efforts include:
· incorporating solar panels to ensure sustainable power consumption
· prioritizing low environmental impact in all endeavors
· harnessing the power of clean and renewable energy sources
