e9 Treatments Solutions
Protect Your Equipment. Improve Your Measurement. Reduce Your Costs. Caron Measurement & Controls is proud to offer e9 Treatment Solutions —advanced, surface modification technology engineered to combat fouling, buildup, and corrosion on flow meters and other critical oil and gas equipment. Available as part of our comprehensive cleaning and proving services, e9 Treatment Solutions help operators maintain measurement accuracy, minimize downtime, and significantly lower long-term maintenance costs.
The Problem: Fouling and Buildup on Measurement Equipment
Flow meters, provers, sampling equipment, and other measurement devices operate in harsh environments where they are continuously exposed to oil, water, paraffin, and other contaminants. Over time, this exposure leads to:
- Degraded measurement accuracy and growing variances
- More frequent maintenance and cleaning cycles
- Costly unplanned downtime
- Premature equipment failure
These challenges are expensive, not only in direct maintenance and labor costs, but in lost production and unreliable data.
The Solution: e9 Treatment Solutions from Caron Measurement & Controls
e9 Treatment Solutions modify equipment surfaces, creating a durable barrier that repels contaminants and keeps internal surfaces cleaner longer. The treatment is very thin and therefore does not alter equipment tolerances, flow characteristics, or calibration — meaning your equipment performs exactly as designed, just with far less fouling.
Key Benefits
Slow or Eliminate Fouling & Buildup
When applied to equipment surfaces, our Treatment Solutions create oleophobic and hydrophobic surfaces that help prevent oil, water, paraffin, and other substances from adhering to treated surfaces. When deposits do occur, they are easily removed by wiping, keeping your equipment operational with minimal effort.
Improve Measurement Accuracy & Reliability
By keeping sensors, electrodes, and transducers free of buildup, e9 Treatment Solutions help stabilize measurement readings and reduce variances over time. Cleaner measurement surfaces mean more reliable data and greater confidence in your numbers.
Reduce Service & Maintenance
Treated equipment typically runs 3–8× longer between cleanings compared to untreated devices, depending on operating conditions. Fewer cleaning cycles translate directly into lower labor costs, reduced downtime, and improved operational efficiency.
Extend the Functional Life of Equipment
e9 Treatment Solutions protect against the buildup that can lead to premature equipment failure. Extending the lifespan of your meters and devices reduces the need for costly replacements and frequent capital expenditures.
Deter Corrosion & Maintain Asset Integrity
The hydrophobic surface created by e9’s Treatment Solutions acts as a protective shield, deterring moisture and corrosive agents from initiating reactions on treated metal surfaces. This helps extend the structural integrity and longevity of instrumentation even in harsh, corrosive environments.
How We Apply e9 Treatments
Caron Measurement & Controls applies e9 Treatment Solutions to both new and used equipment. All used equipment is thoroughly cleaned prior to treatment to ensure proper surface preparation, optimal bonding, and maximum long-term performance.
Treatment can be scheduled as part of routine maintenance, during turnarounds, or when equipment is first procured — treating new devices before they enter service is one of the most effective ways to maximize the benefits from day one.
Ideal Applications
e9 Treatment Solutions are effective across a wide range of measurement and process equipment, including:
- Turbine meters
- Coriolis meters
- Ultrasonic flow meters
- Magnetic flow meters
- Provers and prover components
- Sampling equipment
- Measurement skids
- And more!
Proven Results Across the Industry
Organizations across oil and gas, pipeline operations, midstream water production, and refining have reported substantial improvements after adopting e9 Treatment Solutions — from reduced measurement variances and extended functional life to dramatically fewer maintenance interventions. The investment in e9 Treatment Solutions more than pays for itself through increased accuracy, longer run times, and lower total cost of ownership.
