The MeeFog Advantage:
Experience Based in Science and Innovation
For over 50 years Mee Industries Inc. has been the leader of innovative water fog technology. MeeFog Systems are used to humidify and cool industrial, commercial, and agricultural processes and to create dynamic special effects.
Thomas Mee Jr. who founded Mee Industries in 1969, started his career as a Cornell University research scientist. The company originally manufactured hightech, meteorological instruments. The first MeeFog Systems were used to study natural cloud phenomena. By the early 1980’s, high-pressure water fogging had become the company’s main focus. Active research & development effort ensures MeeFog’s continual technological improvement.
Today the company is owned and operated by Thomas Mee III and D’Arcy Mee Sloane, who continue their father’s tradition of running an innovative and ethical company for the benefit of customers and team members. The MeeFog team looks forward to discussing your project with you.
Gas Turbine Fogging Systems
Our gas turbine fogging system increases power output by improving air density, allowing more air to flow into the turbine. This boost in airflow helps generate more power, especially during hot weather.
Gas turbine inlet fogging lowers NOx emissions by optimizing the combustion process. This allows the turbine to burn fuel more efficiently, leading to cleaner operation and easier compliance with local environmental regulations.
By increasing air density, gas turbine fogging systems enhance fuel combustion, improving the efficiency of power generation. This results in better operational performance across various environmental conditions.
MeeFog’s systems maintain consistent power output, even when temperatures fluctuate. Precise control of air density helps maintain stable turbine performance regardless of external temperature changes.
By improving turbine efficiency, gas turbine fogging systems reduce fuel consumption. This leads to up to 20% energy savings, cutting down operational costs while maintaining turbine performance.
With gas turbine inlet fogging, you can expect a quicker return on investment due to improved turbine performance. As fuel consumption decreases and efficiency increases, the savings help you recover your initial investment faster.
