Zeeco's Advanced Research Complex (ARC) is the newest addition to its Global Technology Center (GTC) in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

The GTC is also home to the world's largest industrial-scale combustion research and test facility. Company leaders say the ARC concept was designed to provide heavy industries with multiple fully equipped pad sites ready for the design, development, and testing of new combustion and pollution control technologies.

"The ARC is a prime example of Zeeco's commitment to continuous innovation. We provide customers with a safe, secure, efficient, and cost-effective path to develop new technologies that can be deployed in the field. I am excited to be leading the ARC for Zeeco," Rayford Forest, Manager of the ARC, said. 

ARC clients work with Zeeco engineers and combustion experts and have access to Zeeco's existing utility infrastructure, project management, and manufacturing capabilities. The ARC is designed to accelerate innovation by combining necessary infrastructure with expertise and real-world testing capabilities.

Initial design, development, and testing can be done through Zeeco's world-class test facility. ARC partners have access to flaring platforms, multiple test furnaces, fuel blending tanks, and manufacturing facilities that are ISO-certified for making quick equipment modifications or supplying specialty materials for projects of all sizes.

"We know from our own experience and through many conversations with other organizations that assembling the critical components for innovating new technologies and services is a significant challenge. Over the years, Zeeco has positioned itself to be uniquely equipped to overcome those challenges, and the ARC is our solution to accelerate innovation for the industries we serve," Darton Zink, President and CEO of Zeeco, said.
