Welcome To R. A. Nichols Engineering

R. A. Nichols Engineering has been designing and troubleshooting vapor collection systems across many different industries for over 40 years.  We have experience in selecting and sizing the correct type of abatement technology that works best for the facility.  We take into affect the entire life cycle of the equipment, including not only the upfront capital costs but also the operating and maintenance costs as well.

We specialize in designing vapor collection systems utilizing variable volume vapor space capacity to increase the capacity and efficiency of the vapor collection system. There are numerous benefits to adding such capacity including increasing instantaneous operational capacity, reducing operational and maintenance costs, simplifying operations and eliminating high back pressure spikes to name a few."

If you are suffering from any of those issues or are designing a new terminal from scratch, give us a quick call to see what approach we might take and how it might benefit your system now and in the future.
