It has been a long while between posts. More than six years, actually. I started this blog with the intention of promoting the little-known technique of thermometric titrimetry. However, instead of just talking about it, I have been involved in getting it installed in process and quality control labs around the world. After my company sold our technology to Metrohm AG, I have been supporting their marketing and sales efforts to make it a part of that company's palette of titration techniques. It's been a struggle, but I think that Metrohm is eventually getting there. In itself, that's quite an achievement. A number of companies have tried, but until now, none have succeeded in making the technique a commercial reality.
Along the way, I've developed a range of applications for thermometric titrimetry across many industries, and even some which are novel to the industry. I've written nearly 130 application notes and countless customer reports; as well as replying to countless emails from customers, applications chemists and salespeople. I've installed instruments and trained customers and Metrohm applications and sales staff all around the world. Sometimes it's been frustrating, and often there's been a lot of hard work, but when a method comes together and you've solved a customer's problem, there's a lot of satisfaction. In most cases, it's also been fun.
Now it's time to kick back a little, and take it a little easier. I'm still working on new applications, but at the moment confining myself to helping local colleagues. I've also got a little time to think about other things, and perhaps post some of these ramblings here. Let's see what develops.
