What is the difference between an analyzer and an integrated analyzer system?
The analyzer performs the measurement. An integrated system combines that instrument with the sample handling, utilities, controls, protection, and structural components required by the application. The package boundary determines what is included.
Can AES use our selected analyzers and components?
Yes. Customer-specified or supplied equipment can form the basis of a project. Provide the manufacturer requirements, approved drawings, component list, and any restrictions on configuration or startup service.
Can AES fabricate from our drawings?
Yes. Approved drawings, specifications, bills of materials, and acceptance criteria establish the build basis. Identify missing design information and responsibility for resolving it before fabrication begins.
What does turnkey mean in an AES proposal?
It should mean a defined scope, not an assumption that every activity is included. Procurement, design support, fabrication, testing, installation, commissioning, and documentation should each be identified along with exclusions and owner responsibilities.
