AIR SAFETY ENGINEERING
Air Safety Engineering is a service and sales company utilizing, by exclusive agreement,
the equipment of Cold Jet, Inc., of Loveland OH. The Cold Jet process utilizes pellets of
solid carbon dioxide as a blast media to perform various cleaning and removal operations
for commercial and industrial customers. The thermal properties of the solid carbon
dioxide pellets, along with their kinetic energy when propelled by a large volume high
pressure stream of compressed air, provides the force to dislodge and remove
contamination, residue, debris, product build up and even paint from plant areas and
equipment. The process is non-abrasive and leaves only the removed materials to be
disposed of. Air Safety Engineering provides a contract cleaning service, equipment sales
for those who have enough use to warrant owning of the equipment and the sale of solid
carbon dioxide pellets to those who purchase or lease the equipment. Contact David L.

Universities Research Association, Inc. (URA), a consortium of major universities in the
United States and Canada, for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). DOE is the primary
source of support for Fermilab's high energy physics research program. Research at
Fermilab, driven by sheer curiosity about what we and the universe are made of,
concentrates on finding the ultimate building blocks of nature and on understanding the
forces acting between them. The principal scientific instrument at Fermilab is the
Tevatron: the final of five separate particle accelerators working in series to accelerate
protons to nearly the speed of light, after which they are annihilated either by a fixed
target or by a counter-rotating beam of anti-protons. The collision debris is analyzed at
the large experiments located at the collision points. The Tevatron, highest in energy of
the Fermilab accelerator complex, is made up of 1000 superconducting magnets used to steer
the particle beam. These magnets operate at liquid helium temperatures (-450 degrees F)
and are cooled by the Tevatron cryogenic cooling system (CSS), which was recently
dedicated an ASME International Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark. Contact Jay
