TAS ME LLC

TAS Energy had its beginnings in the early 1980s. The future founder of TAS, Tom Pierson, managed the Industrial Division for Trane in Houston. During that time, Tom specialized in providing industrial chillers and controls for process and petrochemical applications. It was Pierson who lead the team that developed the first gas turbine inlet air-cooling systems in the mid to late 1980s. These early systems were composed of modified chillers for use in outdoor power plant environments - but the power plant contractors were still constructing the entire system in the field in a traditional HVAC configuration.

By combining his experience in the industrial HVAC industry with that of the power generation industry, Tom realized there was a better way to deliver these systems than the traditional “stick-built” field erected method. That way was to provide and ship the entire plant as a “plug & play” modular plant so that field engineering, construction and risk were minimized. This construct allowed for repeatable, high-quality installations that guaranteed performance, price and scheduling to plant operators around the world. This new “packaging” concept caught on rapidly in the power industry due to its inherently better financial performance - particularly with deregulated Independent Power Producers (IPPs) who had to be innovative and highly efficient to thrive in the competitive merchant power market. Within two years, this new modular approach for accomplishing Turbine Inlet Cooling (TIC) completely dominated the world market. Field erected TIC systems rarely occurred after that time.



Today, TAS Energy remains committed to becoming the world’s leading provider of modular, economic, clean energy solutions. The company continues to focus on combining skills from different industries to develop innovative systems that dramatically change the owner’s value proposition for renewable power generation, data, and heating & cooling utilities. TAS Energy continues to do this by focusing on industries that have traditionally relied on bid & spec, field-erected processes. TAS changes the paradigm toward a new factory design/build modular approach with guaranteed cost, efficiency, performance & schedule that allows owners to accurately measure the enhanced value of this new delivery process. Our objective is to partner with both our customers and our suppliers to provide an integrated value chain with reduced cost and risk to all participants that result in repeatable business based on measured performance.
