Bio
Richard Clark
I have worked with Lester for many years globally providing engineering support for pressure relief applications. Lester has always worked diligently with an eye for detail in the important safety field of rupture disks. Working very closely with each of his customers he treats each one as though they were his only one, such is his level of commitment to his clients. ZOOK will continue to provide unwavering support for our important distributor Ingimex in South America.

Lester is a talented and driven leader who acheives results. Lester has tremendous integrity, values, methods and principles that exceed expectations. Lester is very personable and a pleasure to work with to improve, grow and expand our global business. As the leader of HITMA Process, Lester has developed deep and excellent market knowledge and strong relationships with key customers, engineering firms and distribution channels around the world. Lester and his team focus on adding value for customers by understanding their business processes and the application of the technology offered by products and services HITMA Process represents. Lester opened up opportunities for our business by providing access to the key decision makers at all levels of customers in the industrial markets. Lester also identified new niche markets for our products by "outside the box" analysis of applying our technology. I highly recommend Lester Millard.

Safety or spray shields offer the last line of defence. They are not designed to contain the leak indefinitely, but to prevent the harmful spray outs resulting in fire or explosions causing considerable plant down time, capital expenditure and even loss of life.

Managing Director (Rupturedisc specialist)
-
Oct 1986 - Jan 2018
I created this company/Division within the group to be at that time a unique independent provider of rupture discs technology specialists already having represented for many years B&SB, CDC. It has proven to be a very successful venture. A rupture disc, also known as a pressure safety disc, burst disc, bursting disc, or burst diaphragm, is a non-reclosing pressure relief device that, in most uses, protects a pressure vessel, equipment or system from over pressurization or potentially damaging vacuum conditions. A rupture disc is a type of sacrificial part because it has a one-time-use membrane that fails at a predetermined differential pressure, either positive or vacuum. The membrane is usually made out of metal,[1] but nearly any material (or different materials in layers) can be used to suit a particular application. Rupture discs provide instant response (within milliseconds) to an increase or decrease in system pressure, but once the disc has ruptured it will not reseal. Major advantages of the application of rupture discs compared to using pressure relief valves include leak-tightness and cost.Rupture discs are commonly used in petrochemical, aerospace, aviation, defense, medical, railroad, nuclear, chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing and oil field applications. They can be used as single protection devices or as a backup device for a conventional safety valve; if the pressure increases and the safety valve fails to operate (or can't relieve enough pressure fast enough), the rupture disc will burst. Rupture discs are very often used in combination with safety relief valves, isolating the valves from the process, thereby saving on valve maintenance and creating a leak-tight pressure relief solution.

Alcatraz Interlocks, safety by design! Preventing Potentially Hazardous Situations Even knowledge, skill, caution and written procedures can not permanently guarantee safe operation during production or maintenance. At times, human failure even defeats the most advanced electronic safety measures. Alcatraz Interlocks designs, manufactures and installs interlocking systems to prevent potentially hazardous situations caused by errors in the operating sequence of industrial processes. With Alcatraz interlock systems the operator is simply forced to follow a predetermined sequence by means of a mechanical coded key transfer. Show less
