industry clients commented that the Sofame technology and experience offer
exactly what the industry needs.

recovery by Sofame engineers, and their thorough understanding of the clients'
boilers and plant operations, are what really impressed our customers."
John Gocek stated, "The Stoermer organization enjoys a solid reputation
