Longo has been contracted to install one of the first battery projects in the Northeast to support superior grid stability. This 16MW battery system will keep the lights on for tens of thousands of customers in times of high-power demand, eliminating the risk of brownouts, blackouts, or forced curtailment.

Late last year, the Longo family said goodbye to an amazing individual who played a unique and special role in our lives and the legacy of our company. Today, we pay tribute to John Hamann. We were privileged to know John and we’re proud to share his story with you.

Anax Power recognized at SGA's Innovative Tech Forum—a forum for technology, service, and product innovators, business pioneers, and influencers driving sustainable energy solutions—for generating clean power from natural gas.

Wastewater treatment plants typically require significant energy consumption to meet discharge permit requirements, which results in high energy costs. In an effort to reduce those costs, a large NJ-based treatment plant adopted a cogeneration process, whereby they used methane gas produced by the sewage, rather than fossil fuels, to produce energy.

Often times, the cost of repairing old technology is so high – both in terms of the parts and labor needed to complete the job – that starting over and updating the entire system is a more beneficial option in the long run. That was exactly the case at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft, N.J., where their old deep well pumps needed fixing and required a series of costly repairs.

Building a rapport of trust with a client is one of the most fulfilling aspects of being in business, and in our case, often opens up the door to new and exciting opportunities. A few years ago, we began working with BASF Corporation to update and maintain the treatment control system at their chemical plant in Toms River, and then earlier this year, they asked us to expand our role, ultimately contracting us to plan, design and construct 27 new monitoring well control panels throughout the site.

This year, on June 6, we marked the 75th anniversary of D-Day, when more than 160,000 Allied troops invaded the beaches of Normandy, France, and subsequently liberated Europe from Axis power. Over the years, many historical events have taken place to pay tribute to all of the men and women who served or lost their lives on D-Day and during World War II. This year, a large group of iconic aircrafts – each of which made a great contribution to the war effort – converged in the UK and embarked on the same route that was taken by the Allies from England to France in the opening hours of June 6, 1944. In total, nearly 40 restored C47 and DC3 aircraft carriers participated in the event.

Longo was the FIRST electric motor service center in North America to earn the ISO-9000 quality certification way back in 1994. Over the years, we have maintained this stringent quality system continual updating our procedures to the latest standards. Recently, Longo was re-certified to the latest revision of the standard, ISO 9001:2015 – issued to us by SGS North America, Inc., on behalf of the International Organization for Standardization. SGS verifies that we have implemented a quality management system that not only allows us to consistently meet the needs of our clients, but also reinforces our commitment to continually improving the quality of our work.

Governors Island is steadily becoming one of the most popular family outing destinations in New York City, thanks to all that it has to offer: walking and biking trails, art installations, music festivals, playgrounds, breathtaking views and so much more. But for us at Longo, the biggest thrill lies in the complex, yet utterly fascinating, inner workings of the island’s most infamous mode of transportation: the Lt. Samuel S. Coursen Ferry.

For many years, energy, in the form of heat, has been wasted as natural gas is transported from its source to the ultimate delivery point. Greater than ten thousand “Pressure Reduction Stations” operate in the U.S. natural gas pipeline system to reduce gas pressures to usable levels. In an effort to create a renewable energy source for public utilities, pipeline operators and major industrial users, U.S. investment group Anax Holdings joined forces with Star Refrigeration, a UK-based engineering company, to design and build the Anax Turbo Expander (ASTE250) – a 7’ x 7’ x 29’ skid-mounted 250kW system.

There are few things that will derail a business more quickly than attempting to operate old, unreliable and inefficient equipment. So when a client in the pharmaceutical industry found themselves in exactly that position with their cooling towers, they reached out to Longo to provide some major upgrades.

Longo is proud to announce that, as of July 2018, we have earned official authorization as a UL 508 Listed panel shop, allowing us to apply the widely recognized UL Mark on all industrial control panels we manufacture. Our hope is that this latest distinction will provide our customers with added confidence in their custom control panels, knowing that they are designed, constructed and underwritten according to the standards set forth by UL.

Instrumentation systems of all types – especially those that monitor and control specific operational processes – require at least some bit of maintenance over time. The work could be as simple as cleaning or lubricating parts, or for more sophisticated systems, applying a set of standards to an instrument to measure the accuracy of its outputs.
