JORD’S BUSINESS

Since 1972, Jord has been making ideas a reality around the globe.

Jord designs, manufactures, commissions and services custom-engineered process equipment, modular skids and turnkey plant. We service a broad range of process industry, including alumina, coal, minerals, nickel, oil and gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, power, steel and sugar.

IDEAS ENGINEERED

Our point of difference is our ability to add value. Our most satisfying projects are those where we work with a customer to produce an outcome that exceeds expectations. This may involve achieving a higher grade product, increasing plant capacity, improving the environmental impact of a process, or developing a demonstration pilot plant to prove new industrial processes.

A strong emphasis is placed on working with customers to develop innovative and cost effective process solutions. Our engineers are encouraged to use their technical skills and practical experience to think laterally and explore all options.

“An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.”

JORD’S PEOPLE

Stable private ownership over the decades has provided an opportunity to create a unique workplace for our employees. A strong emphasis is placed on creating a flexible work environment that allows people to balance and satisfy long term business, academic and personal needs.

Jord distributes a significant proportion of annual profit to all staff members. This has been done each and every year since 1972. Sharing the success of the business is an important part of Jord’s culture.

Our aim is to ensure our engineers have the right balance of technical qualification and practical experience, and that our project management systems remain updated and robust. This allows us to consistently and competitively produce high quality results across a broad range of technology.

JORD’S ETHOS

There are several foundation stones of our business.

We respect all people and all cultures, and recognise that all parties must succeed to sustain long term business partnerships. In this, we strive to be scrupulously fair.

We foster long term alliances with international technology leaders, fabricators and customers. The ability to sustain these partnerships through the decades emphasises our commitment to these relationships. We strive to constantly improve all aspects of our company.This extends from the way in which we perform our tasks through to our social and environmental responsibilities.

JORD FOUNDATION

The Jord Environment Trust (“JET”) has a charter to support international causes that help foster a biologically diverse and sustainable planet. Jord contributes a percentage of group profit each year to the JET Fund. The fund is managed on a voluntary basis by Jord staff. The brief is to grow the fund’s capital over time, and to periodically distribute income generated from this capital to environmentally related causes that fall within set guidelines.

An environmental trust is somewhat apropos, since “jord” means “earth” in Scandinavian languages. Jord cares about the health of our planet, and as a technology driven company, we actively pursue new technology that helps to clean up our environment.

"I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones."

TECHNOLOGY

1. Dry Cooling

Jord has supplied many thousands of air coolers and steam condensers throughout the world. Many of Jord’s earliest units are into a third decade of continuous service. This longevity is testament to the robust nature of our designs. References are available for extreme conditions such as pressures over 4,000 psi, temperatures up to 600 deg C, sour service, hydrogen service, and high pour point service.

2. Heat Transfer

Jord has partnered with customers to develop, design and fabricate heat transfer solutions for complex process requirements. Examples include slurry heater-flash vessels for nickel processing, barometric condensers for alumina refining, rotary dryers for carbon black production, furnaces for metal calcining, fired heaters, hair pin exchangers and catalyst coolers for petroleum refining. Process conditions often involve one or more of high temperature, high pressure, corrosive fluid and erosive slurry, where close attention to design is critical.

3. Process Plant

Jord’s turnkey plant capability has evolved over many years. The foundation was in a series of evaporation, crystallisation and carbon plants delivered in the 80’s and 90’s. The skills gained here have since been applied across multiple process plant applications. Many involve “clean air” and “clean water” solutions, aimed at ensuring the Process Industry conducts its business in a sustainable manner. Jord’s clean air technologies span particulate, acid gas, NOx and organic vapour removal. For clean water, we offer falling film and forced circulation evaporative systems as an energy efficient and cost effective means of effluent disposal.

4. Filtration Jord offers a comprehensive range of vacuum, pressure and media filtration process plant. Equipment includes vacuum belt, drum and disc filters, membrane chamber and tower filter presses. This broad technology base allows us to keep an open mind when weighing up the merits of different filtration options for any given application. Our goal is to ensure we are in a position to provide impartial, objective advice in equipment selection recommendations.

5. Separation

Jord has licensed separator, filter and coalescer technology for two and three phase separation of liquids and solids from gas streams. Methods of separation include vane packs, plate packs, cyclones, multi-cyclones, filter cartridges and coalescer cartridges.

In many instances, Jord has been able to retrofit existing equipment with an alternative separation concept. Increased plant throughput and/or efficiency has resulted with minimal plant disruption and at low capital cost. In addition, Jord offers it’s own in-house strainer technology, for particulates removal from liquid streams.

"Fundamental progress has to do with the reinterpretation of basic ideas."

MANUAFACTURING

Jord maintains exclusive, stable fabrication partnerships across multiple countries and continents. Many of these partnerships have spanned decades. Our preference is to work closely with a single fabrication partner in each region.We look to align our interests with our partners and embrace the transfer of know-how and ideas. We avoid arm’s length subcontract arrangements.

QUALITY

Jord has maintained ISO 9001 accreditation since 1994. Systems adherence and consistency across the group is regularly put to the test via internal and external audits. Non conformances are monitored at Director level to ensure meaningful close out results. We invest time and energy to fully train and equip our people to perform their tasks. Staff are inducted into new positions, and are properly equipped with the latest technology tools.

SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT

Jord is committed to maintaining safe working practices for our staff, our fabrication partners, and visitors to our offices and work sites. Regular audits are undertaken, minuted and autioned, to ensure our work practices are continually critiqued and improved upon.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

In 1996, Jord invested in Lotus Notes software, allowing us to develop “Jord Horizons”, a series of interlinked datebases that provides a comprehensive project execution system. It provides real-time information to all staff in our various Business and Group Service Divisions, wherever in the world they may be located.
