Welcome to the technical consulting services of Lake Innovation.


Our mission is to provide our clients innovative solutions in the areas of spray technology, process mixing and inventive problem solving. The staff of versatilists has over 90 years of practical experience in solving complex problems. This provides a breadth of understanding of the practical considerations and the working knowledge of the science and technology coupled with awareness of the latest developments from University based research. We offer consulting services to many market segments including Petrochemical process industries.

Our experience can be valuable to you because we take a systems view beyond the spray nozzle and we have operational point of view.   Applications which use spray technology can require a number of critical decisions to optimally integrate the process requirements, fluid properties and technology selection.  The selection of the most appropriate and most effective spray producing device ( single fluid spray nozzle, two fluid spray nozzle, or other types of spray nozzle) and with sizing the specific nozzle chosen are critical.  Operational issues often separate a trouble free operation from a unit that requires constant operational attention and continual maintenance.

We provide fresh eyes to your issues.  Our laser-like focus enables a timely resolution. Economics is the thermodynamics of business. 

We know, after many years of experience with a major plastics and chemical manufacturer, that project economics are time sensitive.

Flat world consulting is a notion based on the book by Thomas Friedman The World is Flat, A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century.

  • Value creation depends on being excellent collaborators because no single firm can master all technologies.  Use your strengths and don't build walls.

  • Companies can flourish by being quick to take advantage of new tools for collaboration to reach further, faster, wider, and deeper. 

Out of clutter, find simplicity.

from discord, find harmony.

In the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity.

-Albert Einstein
