LUMEC is an engineering company in Peoria, Illinois that is redefining flow control.

Flow control is everywhere in our lives: fuel injection in our cars, gas flow to our houses, water flow control; it's everywhere. The most common flow control device in use today is the butterfly valve—technology that is hundreds of years old. Unfortunately, a butterfly valve creates turbulence in flow, which robs the overall system of energy, increases the system size, and increases the number of components in the system (more components mean higher cost).

The demand for high-performing flow control valves is increasing exponentially to meet the ever stricter efficiency and emissions requirements of the global marketplace, investors, and governments.

Other manufacturers of intelligent valves still rely on the butterfly valve – an outdated idea.

LUMEC is redefining flow control with L3Flow technology, which eliminates turbulence, provides precise linear control response (ask any control engineer how important this is), and integrates a suite of high-powered sensors and electronics for superior flow control in a single device.

Lumec's first released product – the dynamic orifice valve (DOV) has been installed and is exceeding operational expectations in several industrial plants. To expand the product line and build on our initial success, additional funding is needed.
