Otek Overview 2023

Otek Intelligent Instruments

An Advance Prospective on Metering Solutions

To our family of customers,

It is hard to believe that OTEK is celebrating its 51st year with over two million meters in the field. It has been my pleasure as the company’s CEO to lead a group of individuals dedicated to meeting your needs. We have several industry firsts along with more than 20 patents to our credit and we are excited to meet the continuing needs of the industries we serve.

Our goal is to invite you to explore the many activities that are underway at OTEK and to find a solution that best addresses your need. OTEK’s leadership through the years as an Original Equipment Manufacturer has enabled us to address your needs with solutions far more advance then warmed over, refurbished solutions.

We take great pride in our work and am confident that our American designed and made solutions will exceed your expectations in every way.

Enjoy,

Otto Otek Cororation

Saving money one meter at a time without worry.

Modernization Trends and Strategies

n The costs to build a Nuclear Power plant is estimated to grow to be between $5 to $10 billion.

n The life expectancy for an advance submarine built today is 30-years at a cost of $3 billion.

n The cost to modernize a control room in a nuclear power plant can exceed a $1 billion.

n A medium size reactor might produce 800 megawatts of power, generating nearly $2 million an hour.

n Increasing efficiencies by even a small percentage can contribute significantly.

n The annual cost for U.S. Nuclear Forces is $60 billion.

n Decommissioning a reactor generally costs between $300 to $400 million.

n To decommission a nuclear plant takes approximately 20 to 30 years.

n As of September 2022, the annual licensing fees for power reactors is $5.2 million annually.

Modernization Trends and Strategies (cont.)

n To build solutions that will retrofit to existing requirements with the industry’s largest number of direct replacement meters.

n Enhanced User Interface for ease of use and data represented in varied ways.

n To meet or exceed IEEE (Class 1E), MILSTD, and NRC guidelines.

n Eliminate Stuck Needles Syndrome along with the elimination of all Cybersecurity threats.

n To support proven platforms used worldwide

Legacy Solutions

In those situations where change can be an issue, OTEK can offer many legacy solutions that are direct replacement to failed, older meters. Our Plug-n-Play product line offers an extensive array of solutions for the most demanding applications.

Don’t skip a beat with our short lead time, direct replacement legacy meters.

n Knowledgeable Field Application Engineers available to assist.

n Industry leading warranty

n Volume discounts with core exchange

n Short lead times and reserve inventory

Direct replacement for industry standard metering.

As Recognized at NITSL-23

n Industry can only survive by adopting digital solutions.

n The magnitude of costs associated with modernization must be thoroughly considered.

n OTEK offers simple and elegant solutions, as referenced in EPRI and INL opinion at NITSL ‘23.

n The four pillars for building a strong future:

1. Cyber Security

2. Digital Controls

3. Software Quality Assurance and Acceptance

4. Digital Instrumentation and Control

“New, advanced digital meters from Otek have the intelligence to control a process discretely or as part of SCADA, APC, or other control networks.”

Case Studies

The Vogtle expansion and modernization plans in 2009 expected the two 1,117 Megawatt Westinghouse AP1000 rectors to costs $14 billion. It is estimated that the total costs have ballooned to more than $30 Billion. More than 5 years behind, Reactor 3 has just now come online.

The DOE and Excelon are spending nearly $100 million to enhance the Limerick Power Plants main control room with digital displays and annunciators. The upgrade is expected to further system reliability and optimize oversight. The refresh is cited by Limerick personnel as essential in reducing operational costs and increasing efficiencies.

Brown and Ferry through a modernization program increased plant efficiency by 14%.

Advance User Interface (UI)

Plant Systems

Centralized plant monitoring with advance User Interface (UI) for the operator.

Plant Processes

A single pain solution integrating information for an automation of otherwise manually performed tasks.

Plant Workers

Provides real-time plant information that allow for assistive devices that minimize radiation exposure.

OTEK Solutions with Reliability and Obsolesce Issues

n Critical Mission Time Between Failures (CMTBF) is >40 years.

n Replacement times are <10 minutes with a most meters.

n 2 wire digital solutions requiring no external power.

n Legacy Manufacturing, lifecycle planning and lifecycle assurance plans.
