SMTAI 2026 - Rich Burke

If you are running an inline cleaner and measuring your chemical costs by how often you dump the tank, you are looking at the wrong number. Rich Burke from KYZEN joined The D-Code booth at SMTA International 2026 to lay down the real math: Dumping an 80-gallon tank monthly burns about 2.5 drums of chemistry a year. Stretching that bath dump saves you maybe one drum. Meanwhile, poor exhaust balance and fixture drag-out can quietly vent and spill 42 drums of chemistry a year right out of your building. Rich sat down with Elias Malfavon Jr., Sean Kincaid, and Daniel Stanphill to talk about bath life myths, enhanced pH buffering, defluxing under bottom-terminated components, and what real chemical process control looks like on an active production line.
