Coming Soon: MurCal Emission Compliance Seminars

2011-04-20T11:55:00.000-07:00

This summer, MurCal will be hosting two free informational seminars. The first seminar will be held on Wednesday, June 8th in Irvine. The second seminar takes place the following day, Thursday, June 9th in Bakersfield.

The seminars will focus on how related emission compliance products work together to meet emission standards on stationary rich-burn natural gas engines, and feature industry experts from Step2Compliance, EmeraChem, Testo, Compliance Controls and Murphy Power Ignition.

We are inviting customers, prospects and industry professionals who are interested in how various technologies work together, in the face of increasing regulations, to keep engine operators in compliance with their local air quality district. Click on the links above for additional details.

Visit Our New Web Site

2011-03-31T15:31:00.000-07:00

The MurCal web site has just undergone a massive facelift. Over 150 new, unique web pages offering tons of valuable information about our products and services. Click here to take a look!

Coming Soon: Catalyst Element Washing

2011-03-31T15:28:00.000-07:00

EmeraChem has teamed up with MurCal to bring a catalyst element washing facility to Southern California. Currently most elements in this region are boxed up and shipped half way across the country to other established facilities.

That's all about to end. Early this summer MurCal will have the necessary equipment installed in our Palmdale plant, and we'll be ready to service your elements.

Having a local cleaning facility will save our customers on both shipping expense and turn-around time. We'll let you know when we are fully operational.

EmeraChem and TDI Join The MurCal Family

2011-03-31T15:26:00.000-07:00

A lot has happened over the last several months regarding additions to our family of engine and emission control solutions. We've recently added two highly respected product lines, both of which add value to our portfolio.

EmeraChem, a leader in nanophase chemistry and catalysis, specializes in the manufacture and sale of proprietary catalytic products for the control of air emissions from diesel-burning engines and fossil fuel electric-generating facilities. Their innovative solutions include catalyst housings, silencers and elements.

TDI is recognized worldwide by every OEM and significant system packager as the leader for highly reliable and efficient air starters. The reliability of the TurboTwin™ design quickly carved a niche for itself on critical starting applications, especially applications in harsh environments where traditional vane-type starters are prone to frequent failure. In oil & gas, mining, and marine markets, the TurboTwin™ line has earned a reputation as the starter of choice when reliability was critical.

For more detailed information, simply browse the MurCal web site and click on the EmeraChem and TDI links.

Join Us at the Pacific Marine Expo

2010-09-02T10:45:00.000-07:00

If you happen to be in the Seattle area on November 18-20, we'd like to invite you to the Pacific Marine Expo as our guest.

The Pacific Marine Expo is the largest commercial marine tradeshow on the West Coast. Serving all aspects of the market, including commercial vessels owners, commercial fishermen, boat builders and seafood processors, this annual event covers it all. If you make your living on the water, or provide services to those who do, this is your show. The Expo Hall is attached to the south end of Qwest Field and just north of Safeco Field near downtown Seattle.

If you'd like to attend, click here to self-register for the event. This link will allow you to register for a FREE admission credential to the exhibit hall. You must register prior to November 17th, otherwise the cost is $30 per ticket. Feel free to forward this link to any of your friends or business associates that may have an interest in visiting this informative trade show. If you choose to attend, please stop by the MurCal booth (#702) and say "hello"!

The MurCal Web Store

2010-06-16T12:27:00.000-07:00

We've received some recent inquiries with a common theme: "How can I buy your products online using my credit card?"

To start with, you simply click on this MurCal Web Store link.

You'll be transported to the Web Store in mere nanoseconds. The Catalog landing page displays a list of product manufacturers that you may choose from. For instance, by simply clicking on "Murphy" you'll drill down to view all the product categories offered by FW Murphy. Do you need a pressure gage? Just click on "Pressure and Vacuum" and you're on the way.

To make your online purchase experience easy, we've spent millions of hours developing the web store (OK, maybe not a million hours, but sometimes it feels that way). There are pictures of nearly every product offered and wherever possible we've added informational pdf files that can be downloaded directly to your computer.

So, the next time you're hangin' out with your buddies and someone says "Hey, let's grab a quick portable engine emission analyzer kit", you'll know exactly where you can go to find one!

Wiring Diagrams

2010-06-04T16:05:00.000-07:00

There is a new page on our web site that has the potential to benefit not only the humans that inhabit our Earth, but also to enlighten many forms of intelligent life in the far reaches of the Galaxy. We've learned that, like our archaic agricultural engines, most alien-designed spacecraft actually use W-Series engine control panels from FW Murphy in their quest to reach warp speed. It's our aim to help all life-forms run their engines smoothly without the fear of frying a mag switch because of a faulty wiring improvisation.

That's why we've taken the time to offer a vast array of wiring diagrams for all your favorite W-Series engine panels all in one place. The best part is that the information is available right here on Earth. So earthlings, just point and click right here to travel through cyberspace toward the web page that features the diagrams. Aliens may telepathically upload without the use of a browser.

Live long and prosper!

We've finally done it!

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the MurCal Blog. We decided that it was about time to "go social" in a lot of ways. Those of you familiar with our web site may have noticed a bunch of new links recently. Just what are these links, you might ask?

They are links dedicated to increasing our social networking presence: Facebook, Twitter and Blogger. All three of these networking sites make it easy for you, our customers, to interact with us informally. Since we've just started down this path our learning curve is steep and our comments are few (so far). But we can't wait to see what happens!

Another big addition to our web site is a landing page that allows anyone to join our new email marketing list. We plan to send an occasional newsletter and product pricing specials to those lucky people brave enough to see what pops up in their in-box. We hate spam as much as you do, so we won't be sending emails very often . . . and it certainly won't be spam. Only when we have something real important to say or when we have a great discount on one or more of our products. So please, click on this link and join our email list.

So far cyberspace ain't that bad. I believe that I could get used to this.
