Kirk Cell Applications

The Kirk Cells have a successful operating history extending over more than 38 years, beginning in the southern United states.  Today, Kirk Cells are successfully operating worldwide on every continent except Antarctica.   There ain't no pipelines in Antarctica.

Some of the projects where the Kirk Cell has been successfully used over the years include:
