What OleumTech does

OleumTech Corporation is a privately held industrial wireless instrumentation and automation company headquartered in Foothill Ranch, California, founded in 2000. The company designs and manufactures in the USA to ISO 9001 standards, with a 25-year track record of serving the oil and gas, water/wastewater, refining and petrochemical, and broader IIoT industries. As of 2025, the company has deployed over 1,000,000 transmitters worldwide, including 400,000+ industrially-hardened units used in harsh environments.

The product portfolio is organized into four platforms: the OTC Wireless Sensor and I/O Network (the flagship, with DH-series gateways, WT/SM-series wireless transmitters, and WM-series I/O modules, certified for Class I Division 1/Zone 0 intrinsically safe operation and offering up to 40 miles gateway-to-gateway RF range and 10-year battery life), the H Series Hardwired Instrumentation (Smart Pressure, Differential Pressure, Multivariable Transmitters, Coriolis and Magnetic Flow Meters, RS485 Modbus/HART tank level sensors, and tuning fork level switches), the GP Sensor Network, and the WIO Point-to-Point Wireless I/O System. The proprietary technology is anchored by two US patents (#6,967,589 and #8,763,455 B1) covering wireless sensor network and resistive level sensor designs, and supported by an extensive portfolio of safety certifications (ATEX, IECEx, CSA, UL, FCC Part 15). Wireless devices are configured and managed through the BreeZ Software platform with over-the-air updates.

The business model is predominantly hardware sales through direct enterprise field sales, a channel partner/reseller program, and an e-commerce storefront (shop.oleumtech.com), supplemented by technical support, RMA, and warranty services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company maintains a regional office in Midland, Texas to serve the Permian Basin. Major customer categories include oil and gas producers, pipeline operators, water infrastructure operators, and petrochemical plants. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and ownership is privately held with no evidence of public listing, institutional investor, or parent company.
