Mike Keller -
President and Cofounder

“A total solution covers a lot of different products, so we offer the added capabilities needed to design and build entire systems.”

Mike Keller can be aptly described as part engineer, part communicator, part visionary. As president and cofounder of Tulsa Combustion, Mike has helped create “the anti-widget” organization—a company that doesn’t define itself by products alone—and his customers couldn’t be happier.  Mike understands that clear, ongoing communication with employees and customers is key to building long-term relationships.  It’s one reason, he believes, Tulsa Combustion has earned a reputation for completing even the most complicated jobs on time and on budget.

With more than 30 years of engineering experience, Mike served in executive capacities for two of the largest combustion-engineering firms in the world.  While he was content to leave the bureaucracy of mega-companies behind, he gained invaluable knowledge and field experience in terminal design, applications and technologies; flare systems, incinerator systems; manufacturing; and technology evaluation.  Mike is a published author and an instructor of design application, operation and troubleshooting of process equipment.  He also is a member and participant of the API and has served in peer review status on several USA EPA combustion/emissions related studies.

Under the combined leadership of Mike and cofounder Roger Noble, Tulsa Combustion sets a new direction for the combustion industry.  Here, personal attention and practical, creative solutions are the engine that drives the company’s growth and success.
