CCC - Continental Controls Corporation
John Helal Zahir has over 20 years of experience in engineering and design roles. John Helal worked at Continental Controls Corporation from 2000 to 2009, where they started as a Senior ElectroMechanical Design Engineer and was later promoted to VP of Engineering/Senior Principal Engineer. Their responsibilities included leading and managing a team of engineers and creating project plans to ensure project goals were met. John Helal designed and developed various products such as fuel control valves, fuel metering Venturi, air-to-fuel ratio controllers, and electronic voiced actuator gas carburetors. Prior to this, they had worked at San Diego State University as an FEA/FEM Analyst/Designer, where they analyzed and resolved structural analysis engineering challenges using Pro-Engineer.
John Helal Zahir attended San Diego State University from 1996 to 2001, earning a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering as well as an Associate of Science in Electrical Engineering. John Helal also obtained a Six Sigma Green Belt from Progressive Edge at an unknown time.

CCC - Continental Controls Corporation
Continental Controls Corporation (CCC) specializes in advanced technology products that modernize Engine Natural Gas Fuel Systems to meet the latest emissions compliance regulations. Founded in 1968 by Ross Fisher, CCC quickly established a prominent place in the gas turbine industry by developing speed and temperature monitors and fuel control modules used primarily with Solar Turbine engines, which became known as Solar "Black Boxes." CCC continues to offer the Black Boxes to customers around the world. CCC is an industry leader in developing innovative and effective Smart fuel metering valves for gas turbine and engine fuel control products. The internal microprocessor continuously computes the fuel flow and precisely adjusts the flow to match the demand from the engine. Our Smart valves can handle the most comprehensive range of fuel quality and are ideal for field retrofit/upgrades and original equipment installation. CCC Valves offer a fast response, a high turndown ratio, and extreme accuracy, especially at light off and acceleration fuel flows. CCC was the first to standardize wideband UEGO oxygen sensors for gas engine AFR controls, improving linear control technology allowing the same sensor to be used for rich or lean burn operation. Through the improved linear control, and enhanced air and natural gas mixing, we can meet the most stringent emissions requirements. The CCC system can also close loop on a post-catalyst NOx sensor to adjust the O2 sensor set point dynamically. This patented technology results in the most advanced emissions control in the world. Continental Controls Corporation's vertical integration for producing gas valves is a strategic move that sets us apart from our competitors. By controlling every aspect of the production process, from design to manufacturing, we can ensure the quality and consistency of our products. Vertical integration also allows us greater control over our supply chain by reducing lead times and efficiency.
