Control Solutions for Critical Equipment in a Decarbonized World

We support the Oil and Gas industry’s goals to reduce carbon emissions and transition to alternative fuels. Our latest technologies enable their critical power generation and compression assets to use zero carbon fuels. 

Our customers design and operate refineries, LNG terminals, pipelines and production fields, and they count on us to keep their rotating equipment operating reliably and safely in the harshest conditions.  

Our offering includes OEM-qualified, high availability/reliability control and protection systems, valves, actuators and power management solutions specifically designed for turbine, compressor and engine applications.

Oil and Gas Applications

Aeroderivative Gas Turbines

Aeroderivative gas turbines are used in the oil and gas industry for their high efficiency, low emissions, and flexibility to power, compress, cool and transport oil and gas resources.

These gas turbines respond to load changes very quickly, which makes them ideal for peaking service. However, they also can overspeed quickly, causing expensive turbine damage and unplanned downtime. OEMs select our control systems for speed of response to avoid turbine damage caused by a stall or surge condition.

  • OEM-qualified turbine control systems
  • Complete “plug and play” fuel skids for ease of installation
  • Total solution for all control requirements from fuel valves, air valves, guide vane actuators and turbine control systems.

Heavy-Duty Gas Turbines

Heavy-duty gas turbines provide reliable and efficient power for a wide range of oil and gas applications. They power compressors, pumps and generators to extract, transport, and refine oil and gas. Their robustness, high efficiency and low emissions help reduce operating costs and increase productivity.

  • Complete solution including fuel valves, air valves, guide vane actuators and turbine control systems
  • Low differential pressure fuel valve design enables reduced natural gas compression costs
  • All electric-powered actuation systems for improved safety and reliability
  • Solutions to support alternative fuels such as hydrogen 

Steam Turbines

The oil and gas industry relies heavily on steam turbines to drive processes within refineries and petrochemical production. These turbines use steam generated from the burning of natural gas, low carbon fuels to drive generators, compressors, pumps and other equipment. Steam turbines are also used to regulate steam header pressure for downstream processes.

  • Rugged actuators designed to withstand varnishing and contamination in hydraulic systems
  • Direct, steam valve actuators that eliminated complex linkages with pilot valve schemes
  • Triple-modular Redundant overspeed protection systems that are online testable
  • Easy-to-configure control systems that don’t require programming

Compressors

Compressors play a critical role in the extraction, transportation and processing of oil and gas resources, including LNG liquefaction and CO2 capture and storage. We provide OEM-qualified control solutions that optimize compressor performance, reduce energy consumption, maximize production and ensure equipment safety. 

  • Compressor control systems for gas turbines, steam turbines and electric motors prime movers
  • Integrated control solution for turbine-driven compressors, which improves responsiveness, accuracy and maintenance 
  • Proven in use control performance, anti-surge protection, quench control and load sharing

Reciprocating Engines

Reciprocating engines are used for power generation in remote locations, emergency backup power, gas pipeline compression and artificial lift applications.

  • Rugged controls, actuators and valves designed to withstand high vibration and high temperature environment of reciprocation engines.
  • Complete solutions for engine control that work together to deliver the maximum fuel efficiency and minimum emissions.
  • Wide range of injectors, fuel pumps, fuel valves that are applicable to a variety of fuel types such as diesel, natural gas, hydrogen, ammonia and methanol.
  • Power Management products to enable genset synchronization, load sharing and island/grid mode operation.
