Valve Automation
Our valve automation solutions combine Flowserve Automax, Rotork, and Triac Controls technologies to enhance process control precision and operational safety. We offer pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric actuation systems with positioners for critical industrial applications across refining, chemical processing, and energy sectors. These systems reduce manual intervention while improving process efficiency and regulatory compliance.
Pressure Relief
We provide comprehensive pressure relief solutions featuring LESER safety valves and Buckling Pin Relief Valves that meet ASME and PED standards. Our systems protect industrial equipment in chemical, oil and gas, and pharmaceutical applications through rupture disks, flame arresters, and pilot-operated relief valves engineered for extreme operating conditions.
Combustion Engineering
Our combustion engineering services include burner air-fuel calibration, ultra-low NOx retrofits, and custom SCR systems for emissions reduction. We design complete combustion management systems that improve boiler efficiency while meeting environmental regulations through advanced monitoring and control technologies.
Instrumentation
We supply precision instrumentation solutions including thermal flow meters, pressure transmitters, and temperature sensors from Reotemp and Jerguson. These systems enable accurate measurement and control in demanding applications like refinery processes and semiconductor manufacturing, with integration capabilities for predictive emission monitoring systems.
Field Services
Our field services include valve and actuator calibration, instrument startup, and boiler tune-ups performed by factory-trained technicians. We offer commissioning support and compliance testing with specialized equipment for fugitive emissions monitoring and combustion efficiency optimization in industrial facilities.
