EMERGENCY SHUT DOWN (ESD)

Emergency Shutdown System (ESD) is designed to prevent and/or minimize the consequences of emergency situations, related to the escape of hydrocarbons, or the outbreak of fire in hydrocarbon carrying areas or areas which may otherwise be hazardous.

The purpose of this is to monitor the process of safety parameters and activate or shutdown the process system if these parameters deviate from normal conditions.

It is part of the Control Panel (also referred as WHCP) that provides detection of a hazardous event, and a Shutdown Valve (also referred to as SDV or Emergency Shutdown Valve, ESV, ESD, SSV, or ESDV).

CONTROL PANELS & SYSTEMS

There are many kinds of these, also known as WHCPs, Shutdown Panels (SDP), Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD) or Hydraulic Safety Shutdown System (HSSS).

These have pneumatic/hydraulic/electric components, which can also be integrated with PLC/ RTU/ SCADA. The control systems can be standalone, as well as an interface between the control plant and the wellhead safety system.

These are used for monitoring, controlling (Remote/Local) and safe shutdown of Subsurface Controlled Safety Valves (SCSSV), Surface Safety Valves (SSV), and other wellhead safety valves (Choke, ESD, HIPPS) in oil & gas production fields to ensure safe operation of unattended wells/platforms. Some of them can be SIL2 or SIL3 certificated.

ACTUATORS & VALVES

The actuators allow to automate valves. These can be single-acting, which allows to transform the valve into a Shutdown Safety Valve, or double-acting, that allows transforming the valve into a Control Valve normally used in processes.

There is a great variety of types of valves for different applications in the Oil & Gas industry. For the safety functionality, gate or ball valves are generally used. For control functionality, ball valves and plug valves are used, the latter especially in operations of fracture and flow back.

FRACKING ASSISTANCE

During the complex processes of Fracking, Flow Back and Well Testing of wells, actuated valves and control systems are required for the manifolds. These allow to keep the operation SAFE and also provide real-time information of the process and allow remote control of the valves, making the operation more efficient and comfortable for the operator.

PLUNGER LIFT

During the early production stage of an oil well, the reservoir pressure should be high enough to push hydrocarbons up the wellbore to the surface. When a reservoir lacks sufficient pressure for producing oil and gas from the wells, artificial lifting methods are employed.

We are focused on the optimization of the plunger lift system using SMART Controllers to allow the customer to increase the production with proprietary design algorithms using the last available technology including wireless and SCADA.

WELCOME TO SMARTER CONTROLLERS

Our duty and expertise are found in control, automatization, production optimization, and security applied to automatic valves, especially those in gas or petroleum wells, operations of fracking and gas ducts.

We believe in custom-fit solutions, but we develop our products to transform them into a reliable Commoditie that can offer results to all our clients.

We focus on developing products to improve operative situations for our clients. We gladly offer visits to your office and installations to understand you real needs. Our vast experience in the field allows our engineering team to efficiently identify and bring to the table all possible solutions.

Intro01b

Intro02b

Our engineering team is composed of three groups which work combinedly according to each project’s needs.

Electronic: It is dedicated to select PLCs, develop PCBs, and program them in different languages such as Ladder, C, C++, etc.

Hydraulic and Pneumatic Automatization: this team diagrams the operation’s logic to meet the products solutions. They design the control panels and generate all documentation needed for its production.

Mechanic: This team works with actuators: it designs them, adapts them to different valves available in the market, and integrates peripherals as positioning indicators, pressure transmitters, etc.

We have the capability to administer certification processes such as SIL, and also offer patenting services.
