Turbomachinery control solutions

1. Where are turbomachines used?​

Nearly every form of renewable energy with machinery necessitates the use of turbomachinery. Be it compressors, blowers, vents, pumps, or turbines – such turbomachinery solutions include a range of essential components for applications in producing, storing, or supplying renewable energy. Broadly, turbomachines are divided into two categories: the first is used to produce power. It includes steam turbines, hydro turbines, and gas turbines. The second is to increase the working fluid's total pressure by consuming power. This includes steam turbines, gas turbines and motors driving pumps, compressors, and fans. With the widespread utilization of turbomachinery process solutions and advancements in the field, it is imperative to have the best-in-class turbomachinery control and turbomachinery process solutions to ensure optimum performance and achieve energy goals.​

2. What is turbomachinery used for?​

Motors can drive the pumps, compressors, and fans. Solutions for turbines, generators, compressors, and drives, along with mechanical retrofit competencies and an extensive range of turbomachinery solutions, enable operational excellence and optimized safety. Turbomachinery can be used for power generation, automotive processes, aerospace systems, and other applications across different industries. We provide turbomachinery process solutions for general purpose and critical applications, improving safety and operational efficiency while enabling enhanced performance monitoring and asset management.​

3. Why are turbomachinery control solutions essential?​

Turbine-powered process facilities must run continuously for a decade or more. This necessitates solid controls, reliable mechanical components, the avoidance of false trips, and the ability to repair and perform tests online. Mechanical retrofit solutions can extend the life of turbomachinery control equipment and enhance overall dependability by improving visualization, diagnostics, and simulations – helping enhance operational efficiency by ensuring quicker turnarounds. We offer robust turbomachinery solutions, including software, safety systems, and controllers, such as EcoStruxure Triconex Safety Systems, EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS, PLA, PACs, dedicated controllers, and human machine interface (HMI).
