ELECTRICAL, PLC & VALVES
Custom electrical controls and valve services typically involve the design, installation, maintenance and repair of electrical control systems and valves tailored to specific industrial or commercial applications.
THE PROCESS
CUSTOM Design:
Custom electrical controls are designed to meet specific requirements and applications of a specific industry or process. This involves understanding the clients needs, conducting feasibility studies, creating control system specifications and developing detailed electrical schematics.
INSTALLATION:
After the design phase, the electrical control system is installed and integrated into the clients facility. This includes mounting electrical panels, wiring components, connecting sensors / actuators and configuring programmable logic controllers (PLCs) or other control devices.
PROGRAMMING:
PLC's or other programmable devices are programmed to execute the desired control functions. This involves writing code or creating logic diagrams to control processes, monitor variables, respond to inputs and communicate with other devices or systems.
TESTING & COMMISSION:
Once the installation and programming are complete, thorough testing and commissioning are carried out to ensure the control system operates correctly and reliably. This includes functional testing, calibration, fine-tuning, and addressing any issues or malfunctions.
VALVE SELECTION:
Custom valve services involve selecting the appropriate valves for specific applications based on factors such as flow rate, pressure, temperature, fluid properties and process requirements. This may involve choosing from various types of valves, including gate valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, control valves and more.
VALVE INSTALLATION:
Once the valves are selected, they are installed in the appropriate locations within the process piping system. This involves proper alignment, connection and sealing of the valves, along with the integration of necessary actuators, positioners, or other control devices.
CALIBRATION & TESTING:
Valves need to be calibrated to ensure accurate control and operation. This involves adjusting the valve position or control parameters to achieve the desired flow rates or pressures. Additionally, comprehensive testing is conducted to verify the valve's performance, leakage and functionality.
MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS:
Regular maintenance is essential to keep valves in good working condition. This includes periodic inspections, cleaning, lubrication and replacing worn-out or damaged parts. In case of malfunctions or breakdowns, valve service providers offer repair and troubleshooting services to address the issues promptly.
RETROFIT & UPGRADES:
Over time, existing valve systems may require upgrades or retrofitting to improve efficiency, reliability, or safety. Valve services providers can assist with assessing the systems needs, recommending suitable upgrades or retrofits and implementing the necessary modifications.
It's important to note that the specifics of custom electrical controls and valve services can vary depending on the industry, application and clients requirements. The services are typically tailored to meet the unique needs of each project and ensure the optimal performance and reliability of the control systems and valves involved.
