For over 145 years, Woodward has been collaborating with OEMs and end users to provide the technology, application expertise and support that you’ve come to trust from a market leader. Our field-proven prime mover and compressor controls and protection technologies are safely operating some of the world’s largest compression systems. And, many major compressor manufacturers incorporate Woodward systems into their equipment.
MEJORANDO EL RENDIMIENTO Y EFICIENCIA DE LA PLANTA
Our integrated turbine-compressor and motor-compressor control systems maximize availability and performance in up- stream, midstream and downstream oil and gas applications, helping owners run their compression systems and process at peak efficiencies. All of our systems meet industry standards for machinery control and safety, and are fully tested in a dynamic simulation environment—enabling you to reduce both system development and commissioning time.
COMPRESSOR CONTROL AND PROTECTION
Field Proven Across the Globe
CUSTOM COMPRESSOR CONTROLS
Woodward’s Integrated Compressor Control Systems utilize field proven hardware packages (MicroNet Plus or MicroNet TMR) and OEM qualified algorithms to improve compressor train performance, reliability, and protection. These purpose-built controllers are customized to meet the control, protection, and decoupling functionality required for the specific applica- tion’s requirements.
STANDARD COMPRESSOR CONTROLS
Woodward’s Vertex and Vertex-Pro control product lines are designed to control and protect industrial sized axial or centrifugal compressors with one or two recycle loops only. These standard off-the-shelf controllers are field configurable allowing OEMs and or users to easily configure/select the specific control algorithm required for the specific compressor loop and application.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES
Woodward has developed surge preventive techniques that help compressor users achieve peak performance of their process and minimize process disturbances. All our solutions are modeled in our advanced dynamic simulation program (NetSim) before being imple- mented in the control systems. Woodward’s patented rate PID algorithms provide anticipative opening of anti-surge.
