INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION

PROMEL‘s industrial automation engineering division is staffed by a team of specialized technicians capable of supporting our clients in electrical and mechanical design, supervisory software development, and the supply of integrated control systems. Specifically, we can conduct feasibility studies for upgrading existing systems or developing new projects with solutions that meet the specific needs of the project. We also operate in the cybersecurity sector with technicians certified by TÜV Rheinland.

OIL&GAS INDUSTRY

OIL&GAS INDUSTRY

In the industrial automation sector, PROMEL manufactures integrated control, protection and supervision systems, with the ability to manage both stand-alone solutions and turnkey solutions, thanks to its technical staff and the experience accumulated over years of work in the heavy industrial and energy sectors.

In years of activity in the Oil&Gas sector, PROMEL has applied the technical standards of the major protagonists of this business.
By producing and installing its own systems in the plants of the petrochemical majors, such as:
EXXON MOBIL, ENI, SHELL, CHEVRON, PETROBRAS, SNAM RG, PEMEX, SAUDI ARAMCO, TOTAL, CONOCO, PHILLIPS, PETRONAS.
and on behalf of EPC Companies such as:
KBR, CHIYODA, BECHTEL, JGC, DAELIM, TECHNIP, FOSTER WHEELER, SAIPEM

Thanks to these experiences and knowledge, PROMEL is today a leader for the supply/integration of control systems, capable of satisfying the most stringent requirements. The skills and methodologies acquired have allowed PROMEL to successfully deal with applications aimed at the industrial control field for operating machines.

PROMEL has been operating in the Oil & Gas sector since 1991, first as integrators of operator display systems, then as integrators of control and safety systems. The control systems are mostly addressed to the control of gas turbines, steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, reciprocating compressors. As a control system we mean a programmable logic controller (PLC) equipped with an operator interface, inserted in a structure (industrial cabinet) which includes all the necessary interfaces (terminal blocks) towards the unit to be controlled (turbine, compressor or apparatus that requires the control of the operating process).

Our activity as integrators consists of the following:
– Execution of detailed engineering (bill of materials, Layout, wiring diagrams, logic diagrams, test procedures etc.)
– Execution of software engineering, programming of the controller (PLC) by customizing according to customer requests, execution of the graphic pages containing the operator interfaces that allow the management, control and diagnostics of the system – Purchase of the components necessary for the construction of the system from the cabinets, to the PLCs and the necessary accessories
– Assembly and wiring of the systems
– Execution of the functional test of the system with the use of static or dynamic simulators and also through remote activities.

DEDICATED PRODUCTS

Our experience in the Oil & Gas industry has allowed us to develop two products dedicated to hazardous environments:
► Local Panel (PLP)
► Junction Box (PJB)
With ATEX Zone 1 & 2 and RINA certification for naval applications.

RENEWABLE ENERGY AND RECYCLING

Beyond the oil and gas sector, our latest experience as systems integrators has expanded to the alternative energy production sector. Promel collaborated on the development and design of a reactor based on thermochemical biomass conversion processes. In this case, too, we provided detailed design, software development, construction of the control system prototype, and installation on the plant. We are currently continuing our collaboration for the final development of the prototype.

In the raw material recycling and recovery sector, we designed and supplied the control system for managing a tire raw material plant. As above, we provided design, development of the operating logic, construction, and commissioning of the prototype. The collaboration is continuing for the commissioning of the prototype plant.
We also provide system integration of various types, even at a lower level, according to customer specifications.

SERVICE E SUPPORT

PROMEL can provide comprehensive assistance, including technical surveys, on-site supervision, project management and supervision, and control system installation and commissioning. Fill out the form to be contacted by one of our technical managers: we will assess your system’s needs and provide you with the most suitable solution.

Assistance, commissioning & start-up

PROMEL maintains since a long time a leading position for the commissioning and start up activities of its own control systems. Indeed we can also provide assistance as:

  • Qualified technical assistance
  • Supervision of plant and wiring
  • Pre-start up tests and control systems initialisation
  • Commissioning and start up of plants

According to such activities we can provide different experts (electricians, commissioning staff, instrumentation engineers, systems developers) that can operate on different kinds of plants (onshore / offshore).

Design

PROMEL can perform various engineering tasks.

Hardware Engineering

  • Control System Architecture
  • I/O Signal List with Processing
  • Power Distribution Diagram within the Panel
  • Component Purchasing Specification
  • Component Arrangement within the Panel
  • Control Panel Wiring
  • Lists of Interconnecting Cables and Related Wiring

Software Engineering

  • Definition of Functional Specifications and/or Logic Diagrams
  • Configuration of Various Protection Systems (e.g., Bently Nevada, Generator Protection)
  • Programming of Various PLC Types (GE IP, SIEMENS, ALLEN BRADLEY, ABB, HIMA, DetTronics, Mark V, Mark VI, Mark VIe, Mark VIeS, MICRONET, etc.)
  • Configuration of Graphical HMI Pages (Cimplicity, CITECT, RS View 32, etc.). Upon request, PROMEL can acquire the customer’s basic design and develop the detailed engineering.

Training Courses

Years of experience in the sector have highlighted the importance of operator training, both in plant operation and maintenance.
PROMEL has qualified personnel dedicated to training activities, with considerable experience in developing and programming control systems. This background allows operators attending sessions to gain a high level of preparation and knowledge of the control systems they will be using. Courses can be held

  • Onsite
  • At the customer’s premises
  • At PROMEL’s premises.

ASSISTANCE

PROMEL staff has gained extensive experience in construction site activities and is available to customers to identify suitable industrial automation solutions for plant operating problems.
PROMEL can provide qualified personnel for survey activities, construction management and supervision, installation and commissioning of control systems.
