Automation and Controls

Spaceline understands the power of automation in the systems we design. It enhances test repeatability, safety and efficiency of the operation.

Our fluid systems are designed for automation from the beginning:

  • Concept of operations is designed into the system from the beginning.
  • Each user operation is proceduralized to determine what type of valve or instrument is best suited for the function.
  • Redundancy is added for safety critical or mission critical operations.

We know the manufacturers that make reliable components and have the service to back them up so we can deliver the best product to the customer:
  • Flow control valves; electric or pneumatically actuated.
  • Electronic Pres sure regulation and control.
  • Proportional, Integral, Derivative (PID) control and tuning.
  • Integration of Motor control with frequency drives for process efficiency.
    • Centrifugal and recriprocating pump control.
    • Automated bleed and chill in for cryogenic systems.
  • SCR driven heaters for temperature control of fluids.
  • Pressure Transmitters with local and remote readout.
  • Flowmeter integration:
    • Coriolis meters for highest accuracy.
    • Turbine flowmeters for liquids and gases.
    • Venturi flowmeters

Integration of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Graphical User Interface.
  • Custom programming and integration of pressure and temperature control sequences.
  • E-stop programming and testing.
  • Integration of safety backup system and backup power supply.
