Recently, Bernard Controls delivered electric actuators to GRTGaz compression Station located in the municipality of Evry-Grégy in Seine et Marne (France). The delivery and installation of explosion proof multi-turn actuators (STX) mounted on gearboxes and equipped with the intelligent control system INTELLI+® aimed at upgrading the valves interconnection grid to latest ATEX regulations. This close partnership with Bernard Controls is part of the major project of territorial development started several years ago, and which will move forward with the installation of actuators on other sites next September.
By offering the opportunity of either manual or non-intrusive automatic setting, the INTELLI+® intelligent control system offers top safety level. Moreover, INTELLI+® allows precise and reliable information transmission thanks to absolute encoders which record both the valve’s position and torque transmission in real time. The remote control functionality as much as the enhanced security features have been essential points for a successful intervention on this GRTgaz station. The STX INTELLI+® range integrates key functions to ensure the protection of the valve such as signaling continuity, partial stroking, Emergency shutdown (ESD).
