Motor Controller for the Oil Industry

Oil industry operations depend on heavy duty motors driving pumping, processing and handling equipment, often under load profiles that shift considerably through a shift as flow rates, viscosity and process demands change. That kind of variability is precisely where a fixed, unadjusted motor output leaves energy on the table.

Integra from Suresense is designed to respond to exactly this kind of fluctuating demand. It continuously senses the real load on the motor and adjusts power delivery in real time, ensuring energy use tracks the actual work being done rather than a worst case figure the motor was originally specified against. This happens without any impact on the fixed speed operation the equipment depends on for safe, consistent running.

Given the scale of motor-driven equipment typically found across oil industry sites, even modest percentage savings per motor can translate into a substantial reduction in total energy spend. The soft start functio

n also has particular relevance here, reducing mechanical stress and current surge on large, heavy duty motors that are expensive to maintain and costly to have out of action unexpectedly.

Suresense can work alongside site engineers to identify which oil industry motors present the strongest case for fitting Integra, based on load variability and operating hours.
