SERVICES

Tarco is your EPC partner for turnkey delivery of rotating equipment installations and upgrades around the world. Whether you need a small compressor control upgrade, a gas turbine retrofit, a new generator installation, we provide the engineering, automation, construction and commissioning services to make your project successful. ​

CONTROL SYSTEM UPGRADES

Aging and obsolete control systems can result in operational downtime, costly maintenance, emissions releases and other problems. Upgrading your control systems utilizing commercial off the shelf products can prolong the life span of existing assets and reduce these issues.​

​

AUXILIARY SYSTEM RETROFITS​

We do complete integration of auxiliary system retrofits, including: starters, lube oil systems, inlet air systems, exhaust systems, fuel trains, cooling, and other systems critical to efficient rotating equipment operations.​

PLANT ENGINEERING BALANCE

Retrofits and new installations require integration with existing plant electrical, mechanical, and control systems. Tarco can provide the expertise required for complete turnkey execution of these projects.​

NEW INSTALLATION

Tarco can support your new rotating equipment installations with balance of plant engineering, integration of auxiliary systems, automation integration, construction, commissioning, and field services. ​

PACKAGED SYSTEMS

We work with packagers to support your new system requirements, by providing automation and engineering support and site level integration. Our motiv line of packaged systems can save time and money for standard project, while allowing flexibility for your specific needs. ​

TURBINE CONTROL SYSTEM​

Tarco’s motiv® Turbine Control Systems (motiv® TCS) are fully engineered, PLC-based upgrades for gas and steam turbines. These upgrades improve reliability, increase maintainability and enhance the operation of older gas turbines, extending the useful life of the equipment and minimizing downtime losses.​

motiv® TCS Turbine Control Systems can be configured for package control and fuel control of gas turbine driven gas compressors, generators, and pumps, and can also include water injection control, or steam injection control.​

motiv® TCS systems are available with the following functions:​

• Alarm and shutdown​

• Surge control​

• Fuel control (governor)​

• Start sequencing​

• Auxiliary system control​

• Valve sequencing​

• Process valve control

• Engine/compressor/generator diagnostics​

• Vibration monitoring​

• End device diagnostics​

motiv® TCS is an open architecture design. It is completely expandable and ideal for new installations or control system upgrades:

• Turbine-Compressor​

• Turbine-Pump​

• Turbine-Generator​

SURGE CONTROLLER​

Tarco’s motiv® ACS (Anti-surge control system) is comprised of a tight integration of anti-surge control, compressor control, and process control functions into a single package, where separate controllers are not required for each key function. This feature eliminates complicated and troublesome communication, increases reliability and decreases cost.​

Tarco offers advanced anti-surge control solutions to OEMs and end-users that provide significant cost savings, when compared to traditional ‘black-box’ approaches. Our developed code-sets can be hosted in many different control systems. The flexibility of controller platforms means a lower cost of ownership by integrating compressor solutions into the user’s preferred PLC controller and DCS system.​

Benefits of the motiv® Anti-Surge Control Systems:​

• Integrated control capability​

• Open architecture system​

• Non-proprietary interfaces​

• Simplified interface to DCS or SCADA Features​

• Single and multi-stage machines​

• Integrated air/fuel ratio option​

RECIPROCATING ENGINE CONTROLLER​

Tarco’s motiv® Reciprocating Control Systems (motiv® RCS) provides cost-effective control retrofits for reciprocating engine and electric motor packages. The PLC-based system is available with the following functions:​

• Speed control (governor)​

• Torque control​

• Air/fuel ratio control​

• Ignition timing set point generation​

• Temperature controllers​

• Capacity control​

• DCS/SCADA interface, and a graphics operator interface for system status​

• Trending and data logging​

FUEL CONTROLLER​

Tarco developed the motiv® FCS to help clients that only need to upgrade their existing fuel control or governor and not a full control package. The motiv ® is almost “plug and play” saves customers time and money with a cable for cable, point for point replacement unit designed to quickly and affordably retrofit existing analog or obsolete digital controls. Tarco’s motiv® Fuel Control Systems (motiv® FCS) have proven reliability around the world.​
