Specialists in motor control panels for skids

Orange Instruments have recently successfully completed an order for six motor control panels for package units that will ultimately be supplied to Aramco for the Sufaniya offshore oilfield

Orange Instruments have recently successfully completed an order for six motor control panels for package units that will ultimately be supplied to Aramco for the Sufaniya offshore oilfield.

The panels not only house the motor starters but also control and monitor other on-skid instrumentation.

All of the work was completed in accordance with the latest Aramco specifications and standards.

The panels and associated conduit all had to fit into a predetermined area.

This was challenging to the design team but by careful selection of components and interlinking control cabinets on each package a successful design and layout was achieved.

Over the past years Orange Instruments have designed and manufactured similar electrical control equipment for equipment package units that are now installed on oil installations worldwide.

Orange Instruments have been designing control instrumentation for bluechip companies within the process industries since 1975.

The work has also included the design and build of hazardous area systems for the worldwide oil and gas industry.

Other industries also serviced include the chemical, food and beverage, paper and pharmaceutical markets.

Having acquired new owners during 2002, the organisation now offers customers a complete solution for process control systems, which are electrically designed, assembled, and tested within one purpose built facility.

Orange Instruments have also relocated to new premises that offer modern facilities combined with individual workshops for electrical, and instrumentation assembly as well as testing.

Once completed, work can be hooked up and commissioned for on-site service by Orange personnel.

All equipment is produced to the highest of standards and Orange are fully accredited to the quality standard ISO 9001:2000.

The company has for many years been responsible for the production of both standard digital and analogue instrumentation, including custom built products, more recently complemented by pump and valve servo positioners.

As well as a primary supplier for engineering services, procurement, assembly and functional testing, Orange also operate as sub-contract manufacturers for complete packaged systems for both batch and continuous processing operations.

The integration of various electronic elements into complete electrical process packages has become a major activity for the company, who have worked on many capital projects on both a contractor and sub-contractor basis.

They also have in-house programming expertise with logic controllers from major suppliers including Allen Bradley, Mitsubishi, Siemens and Omron.
