Alberta Governor carries safety systems that provide protection for steam and gas turbines. Our safety systems adhere to recognized standards, including API 670 and SIL.
We carry the following safety systems:
TWoodward’s ProTech® TPS PLC safety system is a SIL 3 system for any size steam, gas, or hydro turbine, or plant process equipment. This safety PLC’s fast (12 millisecond) response time, 0.5 to 32 000 rpm speed range, and integrated overspeed and acceleration detection/protection functionality, make it ideal for application on critical high-speed rotating motors, compressor, turbines or engines.
The ProTech-GII is an overspeed safety device designed to safely shut down steam, gas, and hydro turbines of all sizes upon sensing an overspeed or over-acceleration event. This device accurately monitors turbine rotor speed and acceleration via active or passive MPUs (magnetic pickups) and issues a shutdown command to the turbine’s trip valve(s) or corresponding trip system.
The ProTech-SX is a safety PLC with integrated overspeed protection designed to safely shut down any plant process equipment, engine, or steam, gas, or hydro turbine upon sensing a safety event. This stand-alone safety system accepts two speed inputs and seven discrete/analog inputs, uses programmed logic to determine when a safety event has occurred, then issues system shutdown commands and alarms. The ProTech-SX uses five fast-acting, configurable relay outputs and a speed meter output to interface with/command the specific system or device being protected.
