A gas producer in the U.S. was creating five new facilities
and needed completely modular skids that could be easily
interchanged if necessary without impacting production.
Enerflex, an OEM skid builder, developed a new solution that on
seamless network connectivity via Allen-Bradley® Stratix® devices.
IntelliCENTER® software for motor control centers provides real-
time visibility into skid pressure, temperature, level, faults and
more. The producer can now use any skid where it’s needed most
and review skid performance to improve decision making.
