Refining

Triconex Safety systems have been applied to virtually every type of processing unit that generates or processes excessive heat (i.e., above 500°F/260°C), high pressure (above 500 psig/34 Bar), and/or combustible or toxic materials. Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD), process fired heaters, and turbomachinery applications are just some of the examples of where Triconex is used in today's modern refineries.

Protect your investment using Triconex's high availability, high reliability TMR technology. With over 140 MILLION HOURS without failure to perform, shouldn't you consider Triconex for your safety system and critical controls applications?

Value Proposition Statement

Protect people, work-in-process, and capital investment with Triconex TMR technology and application expertise. Our many years of knowledge and experience are an invaluable asset during the specification, implementation, start-up, and long-term support of the project.
