Oil & Gas Transmission
Oil & Gas Transmission
Transporting energy across vast distances requires a network of steel, pressure, and precision. In the midstream sector, a compressor failure or a valve lockup isn’t just an operational annoyance it creates a bottleneck that backs up production and disrupts downstream delivery. TCI Supply serves as the logistical partner for pipeline operators and transmission companies.
We support the critical infrastructure that moves oil and natural gas from the wellhead to the refinery and city gate. Whether you are managing a remote compressor station, a tank farm, or a high-pressure distribution hub, we supply the actuation, instrumentation, and control components needed to maintain safe, continuous flow.
Critical Applications We Support
Pipeline Actuation & Isolation
The ability to open and close massive valves against high differential pressure is critical. We supply the heavy-duty actuation systems that control the flow of millions of cubic feet of gas and barrels of oil.
- Valve Actuation: Electric, pneumatic, and gas-over-oil actuators for ball, gate, and butterfly valves (Limitorque, Rotork, Bettis).
- Emergency Shutdown (ESD): Quick-closing actuators and solenoid systems designed to isolate sections of pipe instantly during a rupture or leak.
- Pigging Operations: Signalers and pressure switches for pig launchers and receivers to track cleaning and inspection tools.
Compressor & Pump Stations
Compressor stations are the heart of the pipeline. We support the turbines and reciprocating engines that provide the muscle to move product.
- Engine Controls: Ignition systems, governors, and fuel valves for large reciprocating engines (Waukesha, Cooper-Bessemer, Caterpillar).
- Turbine Controls: Vibration monitoring and fuel metering valves for gas turbine-driven compressors.
- Lube & Cooling: Lube oil pumps, temperature switches, and fin-fan cooler motors to prevent overheating.
Custody Transfer & Metering
In midstream, measurement is money. We support the high-precision “cash register” of the pipeline where ownership transfers occur.
- Flow Measurement: Coriolis meters, ultrasonic flow meters, and orifice plates for precise volume tracking.
- Flow Computers: Replacement boards and power supplies for the specialized computers that calculate flow rates and API gravity.
- Analysis: Gas chromatographs and moisture analyzers to ensure product quality meets tariff specifications.
Tank Farms & Terminal Safety
Storing hydrocarbons requires strict environmental and fire safety controls. We supply the instrumentation for storage terminals.
- Level Control: Radar level transmitters and servo gauges for precise tank inventory management.
- Fire & Gas Detection: Flame detectors, combustible gas sensors (LEL), and horn/strobe alarms for hazardous areas.
- Overfill Protection: High-level alarm switches and safety instrumented systems (SIS) to prevent spills.
