Westlock’s valve-monitoring solutions: The perfect match for oil and gas challenges

The oil and gas sector relies on Westlock products.

John Brooks Company Limited carries valve-monitoring solutions by Westlock Controls, highly recommended for the oil and gas sector. These valve-monitoring and -control systems are compatible with all area classifications, whether the specific application involves building new plants or optimizing existing ones.

Designed for the challenges of on-shore and offshore scenarios, Westlock products help to maintain operational efficiency and worker safety in a variety of customer process applications.

For monitoring, control, or networking

Because of increasing global demand and the near-depletion of conventional reserves, it has become more complex, expensive, and technically challenging to produce, transport, and process oil and gas. This is why, with the assistance of John Brooks Company, Westlock offers innovative networking solutions and dependable products that deliver accurate, reliable, and efficient valve control and monitoring at all stages of the oil and gas production cycle. These products are compatible with a variety of processing applications, such as valve position monitoring, valve operational control, valve field networking, partial stroke testing, and emergency shutdown.

Customers can choose from the following Westlock options:

• Limit switches and sensors – for rotary and linear applications in standard, intrinsically safe and explosion-proof environments. Examples: single- and double-pole mechanical switches, inductive proximity switches and sensors, and explosion-proof position sensors that resist shock and vibration stress.
• Switch boxes and valve monitors – integrated solutions for monitoring rotary and linear process valves by combining switches/sensors, wiring terminals, enclosures, and local visual indication in one unit.
• Valve-control monitors – combining the capabilities of valve monitoring and control of automation process valves with integrated position sensors and low-power energy solenoid valves in one unit.
• Valve network solutions – embedded control systems in the Intellis brand, to automate valves and link field inputs/outputs to the host PLC or DCS.
• Position transmitters – continuous feedback of a valve position integrated with valve-position and -control monitors in a standalone unit.
• Positioners – pneumatic, analog, and digital devices that deliver dependable control for action valves.
• Sanitary valve position and control monitors – the Pharma II and AccuTrak 9881 for sanitary applications.
• Solenoid valves – the Falcon brand, designed to address low-power actuation needs.
