Control Foundations

The Control Your Operations Depend On

Strengthen the foundation so everything above it performs predictably and securely.

Secure and stable operations start at the control layer, where measurements are taken and control actions are executed. Reliable valves and trusted measurements are essential before advanced control, analytics, or digital systems can deliver value.

This foundational layer directly affects uptime, safety, and operational stability. When valves degrade or measurements drift, variability increases, alarms multiply, and operational risk rises.

The Challenge

Valves & Actuation

Stable Operations Start with Reliable Execution

Control valves are the primary execution point of every process. Poor valve performance is a common source of instability, unplanned trips, and inefficiency.

Spartan helps ensure valves perform as designed by combining proven Emerson technologies with diagnostics and lifecycle support.

Measurement & Instrumentation

A Strong Foundation Enables Stable Systems

Stable control depends on accurate, reliable measurement. Transmitters provide the data operators and control systems rely on to make safe, timely decisions.

Spartan supports trusted measurement with field‑proven instrumentation designed for long‑term performance in harsh environments.

$500K ANNUAL OpEx REDUCTION FROM CALIBRATION OPTIMIZATION

Calibration Optimization for Remote Operations

A remote industrial operation was performing frequent calibrations on high‑performance pressure and temperature transmitters based on conservative, fixed intervals. After Spartan Controls implemented a performance‑based calibration optimization approach, the operation reduced unnecessary calibration events and remote site visits while maintaining confidence in measurement certainty and transmitter stability, delivering significant operating cost savings.

~$2.1M IN PROJECT SAVINGS THROUGH FASTER STARTUP AND RISK REDUCTION

Enhancing Safety with Coriolis Meters

An industrial operation required reliable flow measurement in safety‑critical applications where traditional calibration and verification practices increased manual intervention and operator exposure. By implementing Coriolis flow meters with in‑line verification capabilities, Spartan Controls reduced the need for intrusive maintenance activities while improving measurement confidence and supporting safer, more reliable operation.

$15K+ IN AVOIDED INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS BY VERIFYING LUBE OIL FLOW

Flow Verified, Bearings Protected

A compressor was experiencing premature bearing failures, and the operation needed to confirm whether sufficient lube oil was reaching the bearing. Spartan Controls used a non‑intrusive Flexim clamp‑on ultrasonic flowmeter to verify lube oil flow without installing permanent instrumentation, avoiding unnecessary equipment, wiring, and labor while protecting critical rotating equipment.

100% CONSISTENT TANK BALANCING ACROSS 17 CHEMICAL STORAGE TANKS

Consistent Tank Balancing Across Complex Chemical Storage Systems

A chemical facility operating a complex storage network struggled with inconsistent inventory balance across multiple tanks. Spartan Controls implemented a coordinated tank balancing and measurement approach that delivered consistent, system‑wide tank performance, improving inventory visibility and enabling reliable operation across all 17 tanks.
