Control systems for Turbomachinery and beyond!

As 2025 winds down, we’re looking back with gratitude at the many moments we got to innovate, develop, fine-tune, and optimise turbomachinery control systems together. In the world of turbomachinery controls, every spark of collaboration fuels bigger ideas—and we couldn’t do it without the trust of our clients, partners, and team.

This festive season, we wish you and your loved ones joy, rest, and a well-deserved pause from the fast lane. May your holidays run as smoothly as a perfectly tuned control loop and your new year be filled with bright ideas, bold improvements, and breakthroughs waiting to happen.

Here’s to a powerful, productive, and brilliantly automated 2026! ⚙️✨

Warm wishes,
The Control-Care Team

Control-Care has successfully completed a major compressor control project for a refinery in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, supporting a new two-stage air compressor installation for the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU).

Project Overview
Between 2023 and 2025, a new air compressor was installed on site to supply additional air to the FCCU regenerator. The OEM-supplied compressor features two compression stages and is driven by a fixed-speed electric motor, requiring precise and reliable control to ensure stable operation under varying process demands.

Scope of Work
Control-Care was responsible for the full design and software engineering of its compressor control solution. This included implementation of Antisurge and Performance Control Applications—Control-Care’s ACA and PCA—integrated within the Honeywell C300 control environment. The solution was engineered to safeguard compressor integrity, optimize performance, and enhance overall unit reliability.
