TES-i SENSE AND CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES AND SERVICES
Capability Industrial Digital Engine Controller (iDEC)
TES developed the first multi-fuel industrial digital engine controller (iDEC) to use natural gas as fuel to generate electricity and hydraulic power. Developed from traditional FADEC technology, TES’ patented application of digital technology applied to turbine control systems is the first in the industry to improve efficiency and reduce operating costs.
One iDEC can manage multiple engines, switching between a variety of fuel sources and boosting the capabilities of power generation automation while decreasing operating and ownership costs. The software interface includes real-time monitoring, remote system controls, and full system visibility.
CruzFrac™
CruzFrac™ software and electronic components control high horsepower turbine-driven centrifugal pumps used in hydraulic fracturing operations. It allows operators to remotely control and monitor the turbines, allowing for early performance issue identification.
The TES system incorporates remote operator controls for selecting a pump’s RPM. It also monitors and records the pump’s performance details, allowing offsite supervision through remote real-time monitoring via the cloud. The dashboard displays the pump output pressures at different rotational speeds, delivering diagnostic support to field operators.
Site Advise™
Site Advise™ allows for real-time GPS-enabled asset location tracking. Using mesh networks and TES’ asset nodes, this system gives users the power to track, monitor, and even adjust certain controls of remote assets in the field. Examples include remotely monitoring water tank levels, monitoring pressures and levels in machinery, and remotely activating and deactivating power.
Our Solutions at Work
TES-i IDEC SOLUTION
In 2013, TES-i was the only company to have successfully controlled turbine engines for a frack spread operating entirely on well gas, saving $15 million in fuel cost over a nine-month period. Green Field Energy Services selected TES-i’s iDEC system to power these pumps and, with TES-i engineering support, adapted TES-i’s iDEC units to successfully run on 100% field gas. TES-i's universal iDEC unit improves drilling extraction methods by allowing turbines to run efficiently on natural gas or diesel fuel compared to the industries traditionally mixed power. Based on current energy prices, by using 100% field gas instead of diesel, an operator can lower its fueling costs by up to 88%. In addition to environmental benefits, the iDEC unit reduces emissions and delivery traffic.
