Simark Controls Delivers Follow-up Order for Fully Integrated VFD Systems

19.10.2018

Simark Controls Ltd., a subsidiary of SFC Energy, leading provider of hybrid power solutions to the stationary and mobile power generation markets, has delivered another follow-up order for their fully integrated Variable Frequency Drive systems (VFDs) to an Alberta Oil Producer. The order amounts to CAD 0.5 million.

These VFD Systems operate electric submersible pumps (ESPs) used to artificially lift heavy oil from well-pads. The VFDs significantly reduce installation and operating costs. Additional benefits are improved pump uptimes, optimized pump operation and augmented oil production.

“We continue to adapt our Variable Frequency Drive solutions to suit the unique requirements of each one of our users”, says Mark Vandenbrink, Vice-President Drives & Motor Control of Simark Controls. “Oil & gas producers are looking for intelligent customized solutions to help them increase their performance, automate their operations, reduce their integration and operating costs, and facilitate their logistics. Our Simark systems portfolio is perfectly suited to meet all these demands.”

In addition, hybrid EFOY Pro fuel cell/solar solutions by Simark Controls feature attractive logistics and operations cost savings over conventional power supplies. They offer extremely long system autonomy for months on end - maintenance-free, fully automatic, independent of weather and season, and environmentally friendly.
