Are You Ready to Fuel Your Mind?
GATE Energy was founded with the mission of doing things right the first time. This simple yet powerful mission drove us to build processes and systems that have allowed us to hire, train, and develop graduate engineers into industry recognized subject matter experts and thought leaders.
Our Technical Blog Gives You Access To:
On-demand training videos developed by our industry experts
Easy-to-use simulation tools that will provide an 80-20 solution for typical production monitoring and optimization workflows
Technical articles and abstracts centered around energy industry knowledge and lessons learned
We want to do our part and make sure that new decision makers have the right tools, guidance, mentors, and coaches to help them make the right decision the first time, every time.
Control Systems Part 3: Rules For Tuning Loops Prior To Startup
Control Systems Part 3: Rules for Tuning Loops Prior to Startup
Control Systems Part 2: Introduction To System Dynamics - Tuning Controllers For Initial Startup
This is part two of the GATEKEEPER series on control systems tuning. To effectively tune a control loop, there needs to be an understanding about the dynamics of the system.
Control Systems Part 1: Introduction To Control Systems & Controllers
This series of GATEKEEPERS will provide methods for using readily available process design data for determining effective tuning parameters before startup.
Control Of Flow Rates At Startup
Chokes and control valves are often oversized even for normal operation, and are sometimes far too large to provide adequate control of low flow rates at initial startup.
Keys To A Successful Initial Startup
The Initial Startup is the moment of truth where everything from subsurface to topsides becomes a single entity and has to work together. Design disconnects will become apparent.
