1 CONTROL SYSTEM D ESIGN, E NGINEERING & C ONSTRUCTION W ith over four decades of experience, A.B.L.E. Company is a leading independent boiler and power plant control systems integrator serving major corporations, government facilities, medical centers, power utilities and university campuses in the northeastern United States. Building on a specialist s understanding of central heating plant operations, A.B.L.E. Company offers a complete range of automation services including: conceptual planning, design engineering, custom fabrication and operator training.

2 Experience A.B.L.E. Company recognizes that its success is due to completely satisfying its customers, many of whom have been with us for many years. As an experienced facility manager, you can understand the benefits of working with a company that has maintained and designed hundreds of control systems. In meeting your facility s requirements, any new or upgraded heating plant automation system we provide will be based on a full understanding of the real costs of implementing economical, reliable and safe control systems, along with a strong commitment to maintaining a tradition of excellence built over 30+ years.

3 Integrity At A.B.L.E. Company, we recognize that client relationships will often, and should, last for many years. Reflecting the trust necessary for a good client-integrator relationship and the importance of our systems to a facility, we have become a leading independent control systems integrator by offering the right balance of initial cost, operating economy and control sophistication in our automation solutions. The efficiency, reliability and safety of the hundreds of instrumentation, control and monitoring systems supplied by A.B.L.E. Company has been well proven over many years of service.

4 Reliability As an independent control systems integrator, A.B.L.E. Company has the freedom to fully evaluate controller, instrumentation and software vendors on the basis of delivery performance, operator ease-of-use, product reliability, and quality control. Field instrumentation is selected for maximum accuracy and long term reliability. A.B.L.E. Company only uses components from suppliers whose equipment meets the stringent quality requirements required for the efficient, reliable and safe operation of a modern central heating and utility plant.

5 Safety Today, facilities simply cannot afford to take any chances with operational safety. All control, instrumentation and monitoring systems provided by A.B.L.E. Company are fully compliant with the latest industrial standards and government regulations. Programmable logic controller (PLC) based flame safety systems designed by A.B.L.E. Company include external watchdog timers, self-checking program routines and full safety trip redundancy. With A.B.L.E. Company s extensive experience in designing drum level, flame safety and furnace draft controls, facility managers can rest easily, fully assured that their plant meets the latest safety standards.

6 Simplicity Unnecessary complexity in control system design directly results in increased down-time, a greater potential for human error and substantially higher maintenance costs. Control systems and operator interfaces developed by A.B.L.E. Company are optimized to provide your plant operators with a complete but simple, real-time source of process information to work from and are designed to require minimal operator intervention. With an A.B.L.E. Company designed control system, a facility s management can look forward to many years of economical, safe and reliable heating plant operation.

7 Flexibility Flexibility in design is key to providing facilities with cost effective automation solutions. Depending on a facility s needs, combustion controls can be based on single-point (jackshaft) positioning, parallel positioning or fully metered control strategies, with or without oxygen trim. Burner management and flame safety systems can be based on dedicated flame safeguards or programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Balance of plant controls including chilled and hot water, condensate, feedwater, fuel and steam distribution systems can be implemented at levels ranging from simple single loop controllers to distributed PLC networks with supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software operator interfaces.

8 In addition to the core design, engineering and construction services described in this bulletin, A.B.L.E. Company provides the following lines of equipment for new heating plant construction and existing plant upgrades: Firetube and Watertube Boilers Low NOx Liquid and Gas Fired Burners Firetube and Watertube Heat Recovery Steam and Hot Water Generators Deaerators and Feedwater Systems Condensate Return Systems Fuel Oil Supply Systems Heat Recovery Economizers EPA and New York City Compliant Opacity Monitors A.B.L.E.
