Credibility
The marine environment is unforgiving. Salt air corrodes, vessel motion stresses mechanical and electrical systems, and assets must operate for months between maintenance windows, often thousands of miles from the nearest qualified engineer. On an FPSO or LNG carrier, a control failure is not inconvenient: it is dangerous, expensive, and potentially catastrophic for cargo containment and personnel safety.
We have been designing and commissioning marine control systems for over 50 years. From FPSO power and compression systems in the North Sea to tanker cargo loading automation in the Arabian Gulf, from naval vessel machinery controls to offshore platform generator load sharing, our systems are engineered specifically for the marine environment, classified by the world’s leading classification societies, and supported around the clock from our global network of engineering offices.
Applications
We deliver purpose-built control systems for every major marine asset type, from floating production units and LNG carriers to naval vessels, tankers, and offshore platforms. Our marine engineers understand the regulatory, environmental, and operational constraints that distinguish marine projects from land-based installations. Click to expand each application.
Integrated control for gas turbine generators, cargo pump drives, flare gas compressors, and utility systems on floating production, storage, and offloading vessels, including motion-compensated sensor filtering, salt air conditioning packages, and classification society-compliant panel construction.
Generator load sharing, bus tie control, and blackout prevention systems for offshore platforms, maintaining frequency and voltage stability on isolated electrical grids through coordinated generation dispatch and automatic load shedding.
Custom-engineered onboard chemical monitoring systems for water quality control, compliance sampling, and process chemical management, serving ballast water treatment, cooling water chemistry, and produced water monitoring applications on FPSOs and offshore platforms.
Automated BOG compressor control, reliquefaction system management, and cargo containment monitoring for LNG carrier operations, integrating with class-approved cargo control room systems and meeting IGC Code requirements for safe LNG transport.
Automated ballast sequencing, bilge well monitoring, and pressure control for cargo vessels and offshore units, with interlocks for MARPOL compliance and interface to oil-water separators for overboard discharge monitoring.
Interface between gas turbine and compressor control systems and platform-level fire and gas detection networks, including turbine trip logic, ventilation interlock, and emergency shutdown coordination that satisfies classification society and offshore safety case requirements.
Speed governing, load management, and protective sequencing for main propulsion auxiliaries, diesel generator sets, and emergency generators, designed for the vibration environment and power quality requirements of marine electrical systems.
Synchronized open/close sequencing, position feedback, and weather-tight interlock systems for bulk carrier and cargo vessel hatch cover operations, with manual override and maintenance mode for safe deck operations.
Speed governing, load management, and protective sequencing for main propulsion auxiliaries, diesel generator sets, and emergency generators, designed for the vibration environment and power quality requirements of marine electrical systems.
We are a recognized technology leader in marine cargo automation. Our tanker loading and unloading systems provide automated flow control, manifold management, ullage monitoring, and overfill protection, with full integration to ship's cargo control room displays and custody transfer metering systems.
Our specialized pump bearing temperature monitoring systems provide real-time thermal protection for critical rotating equipment in marine service, with trend logging, alarm management, and automatic trip logic protecting pumps that cannot be manually inspected underway.

A MESSAGE FROM JOHN KAZOUR, CEO
To our customers and partners,
For more than 50 years, our team has helped customers keep critical operations running. We built our reputation as Petrotech by taking responsibility for control systems on important rotating machinery.
As more industries came to us with similar challenges across power generation, compression, and hydro applications, our engineering team kept finding ways to solve them. Eventually, the business outgrew the Petrotech name.
We are entering our next chapter as Innova Technologies. The new name reflects the full scope of our work as a rotating machinery control systems specialist. We engineer controls around the machine, deliver complete projects from design through commissioning, and provide support that stays with the problem until it is solved.
Our name is changing, but the people, engineering experience, and commitment behind the work continue. Our responsibility to active projects and installed systems carries forward under the Innova Technologies name. Your current contacts remain the right place to start, and we will communicate directly if an administrative record requires an update.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us over the decades, and we look forward to continuing that work as Innova Technologies.
CEO, Innova Technologies
