Control

Complete measurement upgrades, tailored to the machine

Innova Technologies provides complete exhaust temperature measurement upgrades, replacing aging thermocouples and wiring.

 

Our engineers design and install complete measurement systems, including custom thermowells, heat shields, specialized mounting hardware, wiring, and turbine control system integration. Every installation is tailored to the specific turbine configuration and operating environment.

Specificity

The value is in the algorithm, not just the hardware

Beyond the hardware, our expertise lies in our knowledge of the gas turbine and how this temperature is used for control and protection. Designed using OEM documentation, industry standards, and decades of field experience, Innova Technologies’ exhaust gas temperature algorithms include thermocouple selection, averaging, failed sensor rejection, high spread detection, temperature deviation monitoring, alarming, and protective shutdown logic.

 

Our algorithms incorporate OEM-dictated compensation methods, dynamic operating limits, and decades of field experience gained from modernizing gas turbines from virtually every major manufacturer.

Redundancy

Independent Critical Function Redundancy (CFR)

For applications requiring an additional layer of protection, Innova Technologies can provide independent Critical Function Redundancy (CFR) assemblies.

 

These dedicated systems continuously monitor exhaust temperatures independently of the primary control system and provide an independent turbine trip for one of the machine’s most critical protection functions.

A MESSAGE FROM JOHN KAZOUR, CEO

Welcome to Innova Technologies

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.

John Kazour

CEO, Innova Technologies
