Single fuel valve conversions · dual-fuel conversions · fuel control logic integration
Modernize aging fuel delivery systems with precision electronic fuel metering integrated into your turbine control system. Whether as a standalone upgrade or part of a complete controls modernization, Innova Technologies delivers reliable fuel control solutions that improve performance, maintainability, and long-term system support.
Control
Innova Technologies modernizes industrial gas turbine fuel systems, replacing aging fuel valves and legacy fuel-control arrangements with modern, electronically controlled fuel metering and integrating it into the turbine control system. We supply the fuel control hardware, instrumentation, piping modifications, and control integration, as a standalone upgrade or as part of a complete controls modernization. (Innova does not supply fuel conditioning equipment.)
Fuel system modernization is one of the highest-value, lowest-disruption upgrades available for an aging industrial gas turbine. Innova Technologies designs and supplies the fuel control hardware, instrumentation, and piping modifications needed to replace obsolete fuel valve arrangements and integrate modern fuel control logic. These projects are delivered either as standalone fuel system upgrades or as part of a complete turbine control system modernization.
The Problem
Many industrial gas turbines continue to operate with aging mechanical and hydraulic fuel control systems that are becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. Legacy fuel valve arrangements, including two-valve configurations such as the GE Frame 5 Speed Ratio Valve (SRV) and Fuel Control Valve (FCV), can lead to higher maintenance costs, reduced parts availability, and increased downtime as components reach the end of their service life.
Many of these systems were originally designed for liquid fuel operation and require significant upgrades to support natural gas or dual-fuel operation. Older fuel control systems may also lack the precision fuel metering, reliable fuel transfer, and combustion control needed to meet today’s operational and emissions requirements.
Modern electronic fuel delivery systems improve fuel control accuracy, simplify maintenance, and provide the flexibility to support liquid fuel, natural gas, or dual-fuel operation from a single integrated control platform.
Capabilities
Replace legacy two-valve fuel control arrangements with a single modern, electronically controlled fuel metering valve, simplifying the fuel system while improving fuel control accuracy, reliability, maintainability, and long-term parts availability.
Design and integrate double block and bleed valve arrangements to satisfy current industry practices and customer requirements.
Design and supply the fuel valves, piping modifications, instrumentation, filters, and associated hardware required to modernize existing gas fuel systems.
Modify the existing turbine control system, or implement these functions as part of a complete controls upgrade, to support modern fuel valve hardware, sequencing, permissives, alarms, interlocks, and fuel transfer logic, while minimizing changes to the rest of the control system.
Convert liquid-fuel-only gas turbines to operate on natural gas or dual fuel, supplying the required piping, valves, instrumentation, nozzle modifications, control logic, sequencing, and commissioning.
Implement automatic and operator-selectable transfer between liquid and gas fuel, including mixed-fuel operation where supported by the turbine design.

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
