Propane Control systems: Pre-Engineered Safety and Automation for Terminals

Fully integrated, explosion-proof control systems for oil and gas facilities.

Northridge provides pre-assembled, fully integrated NGL and propane control assemblies that simplify terminal automation, improve safety, and ensure full compliance with industry regulations. Our systems are designed for hazardous environments, offering seamless integration with pumps, compressors, metering skids, and emergency shutdown systems.

With over 25 years of experience in oil and gas terminal automation, we provide:

Turnkey, pre-certified control assemblies ready for field installation.
UL508 / CSA 22-2 286 explosion-proof control enclosures.
Automated emergency shutdown systems for faster safety response.
Integrated PLC controls for pumps, compressors, and fuel transfer systems.
Faster installation with pre-engineered, fully tested components.

Why Standard Control Systems Are Not Enough

Old-school systems rely on independent manual valves, pumps, emergency stops, and warning devices. This creates major safety and efficiency risks:

Delayed Emergency Response – Multiple steps may be required for a full shutdown.
Increased Operator Error – Manual valves can be left open by accident.
Equipment-Damage Risks – Non-integrated systems lack cross-protection, leading to failures.
Lack of Visibility – No fault logging, alarm tracking, or remote monitoring for accountability.
No Remote Access – Operators must be on site to check levels, troubleshoot, or respond to alerts.

With Northridge’s pre-engineered explosion-proof PLC control assemblies, these risks are eliminated.

A Smarter Approach to PLC Controls for NGL and Propane Facilities

Northridge’s certified explosion-proof PLC control systems allow NGL and propane facilities to operate as one unified system—ensuring seamless automation, remote monitoring, and regulatory compliance.

Turnkey Design & Pre-Fabrication

Controls are assembled, tested, and certified before deployment, reducing errors and installation time.

Rapid Deployment

Unlike the 25–50-week procurement industry norm, Northridge ships in 30 days or less with deep inventory support.

Plug-and-Play Installation

Local installers “connect the dots” without needing advanced technical expertise.

Pre-Certified for Compliance

Built to UL and CSA standards, reducing inspection time and improving safety.

Integrated Facility Operations

Systems communicate with each other, eliminating manual intervention and operator mistakes.
