Nitrogen compression systems are critical across energy operations-from inerting and purging to blanketing and maintenance support. However, system performance ultimately depends on one key factor: delivering nitrogen at the right pressure, consistently, across every stage of the process. For OEMs and operators designing or maintaining nitrogen generation and high-pressure compression packages, pressure switching is required at multiple control points. When these decisions are repeated throughout a system, small inefficiencies can quickly become costly. At Westech Industrial, we work with customers across Western Canada to simplify pressure switching strategies-helping reduce complexity, improve reliability, and support long-term performance. The Challenge: Pressure Control…
Clear condensate tank level indication-without climbing, guesswork, or “flashlight checks” Jerguson Magnicator Magnetic Level Indicator technology is often selected when facilities want level indication that’s easier to see, faster to verify, and safer to maintain. In this case study, an operator upgraded multiple condensate tanks by replacing hard-to-read tubular glass gauges with a magnetic level indicator-improving visibility and reducing the need for routine trips into the field. At a glance Application: Multiple condensate tanks requiring accurate, reliable level indication Challenge: Tubular glass gauges became difficult to read in low-light and from a distance Solution: Replace tubular glass with a Jerguson…

Modern industrial facilities rely on connected control systems to improve performance, enable diagnostics, and support predictive maintenance. But as control systems become more networked-using open operating systems, standardized communications, and remote connectivity-the attack surface expands right along with the benefits. The challenge is that many protective measures still depend on the very infrastructure that can be compromised. That’s why more organizations are revisiting a proven, practical concept: adding an independent safety layer that does not rely on software, networking, or communications to do its job. Connectivity Improves Operations-and Increases Exposure Distributed control systems (DCS) and SCADA environments increasingly use open…
Combat Corrosion with Real-Time Crude Monitoring In today’s refining industry, fluctuating feedstocks and opportunistic crudes are creating a perfect storm for corrosion, fouling, and costly maintenance. Traditional lab analysis can’t keep pace with these fast-changing conditions. That’s why Westech Industrial is proud to offer the Hobré C-Quand™ EDXRF analyzer, a game-changing solution for real-time elemental analysis that supports proactive decision-making and optimized refinery performance. The Problem: Rising Risks from Unmonitored Contaminants Refineries across Canada-from Alberta’s oil sands to Atlantic processing hubs-are increasingly turning to heavier, lower-quality crudes. These crudes carry elevated levels of salts, chlorides, and metals that, without…
