Engine and compressor control systems have been the focus of Basic Systems' Automation Group since the early '80s. Whether it is a part of a larger facility-related project or a stand-alone retrofit, Basic Systems has been there. We speak the language of BHP, fuel flow, torque, ... We also understand the importance of conforming to our customer's methods and preferences. Yard valve control, compressor unloading, gas measurement, PLC code modifications, HMI screen development, I&E design and custom panel fabrication are all facets of Basic's experience and commitment to the the natural gas industry. Our focus on the natural gas industry is our strength.

"MichCon has a 10+ year history with Basic Systems and engine/compressor automation. Each automation project that Basic has participated in has been completed successfully with minimal problems. So when it came time to select an automation Vendor to provide engine & compressor controls for the largest units in the MichCon fleet (10,000HP Z-330) the first choice was Basic Systems."
