Kinitics Automation, a leader in advanced motion control solutions, announced the successful field demonstration of the KVA38 at a remote natural gas wellsite owned by Tourmaline Oil Corp. This milestone underscores Kinitics’ commitment to providing innovative and reliable solutions tailored to the demanding conditions of the energy sector.
Under the NGIF Emissions Testing Centre (ETC) Program, the KVA38 actuator underwent field testing at a remote natural gas wellsite near Edson, Alberta, owned by Tourmaline Oil Corp. Three actuators were deployed to control critical dump and backpressure valves within a multi-phase separator system. During the trial, the actuators achieved over 10,000 cycles across 160 days of continuous operation. This validation demonstrates the KVA38’s reliability and suitability for large-scale deployment in natural gas production facilities.
