Process Control Systems · Dubai, UAE
Sigma Automation designs, builds and commissions distributed control systems, safety instrumented systems and metering solutions for refineries, chemical plants and oil and gas facilities — the full project cycle, from site survey to warranty support.
Services
We take responsibility for the whole scope of work needed to create an automated system — from the site survey and technical specification through to commissioning and putting the system into operation.
Automated control of continuous and batch processes, built on the platform that fits the facility rather than a distribution agreement.
Custody transfer and operational metering for gas, oil and petroleum products, delivered as packaged or modular units.
Engineering and technical means of protection for industrial sites, integrated into a single information environment.
Systems
The architecture is chosen from the process, not from habit. Picking the wrong class of system costs far more over the life of the plant than the difference in the initial licence fee.
PREFERRED WHEN
PREFERRED WHEN
Delivery
Every stage is a documented gate with a deliverable the client signs off. Nothing moves to site until it has been proven off site.
Facility inspection and a technical report on the systems already in place.
Requirements agreed and frozen before any engineering hours are spent.
Control philosophy, architecture, I/O lists and equipment selection.
Loop diagrams, panel layouts, cable and termination schedules.
Controller logic and operator graphics built against the functional specification.
Cabinet manufacture, equipment supply and incoming inspection.
Witnessed simulation of the complete system before it leaves the workshop.
On-site installation and installation supervision at the client facility.
Loop checks, live tuning, site acceptance test and operator training.
Warranty and post-warranty maintenance, diagnostics and modernisation.
Industries
Processes where uptime, repeatability and traceability decide the economics of the plant.
Process units, tank farms, product loading and off-site facilities.
Reactor units, batch processes, utilities and effluent treatment.
Treatment units, booster stations, well cluster telemetry and metering points.
Loading terminals, berths, storage and off-site infrastructure control.
Boiler unit control, balance of plant, gas regulating and fuel handling.
Pumping stations, treatment lines and remote site supervisory control.
Platforms
We work across the major international control platforms and select hardware on the merits of the application and the lifecycle cost to the client.
Our engineers keep their certification current through the training centers of the equipment and software manufacturers, so the platform decision is made on engineering grounds and stays the client property throughout the life of the system.
Proven control platforms, redundancy where the process requires it, and diagnostics that surface a fault before it stops production.
Interlock and shutdown logic engineered to the required safety integrity level and tested against the cause and effect matrix.
Architectures that absorb new units and new requirements without a rebuild, and configuration the client team can maintain.
Operator graphics and documentation that make the abnormal state obvious, so shift personnel act on information rather than on memory.
About
Sigma Automation L.L.C-FZ is an industrial automation company licensed in the Meydan Free Zone, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. We work with plant owners, EPC contractors and equipment manufacturers who need a control system partner that reads the P&IDs before quoting.
Our licensed activities cover the installation of industrial process control equipment, trading in measuring and control systems, and the design and planning of computer systems that integrate hardware, software and communication technologies. A single contract can therefore carry a project from specification through to a commissioned, supported plant.
System integration is not series production. Every system is engineered for one specific facility, which is why we invest in a library of reusable, reviewed control objects and still treat each project as a new engineering problem.
Dubai gives us a practical base for projects across the GCC, the wider Middle East, Central Asia and Africa.
