Engineered Systems & Valve Automation

Engineered Systems

CEA engineers collaborate with end users and consulting firms to develop premium automation systems. These systems are designed using components from world-class manufacturers and are built at our Edmonton facility.

As an APEGA permit holder, CEA upholds the highest standards in engineering, safety, quality, and professionalism.

Pneumatic Control Panels

Pneumatic control panels are installed on or near valves such as knife gate, ball, plug, and butterfly types. They also support factory automation, especially in batch processes using pneumatic cylinders and clamps to move and secure products.

CEA partners with customers to define requirements and design tailored solutions for various industrial settings. With a trusted network of vendors and partners, we deliver fully assembled, tested systems ready for integration.

Process Valve Automation

Process valve automation starts with an actuator, such as linear, spring return, scotch yoke, or rack and pinion, powered by pneumatic or hydraulic systems. A control device then regulates pressure and flow to the actuator, with complexity varying by valve size, pressure, and function.

Systems can be designed for functions like fail open, fail close, fail last (with lock or drift), partial stroke testing, and two-speed closure. Advanced setups may include electropneumatic positioners. For harsh environments, especially cold climates, components rated for low temps are essential.

Air Compressor
Skid Packages

When facility expansion or increased production demands more compressed air, space limitations or high modification costs may prevent on-site equipment installation. In these cases, a complete, self-contained air compression skid is a practical solution, requiring only a power connection and delivering compressed air through a single line.
‍
Each skid includes a full system: compressor, filtration, air receivers, dryers, and other components needed to meet operational, safety, and environmental standards.

Regenerative
Dryer Assemblies

CEA has developed a line of regenerative dryers specifically engineered and tested to endure Canada’s unique temperatures and environmental conditions. These dryers feature enhanced safeguards and user-friendly designs, making them easy to operate and maintain. They are ideally suited for rental applications and harsh outdoor climates.

Our team of pneumatic and hydraulic experts are passionate about what we do. There’s no limit to the level of complexity or technology we can incorporate into our designs.

Instrument Purge
Gas Systems

Process instruments such as TDLS analyzers and gas chromatographs often require continuous or timed purging with industrial gases like air, nitrogen, or argon. This gas flow is managed by a custom-designed purge gas panel, tailored to meet specific requirements including gas type, pressure, flow rate, and purge cycles.

At CEA, we design, build, and rigorously test each panel to ensure reliable performance in the field.
