Kinder Morgan – Markham Compressor Station
Location: Markham, Texas
Matrix PDM provided design, programming, simulation, and commissioning for a new compressor station in Markham, Texas.
Matrix PDM provided a station control system that can automatically transition between each of the operational modes without operator intervention. Valves would cycle and compression would start or stop as needed. The station control system included discharge and suction pressure setpoint control; communication with a remote SCADA system; automatic unmanned control per commands from the SCADA system; high discharge pressure and temperature override control; low suction pressure override control; line break detection; valve failure detection; and abnormal unit shutdown detection.
