A.B.L.E. Company provides complete CAD-based design and engineering solutions to major government, corporate and institutional clients in the following areas:

 - Coordinating watertube and firetube boiler installations and upgrades, along with related support systems including deaerators, economisers and additional heat recovery equipment.

 - Designing and evaluating custody transfer fuel metering and leak detection systems to meet federal and state regulations.

 - Developing combustion, burner management and process control logic designs that meet or exceed ANSI, IEEE, ISA and NFPA standards.

 - Providing full system and network integration with other site utilities including HVAC, chilled water and power cogeneration operations.

 - Conducting general engineering studies on site operating efficiencies, equipment cost-benefit analysis and safety-related (e.g., NFPA compliance) issues; a licensed CT state Professional Engineer is on staff.

 - Developing federal and state regulatory compliance programs designed to meet current safety and environmental protection laws.

 - Developing operation & maintenance procedures and manuals; generating site engineering documentation and drawings; and conducting formal operator training programs. 

All documentation and drawings can be provided in both printed and electronic formats - including AutoCad, Microsoft Word, and any other client requested format.


CAD-generated designControl Panels, Cabinets and Instrumentation Racks


As a respected control panel manufacturer, A.B.L.E. Company has developed a reputation for high quality, reliable control panel design and construction. For your next project, we can provide:

 Complete design and fabrication of: 

 - stand alone or wall-mounted cabinets. 

 - insert panels.

 - modular instrumentation racks. 

- Software configuration and programming for all popular microprocessor-based controllers, PLC’s and instrumentation.

- State-of-the-art I/O signal isolation and shielding; complete power line conditioning; computer network interfacing; and the highest quality in control circuit layout and wiring.

- Industrial-hardened components from well recognized process automation vendors for long term reliability - a distinct improvement over less robust, HVAC grade components.

On any project, A.B.L.E. Company will provide complete QC testing, calibration and startup services for all components and control panels, and as required by our clients, full engineering documentation including O&M manuals, control logic diagrams and electrical circuit drawings.

To meet all your needs, A.B.L.E. Company can draw on its significant design, fabrication and configuration experience with burner management and flame safety systems. We currently supply:

 - Pre-programmed microprocessor (Honeywell or Fireye type) and programmable logic controller (PLC) based burner management and flame safety systems.

Systems suitable for: 

 - single or multiple burner applications.

 - single or multiple boiler installations.

 - lead-lag and feed forward start up control strategies.

 - Complete CAD-based motor starter, trip protection and safety interlock control logic designs.

 - Stand alone cabinets and insert panel upgrade packages.

 - Solid-state electronic conversions for older vacuum tube based flame safety systems.

 - NFPA compliant fuel oil and natural gas safety shut off valves and controls.

 - Natural gas and bottled, or tanked, propane gas light off systems.

To be sure that all safety requirements are met, A.B.L.E. Company will only produce systems that fully meet all current regulatory and NFPA standards for the safe operation of steam and hot water generation plants.

A.B.L.E. Company is a well recognized leader in providing cost effective combustion control solutions at the following levels:

  1. Fully-metered, cross-limited systems with oxygen (i.e., excess air) trim for the ultimate level of control accuracy and optimum boiler efficiency.
  2. Parallel-positioned, cross-limited systems with oxygen trim for improved boiler efficiency at a moderate cost.
  3. Single point, jackshaft-type positioning systems to meet tight capital expenditure requirements on smaller steam and hot water generators.

In addition, A.B.L.E. Company has had extensive design and field experience with all of the leading microprocessor-based single loop, multiple loop and programmable logic (PLC) controllers available on the market including: 

 - Allen-Bradley

 - Fisher-Rosemount

 - Modicon/SquareD/Schneider

 - Siemens/Moore Products

 - Preferred Utilities

 - Westinghouse

 - Yokogawa.

Our combustion control design solutions range from simple, single point controlsas mentioned aboveto fully-metered, PLC-based, distributed control networks with state-of-the-art TFT or CRT flat panel human-to-machine interfaces (HMI) and keypad or touch screen inputs.


Combustion Testing, Maintenance and Repair Services
 

For over 30 years, A.B.L.E. Company has been recognized for its excellence in providing field testing, maintenance and repair services to many high profile government, corporate and institutional accounts in the Northeast. Our service engineers utilize state-of-the-art testing equipment and can provide your facility with:

 - Cost effective annual service contracts for boiler control system maintenance, troubleshooting, safety testing and efficiency improvements.

 - Testing and reporting for state environmental compliance.

 - Complete ASME standard boiler efficiency and optimization reports.

 - 24-hour emergency services.

 - Full instrumentation repair and calibration services.

 - A one stop parts source, even for systems that may be decades old. If a part is still available, we probably can locate it.
