Upstream to downstream
Our services have been applied to a wide range of processes in both upstream and downstream activities. Providing the emergency shutdown of offshore platforms and vessels over satellite communications to the implementation of safety critical control systems managing heaters stabilising crude oil at an onshore oil terminal.

Our experience of working with global oil and gas and petrochemical operators means we are able to design and integrate complex systems, which are critical to the business.

Functional safety (IEC61508, IEC61511 and OLF070)
Having undertaken projects for international contractors operating on behalf of oil and gas exploration organisations across the globe, we have a proven ability to interpret and meet the demands of the various derivatives and standards relating to functional safety. Multi national operators are able to benefit from our working experience of the North American, European and Norwegian standards.

Remote information transfer
We can provide bespoke networks of controllers and data acquisition systems to collate, pre-process and format data prior to communicating the results over a serial link to a site wide DCS.


Harsh & hazardous environments
Charter Tech personnel are fully conversant with the strict requirements governing designated hazardous areas and the tough environmental conditions experienced in coastal and desert locations, where refineries are typically found. We employ a variety of protection methods to ensure that plant & personnel safety is never compromised.

End products & storage
Our understanding of post refining processes has resulted in our systems being used in a number of significant areas, such as the dosing of selective additives to petrol products at tanker loading stations, bitumen blending and sequence control of vapour recovery units. We have in depth operational knowledge of tank farms having designed and commissioned networked controllers to manage the distribution and storage of feedstock's, intermediary and finished product.
