Facing market challenges with innovation and passion

Upstream

We provide application-specific solutions for onshore production systems with a focus on process safety. Whether through developing safe and efficient production processes or providing reliable process monitoring and secure data transmission, our solutions provide the maximum level of automation for any production system.

Midstream

Monitoring solutions are vital to keeping midstream productions running smoothly and efficiently. Therefore, reliable communication and wireless technology are essential to monitoring and accessing remote systems. We support our customers by providing reliable and secure monitoring solutions, including fill-level measurement, overflow protection, and utilization checks.

Downstream

It is imperative that complex processes function reliably when operating downstream applications. Weidmüller offers application-specific enclosure solutions with explosion protection to ensure all processes and components function safely and reliably throughout the downstream process.

Offshore

Offshore systems often experience extreme environmental conditions. Extensive, highly complex systems need to function reliably and economically in harsh environments. We provide robust hardware and software to meet these demands, as well as monitoring solutions so production processes are never interrupted.

Transportation

Due to the complexity and nature of transporting fuels, it’s important to have automated and digitalized solutions in place that can ensure superior performance in monitoring systems and devices to meet the highest industry standards.

Storage

Tank farms are a collection of tanks which store crude oil and petroleum products. Due to the number and size of tanks, as well as the geographical covered area, it is crucial to have robust monitoring solutions for gauges, levels and valves as well as robust and reliable overflow systems.

Product highlights for Oil & Gas

PROtop - the high-end power supply

Superior, future-proof, and sustainable: The high-end power supply for the highest demands of Industry 4.0

A permanent supply in any environment: 24/7 installations require a particularly reliable power supply that can withstand harsh environmental conditions. Condition monitoring for targeted, preventive maintenance is therefore becoming increasingly important. PROtop combines highest efficiency and compact housings with high durability and direct parallel connection, without diode modules.

This reduces costs and creates space in the control cabinet. Due to the powerful DCL technology, even difficult loads - motors, for instance - are operated smoothly, while circuit breakers are triggered reliably. This excellent communication capability allows permanent condition monitoring and full integration with control systems.

PROtop - the high-end power supply
Your special advantages
  • Safe triggering of circuit breakers due to DCL
  • High energy reserves for powerful engine starts due to DCL
  • Highest efficiency and very long lifetime
  • Extremely space-saving design
  • Integrated O-Ring MOSFETs for redundancy or parallel operation
  • Future-proof due to optional communication modules

Klippon® Protect enclosure systems

Safely control processes in hazardous environments

Enclosures fulfil an important safety function and prove their worth every day, even under the toughest of conditions. All industries have their own specific requirements in terms of enclosure technology - from machine construction to transport, energy engineering, and process industry. At the same time, the enclosures must meet strict requirements with respect to necessary international approvals.

We provide certified enclosures for assured protection. Our Klippon® Protect enclosure system covers all approvals required for use in industrial and explosive risk zones. It is also flexible enough to allow an optimum adaptation to your requirements. Individual services round off our range to provide you with optimized process support.
