SEEL Interview
Derek Walkom CET, Electrician, and the CEO of Select Electrical Enterprises LTD. (SEEL). had the opportunity to sit down with Drives and Control Solutions to talk WEG, automation, and a recent case showcasing how Select Electrical can offer your company a fully customized solution plan.
About Select Electrical
SEEL is an electrical and controls company that has primarily been involved in providing Variable Frequency Drives as part of custom solutions to the Upstream and Downstream Oil & Gas markets. However, with their substantial field and application experience developing and designing turnkey products, and experienced staff of electrical engineering techs and electricians they are currently expanding their product offerings in the HVAC, Water & Waste Water, Sawmill, Pulp & Paper, Cement and Agricultural industries.
We work closely with WEG VFDs and products and have noted that WEG products are reliable and cost-effective, and that the WEG supports its partners and stands behind their product.
What’s New?
Currently, Select Electrical is manufacturing turnkey solutions that are implementing the CFW11 with many different products such as PLC’s, pump-off controllers, PCP controllers, submersible pump controllers etc. We have developed different models of VFD packages for different applications, including our Gas Compressor Drive, Forced Air Combustion Drive, Automated Pump Drive, SE200 Oilwell Drive, SE200 Oilwell Pump Off Control Drive, and an Industrial Drive. We also have specific PLC programs built into the CFW11 for water supply applications and grain handling.
“We are always looking for new ways to explore and innovate. Recently, we integrated a new HMI from WEG with the CFW11, providing a unique product with numerous application potentials. The newly developed HMI integrated CFW11 will be applicable to all types of loads (primarily for pump jacks, PCP pumps, compressors, and fans) and will utilize the onboard PLC to develop specific software for each application.”
To further exemplify the Solution offerings presented by SEEL and WEG, we discussed a unique project that was recently completed for a Horizontal Pumping company. This company needed unique and portable pumping units for frac water transfers.
The Problem
There were several challenges facing the company who had considered a variety of options prior to SEEL, proposing their unitized skid solution utilizing the CFW-11 with customized control.
Aside from simply needing the ability to move large quantities of water, the company had several requirements, which like in any project were added throughout the build. First, the company was looking to eliminate an external controller like a PLC while also having several requirements based on control parameters such as recycle control for water recycle, low-pressure suction shutdown, high discharge pressure shutdown and vibration sensor shutdown.
The Solution
The CFW-11 from WEG presented an ideal platform for the solution. The CFW-11 is a flexible unit that allows for various control protocols, a critical component to an application that required mobility and varied working environments. Working closely with the company, our team was able to utilize the CFW-11 with the WLP program to meet the all needs of their client in a compact but powerful unitized skid. The units are 480V 600HP and are being used in operation throughout BC, Alberta, and Texas.
