Put a CEO in your boiler plant that really earns its money.

 

The Boiler Plant Control and Energy Optimization Panel (CEO) from tekWorx takes charge of everything so your boiler plant operates at the lowest overall plant energy cost. The CEO's adaptive control scheme controls all pumps, valves and auxiliary equipment and coordinates sequence operations with the boilers' on-board controls. The result: automatic, continuous, on-line adjustments that lower your cost without operator intervention.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all "black box", the CEO is modular so it is individually configured for your specific plant. The CEO supports any boiler type, any auxiliary equipment and communication with any building automation system or network. 

 

 

This CEO gives you the real picture of what's going on. No CEO doublespeak, no tiny text displays with codes to decipher and no engineering degree required. CEO's built-in graphic display and touchscreen provide an easy-to-use,  password-protected window into the boiler plant that lets anyone monitor or troubleshoot operation with very little training. 

The CEO further improves your diagnostic capability through its built-in communication links with the leading control equipment such as flame safeguards from Honeywell©, Fireye© and AERCO© as well as Hays-Cleveland© draft controls. You get the full picture of your plant's health and performance to keep the plant running in top form.  

This CEO even works at home! tekWorx' Boiler Plant CEO provides remote access and control with a standard internet connection and a PC web browser. Maintenance people can see the exact same displays and take action from the next room or from home at 3:00 am. And if you need to tie in with your building management system, no problem. The CEO has built-in communication with any BMS, so interaction with other building operations like paging and security is handled automatically as well.

 

The CEO brings the same adaptive control techniques and rugged hardware at work in demanding industrial applications to your boiler plant. It continuously analyzes system parameters to determine the optimum equipment operating points to satisfy demand with the lowest energy consumption.
