As we developed the Geo-Engine, we identified the need for advanced control and monitoring systems. These are essential to managing performance in extreme conditions, ensuring reliability, and safeguarding operations. To meet this challenge, we partnered with PSW Integrity. Their expertise in reliability engineering and bespoke system design added valuable insight that strengthened the foundation of the Geo-Engine.
“PSW Integrity brought real expertise and rigour to this project. Their contribution strengthened the control and monitoring foundation of the Geo-Engine and added valuable insight to our development journey.”
— Julian Parker, Geo-Engines
Engineering for extreme conditions
The Geo-Engine is designed to operate at pressures of up to 200 bar, with variable gas compositions and challenging offshore environments. Commercially available systems were not suited to these demands, and the absence of a dedicated high-pressure test facility added further complexity. Developing a control and monitoring system for this application required a tailored approach, supported by a strong engineering framework.
Bringing specialist expertise
PSW Integrity applied a structured, reliability-led approach throughout the project. Together we:
- Designed sensors and control systems tailored to the Geo-Engine application
- Applied advanced methodologies such as Reliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM), Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA / FMECA)
- Drew on industry insight into complex systems engineering
- Worked in an open and collaborative way across both teams
Strengthening the technology
Our collaboration delivered:
- A bespoke control and monitoring system to support high-pressure operation
- A robust engineering framework to manage reliability and risk
- Shared learning that will inform future developments
- A partnership model that reflects the importance of collaboration in driving innovation
“Working with the Geo-Engines team was a great example of how collaboration can drive innovation. Developing a bespoke control and monitoring system for such a challenging application required a strong partnership and a shared commitment to engineering excellence.”
— Ron McKay, Reliability Managing Director, PSW Integrity Ltd.
Working with PSW Integrity helped us advance the control and monitoring foundation of the Geo-Engine. By combining reliability expertise with innovation, we are building systems that perform under the toughest conditions and support the global energy transition.
