Comenco

Why hire COM.EN.CO. for your Project:

The end of baby boomer generation has forced all major player of Oil & Gas and Power Generation to introduce detailed procedures to support the new generations of technicians. Unfortunately, procedures describe only the nice side of the story. The unthinkable happens and there is no substitute to experience.
If this is true in a green field project, in a revamping or modification of an existing plant this is a everyday experience.
A revamping is where the old world that run on experience and zero procedures clashes with the new world of procedures and zero experience.
Revamping is where COM.EN.CO. makes the difference:
injecting expertise, supporting the field engineer with advanced Virtual Reality technology, providing the engineering activities that bridge new and old technology, plant and equipment, theory and practice, for the success of the project and all its parties.
This is the lesson of Carmine Di Biasi, our Founder.

Compatible Maintenance Kits

Routine inspection and maintenance activities are often priced disproportionately to the market value of the consumables and minor spare parts.

CO.MEN.CO. has developed standard maintenance kits that are fully compatible with OEM's parts, offering the operator the same peace of mind of original parts, at a fair price.

The kit focuses on some of the most common gas turbine installations, like the ones of IPP Independent Power Producers and Industrial CHP Combined Heat and Power or CC Combined Cycle applications.
Reach out our customer service to see if your equipment can take advantage of our kits.

Knowledgeable Systems Debuggers

Plant upgrades, retrofitting, revamping or modifications, often generate no-body's lands at the interface of BOP and equipment.
OEMs decline responsibility outside strict battery limits for reason of warranty, priority or costs.

COM.EN.CO. has a reputation of debugging firefighting systems and equipment control systems that shall be made again capable to operate the plant safely and effectively.
Our engineers provide detailed analyzes of existing systems and identify the most suitable optimization or diagnostic solutions for the control system's upgrading of:

• Industrial Plants
• Compressor Sets
• Power Generation Sets
• Relevant Auxiliary Systems & Drivers
• Turbine Control System
• PLC / DCSv • Generator Protection System
• Compressor Antisurge Control
• Firefighting systems

We take full responsibility for the design, construction, installation, commissioning and start-up of Human Machine Interfaces, Distributed Control Systems, Emergency Shutdown Systems and Fire and Gas Systems (HMIs, DCS, ESD AND F&G SYSTEMS).

Trustable Third Party Advisors

Things may happen to be not fully in line with the OEMs fair tale story.

COM.EN.CO. is able to identify, solve and explain situations that require a hands-on system expertise, that OEMs may not be interested to anticipate during bidding phase.

For this reason, COM.EN.CO. has been selected as trustworthy Technical Advisor of end users and Third-Party Advisor by  National Courts, whenever a contractual litigation or dispute arise.

Comprehensive Plant operators

Small Independent Power Producer and Industrial CHP Owners may find it difficult to get a personalized user experience from their equipment OEM.
On the other hand, some of the latest small industrial gas turbines may require a specialized hand to be operated at their full potential.

COM.EN.CO. can take full operations responsibility on behalf of the plant owner, who can thus concentrate its focus on the core business.
