Recent Projects Performed by Nelson Technologies
Largest Steel Span BuildingOn 6/14/2021 Nelson Technologies and Steel Span installed the largest steel building in years. This 20'W x 50'L x 11'H building had to be shipped in two pieces and required a police escort.
This is a unique building not just due to the large size. It also has a faux brick finish which was required by the city which it was installed and has an I beam support inside to hold a lifting hoist for maintenance of the equipment it houses. Did I forget to mention, it also looks really nice as well! |

Gray's Lake Pipeline Interconnect StationNelson Technologies and Baker Hughes have successfully completed the production and shipment of pipeline distribution valves to North Shore Gas for the Grayslake pipeline interconnect station with Kinder Morgan pipeline, including critical worker, monitor and blending valves. The Grayslake station is responsible for a majority of the gas serving northeastern corridor of Illinois, and requires a high, 300:1 rangeability to meet peak season demand, as well as reduced capacity for low flow months. For this complex application, Baker Hughes supplied the patented, below ground Becker T2, low-noise control valves, to increase control range, reduce noise and minimize station footprint. The higher capacity buried T0 control valves provided minimal pressure drop for the water bath heater blending applications.In addition, the control valve included the low-friction Becker technology that results in less wear against the stem seal, along with instrumentation incorporating the Becker zero-bleed Digital Natural Gas Positioners (DNGP), which both will yield benefits to the environment through reduced atmospheric pipeline emission

New Eagle Research MP Plus 2 for Daily Usage MonitoringNelson Technologies is currently installing the New Eagle Research MP Plus 2 at large industrial sites to help monitor the customers daily usage. These accumulators use low power and have an onboard cellular modem to call in the usage every hour. The solar units are communicating this information using only a 10-watt solar panel and a small battery.
By monitoring the daily usage an industrial customer can avoid any large costs for going over the daily gas usage agreed to on their contracts with a gas provider. Saving enough to pay for the units in a year or less. |

Mooney FlowMax and Slam Shut on Grain DryerLast year we had numerous Grain Dryer applications with our customers across the Mid West. The pictures on the left are from a new Grain Dryer in South Dakota.
This customer used a Mooney Flowmax Regulator for its high capacity at low differentials to meet the demands of the Grain Dryer. For over-pressure protection this customer chose a Stand Alone Mooney Slam Shut valve. A Slam Shut is used to prevent having a relief valve blowing gas near a grain dryer that is operated by a large burner. |
Bleed Gas to fuel Catalytic HeaterThis project was an installation of the Becker Bleed to Catalytic system. This particular customer has Becker control valves, and the Becker bleed to catalytic systems takes the actuation bleed gas and uses it to feed the catalytic pilot preheaters.

Delta Ball Valve Retrofit to include Bettis ActuatorsIn this project a customer installed Delta Trunnion Mounted Ball Valves from QuarterTurn Resources. The customer later wanted to add an actuator to the valves so QuarterTurn Retrofitted the valves with Bettis actuators.

Becker Digital Natural Gas Positioner RetrofitThis project was a Becker Precision Equipment retrofit to an existing buried control valve. We replaced the actuation cylinder and pneumatic instrumentation with a new cylinder and the Becker DNGP digital positioner.
