Because Errors Are Not An Option

Renewable Fuels, Oil & Gas Projects

Mistakes don’t end well in the industries for renewable fuels and oil and gas. Which is why the companies that operate here turn to Knobelsdorff. Safety and seamless function are paramount, so our engineers, project managers and tradesmen are all trained and seasoned for these critical builds. We’ve designed and implemented complete electrical controls systems for refineries, ethanol and biodiesel plants, compressor stations, truck load-out racks, tank farms, transfer and pumping stations, or other facilities within these industries.

Refinery, ethanol plant, pumping station or something else, we leave no room for error

When one thinks of oil and gas, the first things that may come to mind are pipelines and refineries. We’ve worked with these operations. But we’ve also worked with an asphalt shingle recovery plant, chemical facilities that serve this industry and many more.
