Power Water industry, proven technology always by your side

POWER GENERATION - Thermal, Nuclear, Renewable

The Nuclear market has shaped our expertise, our commitment to quality and to the control of processes.

In the energy business, BERNARD CONTROLS has also been involved in Thermal energy for many years.

In thermal power plants, our actuators are installed for example in cooling towers or steam circuits.

But we also work on revamping projects, for instance in Tunçbilek - Turkey. Finally, we can found our products in hydro power plants too, for instance in Merowe - Sudan.

WATER - Drinking Water, Waste Water, Irrigation, Desalination

Our actuators are used on many types of water and industrial fluid applications:

• Drinking water plants (pumping stations, filtration...)
• Distribution (distribution network insulation valves, water towers, irrigation systems...)
• Desalination (by reverse osmosis, by distillation, associated power plant)
• Waste water (urban waste water treatment, industrial waste water treatment, pumping stations)

INDUSTRY - Building Automation, Industries, Civil Engineering, Shipbuilding

The INDUSTRY gathers many different sectors which offer the most diverse applications for our products.

For instance, in the car industry, BERNARD CONTROLS actuators are used in painting areas. In cement plants or paper mills, in ventilation systems to modulate air flows. Our products are also used in steel plants or glassworks...

In Building Automation/HVAC, our products mainly equip heating and ventilation systems. Such applications require quarter turn actuators (e.g. our LEA/LEB or OA/AS ranges). Our actuators also equip safety systems in rail- and road-tunnels.
