Custom Control Solutions Built for Critical Infrastructure
We design and build custom control systems for municipal water, wastewater, and industrial plants. Our control panels and instrumentation ensure pumps, tanks, and disinfection equipment run safely.
Level and Flow Management
Control panels and instruments that track tank and reservoir levels and manage flows for stable, efficient operation.
Disinfection and Chemical Feed
Automated chlorine and chemical feed control with residual monitoring to keep treatment safe and within permit limits.
Pump Controls
Lead and lag selection, VFD support, and protection features that improve pump reliability and energy use.
Control Systems That Keep Your Plant Running
Many facilities still rely on old panels and mixed controls that only a few people fully understand. That uncertainty makes basic changes feel risky and turns small faults into downtime or off spec treatment.
Custom control solutions from Control Associates are designed around your process, equipment, and staff. We provide documented panels, clear operator interfaces, and alarms that match how operators work.
The Control Challenge
Patchwork controls and aging panels create daily headaches for operators and maintenance teams.
- Legacy panels with missing drawings so no one is sure what each switch or light actually does.
- Pumps and valves started by hand instead of coordinated control, causing surges, noise, or overflow risk.
- Chemical feed set by trial and error rather than clear control tied to real residual readings.
Why Plants Trust Control Associates:
Fifty plus years in compliance monitoring
Designing and supporting systems that stay accurate and ready for inspection.
Thirty year average client relationship
Clients stay because their systems stay calibrated and documented as permits change.
Three hundred facilities under support
Municipal sites and industries relying on our telemetry, reporting, and support to stay compliant.
How We Design Your Control System
Every project starts with your process, equipment, and staff. We review your existing panels and signals, then design new control panels and integrations that support how the plant runs.
