Control Systems for Critical Energy Infrastructure.

Porritt Inc. helps refineries, chemical plants, and other energy facilities run safely and stay compliant. We offer process safety management (PSM) consulting, OSHA 1910.119 and RAGAGEP compliance reviews, and operator and mechanic training. We also build our own software and the control hardware that runs the balance of plant at refineries, power plants, LNG and hydrogen plants, carbon capture units, large ships, and future fusion plants. The company is based in Layton, Utah.

Balance of plant is everything in a power or process plant except the heat source itself: pumps, coolant loops, heat exchangers, turbines and generators, cryogenics, vacuum systems, electrical gear, and the control system that ties them together. It makes up roughly 80% of a plant, and it is where most trips and outages begin.

Plasma is the fourth state of matter after solid, liquid, and gas. It is what fusion reactors run on. The plasma era is our shorthand for the coming generation of fusion-powered plants. Our control architecture is fission first, fusion ready: it runs on today's heat sources and is built to carry over when fusion heat arrives.

Neuromorphic chips work more like a nervous system than a normal processor. They react to events as they happen instead of polling sensors on a fixed clock, so they respond in microseconds while drawing milliwatts of power. Porritt Inc. uses them for fast safety functions, edge threat detection, and hypersonic early warning.

Three product families: NEXUS for engineering design, NORMEX compliance AI for process safety and regulatory work, and Plant Intelligence for day-to-day operations. Together that is more than twenty applications, all built in-house.

Porritt Learning is our workforce development product: AI tutors grounded in course and facility source material, learning paths, technical certifications and enterprise training for fusion energy, nuclear engineering, process safety, industrial controls and Cyber-Informed Engineering.

Process Safety Management (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119) is the federal standard for preventing catastrophic releases of highly hazardous chemicals at refineries and chemical plants. It requires 14 elements including process safety information, process hazard analysis, mechanical integrity, management of change, and compliance audits. Porritt Inc. provides PSM consulting, audits, and the NORMEX software that answers PSM questions from the standard itself.

RAGAGEP stands for Recognized and Generally Accepted Good Engineering Practices — the codes and standards (API, ASME, NFPA, and others) that OSHA expects a facility to follow for equipment design, inspection, and testing under PSM mechanical-integrity requirements. NORMEX Standards AI maps your equipment and procedures to the applicable RAGAGEP.

NORMEX Standards AI answers natural-language compliance questions by retrieving and citing the actual text of the governing standards and regulations rather than guessing. NORMEX PSM Predict scores a facility's PSM program element by element to find gaps before an auditor does. Both run in the browser on Windows and are built in-house by Porritt Inc.

The heat source is a small fraction of a power plant by equipment count, piping, cable, and capital. Heat transport, power conversion, fuel cycle, cryogenics, vacuum, switchyard, and the control system make up most of the engineering, procurement, and operating risk. That 80% is what Porritt Inc. designs, instruments, and controls.

Cyber-Informed Engineering (CIE) is a consequence-driven engineering framework developed by Idaho National Laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy. It asks engineers to design industrial systems so that critical functions remain available during equipment failures, cyber events, network outages, and operational disruptions, using engineered limits and non-digital backstops rather than relying on IT security alone. Porritt Inc. applies CIE principles to its control-system and balance-of-plant designs.
