Process Industries

The process industries — chemical and petrochemical, refining, oil and gas, water and wastewater, pharmaceuticals, and mining — run continuously, where uptime, safety, and precise control are non-negotiable. A single unplanned shutdown can ripple across an entire plant, so the instruments and controls that keep those processes stable have to be dependable.

For more than 36 years, Gross Automation has helped process facilities specify and source the measurement, control, and hazardous-area equipment their operations depend on. From the sensor in the field to the controller in the panel, we bring the product breadth and application expertise to keep your process running safely and efficiently.

Many process environments demand equipment rated for corrosive, wet, or explosive atmospheres. We specialize in matching the right enclosure ratings, intrinsic-safety barriers, and explosion-proof components to your area classification — so compliance and reliability are built in from the start.

Process Measurement & Instrumentation

Accurate, repeatable measurement is the foundation of process control. We supply the transmitters, sensors, and signal-handling devices that turn field conditions into reliable data for your control system.
