SPL Control

What SPL Control does

SPL Control Inc. is a privately held Canadian engineering and manufacturing firm incorporated in Ontario in 1976, headquartered in Brantford with 250,000 square feet of manufacturing capacity on a 20-acre site. The company designs, manufactures, and supplies custom-engineered acoustic packages for industrial gas turbines, including exhaust systems, silencers and baffles, expansion joints, ducting, air intake systems, enclosure systems, vent and blowdown silencers, and filter houses, plus assessment, repair, and refurbishment services for aging equipment. Its underlying technology combines proprietary in-house acoustical prediction techniques and custom acoustic design software with state-of-the-art digital process pipe flow simulation, supported by a legacy project file database dating to 1976 that enables exact-spec refurbishment of older installations. The company operates a direct enterprise field-sales motion targeting oil and gas operators, power generation companies, gas turbine OEMs (Rolls-Royce, GE, Siemens), and owners' engineers, delivering bespoke quote-based projects from site assessment through installation and commissioning for clients such as Siemens, TC Energy, Shell, TransCanada, Petronas, GAIL India, Hibernia, and Rolls-Royce Energy across North America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. SPL Control is ISO 9001:2015 certified (annually audited by SGS North America since 2018) and holds an APEGA Permit to Practice, and acquired ENtec Solutions' brand, intellectual property, and key employees in November 2021 to extend its engineering capability into larger 4MW–300MW+ applications.
