Improve plant profitability through better understanding of asset performance
The performance of equipment will deteriorate over time, resulting in lost efficiency, increased energy usage, and reduced throughput. Identification of the deviation from equipment design, combined with early detection, is vital to plant profitability.
Performance Advisor is an onsite, real-time application that calculates equipment performance using first principle models. It allows you to run your process more efficiently, track operating performance against targets, schedule maintenance activities, and determine the root cause of production asset inefficiencies.
Performance Advisor calculates thermodynamic-based equipment performance using first principles models. These models monitor for deviations from design parameters on your critical machinery, including turbines, compressors, boilers and other production assets.
Performance Advisor allows you to run your process more efficiently, track operating performance against targets, schedule maintenance activities, and determine the root cause of product asset inefficiencies.
Operations receive real-time feedback of equipment performance to influence control changes and help meet operating targets.
Maintenance experts can access in-depth diagnostics to understand degradation trends and status by correlating condition and performance data.
Process Engineers can identify potential instrument problems, pinpoint degradation sources and evaluation the effectiveness of cost improvement actions.
Management understands the financial impact of performance deviations.
The real-time information available from Performance Advisor helps you pinpoint opportunities for improvement that would otherwise go unnoticed. Differentiating features add value and knowledge to equipment operation:
Performance Advisor receives measurement input data from existing field instrumentation or from manually-entered values. Data can be connected to any manufacturer’s DCS or data historian.
Leverages Open Protocols: Data connectivity methods are based around industry-standard OPC and web services. Additionally, through the OSIsoft architecture, hundreds of unique connection protocols are available for data connectivity.
Availability of Data Values: Performance Advisor can support data that are entered several times per shift in addition to continuously measured data.
Pumps and Compressors
Monitors for efficiency and deviations from design specifications for Reciprocating and Centrifugal compressors and pumps
Gas and Steam Turbines
Monitors exhaust temperature profile, operations cost analysis, wash recommendations and generator reactive capability.
Boilers and HRSG
Provides condition monitoring, boiler efficiency, unit heat rates and Rankine cycle operations cost analysis.
Heater, Heat Exchangers and Cooling Towers
Provides condition monitoring for feed water heaters, deaerators condensers, chillers and cooling towers.
