Performance Optimization in Process Compressors

Challenge

  • Unplanned downtimes lead to reactive and time-based maintenance which can be costly and inefficient

  • Difficult to quantify metrics that correlate to valve health

Solution

  • Use first principles to predict the efficiency and power in real-time

  • Develop ML model to predict the anomalies in real-time leading to sub-optimal operations

  • Email notifications for real-time deviations

  • Recommendations to close the loop for optimal operations

Result

  • 2-5% reduction in energy consumption

  • 45-50% Reduction in unplanned downtimes
