Condition Monitoring & Diagnostics

CONDITION MONITORING & DIAGNOSTICS

Reciprocating compressors are vital for production processes in the oil & gas, petrochemical and chemical industries. They must operate 365 days per year without interruption, and must maintain a high degree of efficiency. Accidental breakdowns frequently have serious consequences, such as risks for plant safety and environmental damage, production loss, even expensive consequential damages, etc.

Using a qualified system for online condition monitoring will help prevent machine breakdowns and consequential damage.

 

Additionally, it is the best foundation for:

  • maximizing reliability
  • efficiency improvement
  • expansion of the meantime between overhaul
  • a successful predictive maintenance strategy
