Exception Based Surveillance for major surface equipment
Project Description
Pumps, Compressors, Tanks and Separators are being monitored by exception in a standardized way so that asset health can be measured.
Exceptions are been generated if excursions to the operating envelopes are detected in terms of equipment throughput, controller health and sub system health.
Achieved Business Benefits
100% of exceptions to EBS limits are detected and logged.
Time saving for Process Engineers, Rotating Engineers, Condition Monitoring and Field Teams in monitoring and detecting alerts.
Proactive identification of potential problems resulting in fewer DCS alarms and trips, therefore reducing deferment.
Optimising process conditions leading to a more stable process and reduced likelihood of process upsets.
Actions to close out alerts are tracked to closure.
100% of equipment history are available for learning
