Honeywell Turbo Suite for oil and gas industry
Posted: 13 August 2003
Integrated Monitoring Software Suite maximises turbo machinery
availability, performance and profitability
Industry Solutions today introduced Turbo Suite, an integrated
suite of monitoring, optimisation and decision-support software
for turbo machinery.
The software helps maximise availability and performance of turbo
machinery assets vital to offshore platforms, floating production
system operations, and liquefied natural gas plants. In these settings,
turbo machinery must be operated efficiently and maintained effectively
to maximise oil production and meet daily targets.
The software suite improves turbo machinery operation and performance
by providing users with benefits such as more-efficient operation,
reduced fuel consumption, reduced emissions, increased production,
lower life-cycle maintenance costs and improved machinery availability.
Turbo Suite goes beyond traditional turbo machinery performance
and condition monitoring.
To pinpoint sources of performance degradation and enable proactive
maintenance, the Honeywell solution uses rigorous gas turbine, compressor
and pump modeling to compare actual performance against expected
performance.
In addition, combustion diagnostics and life-usage monitoring assist
in determining when to carry out maintenance actions.
Turbo Suite architecture is flexible enough to support data from
a variety of sources, including Honeywell's Uniformance PHD and
OPC data sources. This flexibility allows data input from sources
such as condition and vibration monitoring systems. As a result,
Turbo Suite functions as a centralised data repository for all turbo
machinery monitoring applications.
Turbo Suite is also fully integrated with Alert Manager PKS, Honeywell's
asset-health monitoring and decision support software. Alert Manager
diagnoses turbo machinery faults to help identify appropriate maintenance
actions. When the system detects a fault, Alert Manager automatically
sends an e-mail or pager notification to the appropriate administrator
to initiate review and remedial action.
"Turbo Suite significantly extends our equipment monitoring
capabilities for turbo machinery," said Marc Duvall, Honeywell
Industry Solutions Vice President and General Manager of Energy.
"It gives our customers the ability to keep their vital turbo
equipment operating at peak efficiency, while avoiding unnecessary
maintenance and unplanned shutdowns."
