Vibration Monitoring

The health and reliability of pumps are essential because of the demands placed upon them.

Various operating conditions such as load, speed, and availability all contribute to uncertainty when it comes to the health of your assets. The result can be unexpected failures or, conversely, intrusive maintenance procedures which drive up cost and increase failure probabilities. Design issues, resulting from computerized modeling, are often not realized until the assets are put into service in inhospitable environments. In most facilities, vibration on assets represents a considerable risk to operations and a cost to maintenance.

It is not enough to find a problem; corrective actions must eliminate the source.

Emerson's AMS vibration technologies – the AMS 2140 Machinery Health Analyzer for periodic collection, the AMS 9420 Wireless Vibration Transmitter for surveillance, and the AMS 6500 Machinery Health Monitor for continuous collection – utilize advanced detection and analysis capabilities. Emerson's patented PeakVue™ technology allows for early detection of operating and mechanical issues. Use our vibration monitoring solutions to ensure critical information is available to both operations and maintenance personnel for informed decision-making.

Asset Monitoring

Production and process variables often have a dramatic impact on the behavior or health of critical assets.

In today’s competitive business environment, run to failure or other reactive maintenance practices for critical compressors put organizations at a disadvantage with increased operation costs and poor efficiency. Today’s maintenance strategies on critical rotating and reciprocating assets require not only shut down protection, but additional information that can be used to determine asset health.

Communicate vital information enterprise-wide to improve maintenance and operational decisions.

Through the use of properly applied technologies for reciprocating and rotating compressor technologies, our team can efficiently provide health information beyond standard API specifications. With the integration of machinery health information and Emerson DeltaV™ or other process control systems, owners of compressors can understand the behavior of critical assets and how they are impacted by various operating conditions.

Overpressure Protection

Overpressure Protection

Pumps and compressors act as the plant’s heart, keeping the process fluid moving through the plant.

If a compressor goes down, it can cripple production and cause the need to vent or flare.

Ensure the safety of your personnel and equipment with our pressure management solutions.

As you deal with high pressures on the discharge sides of pumps and compressors, you want to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment in the event of a blocked discharge. Our pressure management team offers a wide range of safety relief valves to meet the most rigorous demands in your high pressure and high vibration applications.

Anti-Surge Technology Systems

Anti-Surge Technology

As gas passes through a compressor, there are limitations on power, speed, process, and surge.

Flow instability occurs when the compressor cannot produce enough pressure head to overcome the downstream resistance. When the downstream demand decreases, flow rates can fall below the point of stable operation. Reversal of flow will occur if the downstream pressure becomes greater than the discharge compressor pressure. This fast, high energy action will be accompanied by a large breakdown of flow patterns within the compressor, as well as vibration, noise, and significant and costly damage.

Our anti-surge valves are designed to protect the compressor and provide the needed responsiveness for start-up and shutdown control.

In addition, they can quickly respond to small signal changes and provide positive position feedback control.
