  • Field test

Benefits

  • Improved operation

  • Reduced maintenance costs

  • Fast track to the likely root cause

  • Intelligent and informed approach

  • Safety risks identified and addressed


The availability of your compressors is very heavily influenced by the process behaviour and operating regimes they experience. Designing for good availability requires a thorough understanding of the process/machine interactions and the sensitivity of the system to routine control actions.

MSE's modelling capability allows us to readily identify these complex interactions in both steady state and transient conditions. Action should be taken to positively influence availability at the design concept stage. Our tools and experience allow us to help operators realise huge improvements in built and operating plant.

In extreme cases failure may be a contributor to poor availability. MSE recommend a two-phase approach when responding to a failure:

  • Immediate failure investigation to establish the root cause and recommend immediate solutions

  • Ongoing health monitoring and diagnostics to reduce the risk of future failure.

Combining field data with our knowledge base and modelling expertise provides a one-stop solution for our clients and offers the opportunity to move your plant up to benchmark performance.
