<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>KEYS TO THIS INDUSTRY<\/p>\n<\/div>
Machinery monitoring in a process-critical industry<\/h2><\/div>In the petrochemical industry, catastrophic failures can lead to the total destruction of the plant, due to the hazardous nature of the products processed. Loss of processed product can also occur if at the critical moment the mechanisms for transferring the product from one area of the petrochemical plant to another fail. <\/p>\n
For years, petrochemical plants have had portable equipment for vibration data collection throughout the plant, as well as continuous measurement systems mainly applied to turbomachinery. The current trend is to apply predictive maintenance techniques to all critical machines, including turbomachinery. <\/p>\n
Taking advantage of the existing instrumentation for machine protection, the vibration signal is taken from the existing panels and processed with modern systems capable of spectral analysis, phase, waveform, band analysis, Bode diagrams, cascade spectra, etc.<\/p>\n
Critical machines in petrochemical plants are:<\/p>\n
\n- Turbomachines<\/li>\n
- Pumps<\/li>\n
- Reciprocating and rotary compressors<\/li>\n
- Gearboxes<\/li>\n
- Fans<\/li>\n
- Cooling towers<\/li>\n
