Problem statement

The utility team in a large process industry had the following problems tracking their air compressors.

  • Very low visibility on how compressors are working
  • Which compressors are functioning properly ie What is the actual demand in the plant or when performance is degrading?
  • No view on individual air compressor performance.
  • The data from each compressor is collected by hand every 24 hours.

Solution Implemented

Converted the air compressor’s into a smart system.

  • Vortex flow meter installed on the compressed air line.
  • Energy meter with an analytics system to deep dive into the air compressor.

Impact

Power consumption reduced by 5%
