Reducing Pump Shutdowns with Live Monitoring and Alerts
Inspirational Use Cases, Use Cases, Water & wastewater (iuc) PDF Plant Manager, Process Engineer Beginner Asset, Asset Reliability, Continuous Improvement, Downtime Reduction, General, Operational Performance, Predictive Maintenance, Sustainability Asset Water & Wastewater Water & Wastewater Use CaseBecause pumps are such a critical part of the water treatment process, engineers needed a better way to know which pumps were online and which had failed.
Engineers at this wastewater treatment plant learned using TrendMiner why its pH levels were higher after a partial pipe replacement project.
When an oil company needed to figure out the flow rate from a well, it used TrendMiner monitoring to keep the wells operational and prevent sudden shutdowns.
When a plant suffered from coking problems and shutdowns as its product cooled, engineers used TrendMiner to determine how to keep the factory operational.
A starch manufacturer requires a coagulator to operate continuously, so engineers used TrendMiner to find out why one was failing more frequently.
A utility gained $260,000 in business value after TrendMiner helped it determine when to calibrate the inlet valves for its natural gas generator.
When engineers found deviations in quality, they used TrendMiner to compare batches. With this insight, they realized the melting cycle was ending too early.
