Challenge:  It is common for a compressor to need to run reliably for two to seven years without interruption -- and without backup or spares.  If your compressor or turbine trips, whether due to excess vibration, malfunctioning instruments or surge, it can bring your entire operation to an abrupt halt and cause you to flare or vent, creating environmental concerns. 

Solution:  Emerson has a complete set of solutions that are proven to help you improve reliability, availability, controllability, and energy usage.  Our predictive and protective machinery health solutions combined with the predictive diagnostics of our devices mean that operators are notified quickly about mechanical and process issues and can take corrective action to solve issues before they become large production-threatening problems.

Emerson also provides an optimized anti-surge solution as well as accurate, high-speed devices with prediction and performance analysis capabilities to deal with those situations that no human is fast enough to respond to  – helping you ensure your compressor runs without interruption and spurious downtime and with the confidence that if shut down is necessary, it can be safely achieved.
