Static Equipment Monitoring

The COMPACS® system utilizes several NDT methods such as acoustic-emission, thermal, electrical, eddy-current, and mathematical methods, such as correlation analysis. The faults are primarily detected by the acoustic emission method. Besides that, the physics-based AI calculates and utilizes deformation parameters, temperature, its gradients, and temperature growth rates of temperature fields. Also, the system detects leaks and contamination of the static equipment for oil and gas, petrochemical, mining, and other plats.

Not Only Defects But A Degradation Stage As Well

Physics-based artificial intelligence utilizes scientifically proven knowledge. Thus, each defect or malfunction of static equipment in oil refineries and other plants has its own unique set of parameters that not only reliably detect the malfunction itself but also allow for determining the stage of its degradation using specific thresholds. Thus, if the system identifies a particular pattern, the defect exists, and its stage of degradation has been determined. The COMPACS® system monitors the state of coke drums, regenerators, towers, tanks, vessels, pipelines, heat exchangers, and other static equipment.
