MONITORING FULL EMISSIONS PROFILE OF A NATURAL GAS COMPRESSOR

An exemplary embodiment may include a control hub configured to receive data from an emissions analyzer and a leak detection camera. The emissions analyzer may detect levels of various gases and relay such information to the control hub. In an exemplary embodiment, the emissions analyzer may purge after every test to ensure longevity and accuracy. A leak detection camera may implement quantifying optical gas imaging in order to continuously monitor for fugitive leaks on a compressor package. If a leak is detected, it may be logged and the user or an operating group may be alerted.

20200299169 · 2020-09-24 ·

A method for controlling a process for forming glass containers (2) includes the steps of extracting a so-called sample container, acquiring by means of a tomography apparatus (30) several X-ray images of the sample container from different projection angles, sending the X-ray images to a computer (38), and analyzing the X-ray images using a computer. A three-dimensional digital model of the sample container is constructed in a virtual reference frame on the basis of the X-ray images. The position of the three-dimensional digital model with respect to the position of the sample container in a mold reference frame is determined and the three-dimensional digital model is analyzed to determine at least one quality indicator (A) of the sample container.

Performance parameterization of process equipment and systems
11920811 · 2024-03-05 · ·

Performance mapping of equipment performance parameters by capturing, mapping, and/or structuralizing equipment performance data of a device for installation in a system. This includes generating performance maps which outline the expected feature performance parameter behavior of the equipment based on a set of operating parameters that capture the operating conditions. Each performance parameter on the map is representative of an operating point of specific operating conditions taken at a particular point in time. In one example, a performance parameter can be defined by an individualized set of parameter coefficients which in turn are dependent on instantaneous operating conditions. With the performance maps determined individually for devices as part of the system, and stored along with a time of testing, activities such as continuous commissioning, monitoring and verification, preventative maintenance, fault detection and diagnostics, as well as energy performance benchmarking and long term monitoring can be performed.
