SYSTEM FOR MONITORING A BIOCHEMICAL PROCESS
The invention relates to a method and a system for in-situ monitoring of a biochemical process in a reactor comprising a vessel (5) intended to receive a liquid (7), said system comprising: a measuring device (9) intended to be inserted floating into said vessel 5, said measuring device (9) being instrumented with sensors configured to take measurements relating to the biochemical process at successive instants and to transmit, at said successive instants, observation data representing said measurements; and a control device (11) configured to control the regulation of the biochemical reactor (3) at said successive instants, according to said observation data received from the measuring device (9).
Systems and methods for sucker rod pump jack visualizations and analytics
A computer-implemented method may comprise attaching a plurality of wireless sensors to a pump jack; receiving time-stamped data from at least some of the plurality of wireless sensors attached to the pump jack, at least one of the plurality of wireless sensors comprising an accelerometer and a gyroscope and being attached to a crank arm of the pump jack; synchronizing the received time-stamped data; from the synchronized time-stamped data, calculating and generating information related to: a downhole load versus polished rod position of the pump jack; a relative balance of a counterweight of the pump jack relative to a horse head of the pump jack; deviations from a nominal acceleration profile of a bridle of the pump jack; and an angle of inclination of the bridle of the pump jack; and selectively generating, on a computing device, visualizations of the generated information.
Detection and counting of surge cycles in a compressor
The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a method that includes receiving one or more surge value parameters, selecting a first value from a selected parameter of the one of the parameters, determining a moving average, determining a rate of change, identifying a first phase of a surge cycle based on determining that the rate of change exceeds a threshold rate change, memorializing the first value, the moving average value, and a first time index, receiving a second value of the selected parameter, identifying a second phase of the surge cycle, receiving a third value of the selected parameter, identifying a third phase of the surge cycle, and providing an indication that one or more compressor surge cycles have occurred.
