KEY BENEFITS
Optimizing the performance, uptime & reliability of compressors and ancillary equipment
mGuard® CompressorWatch™ provides the oil and gas industry with a powerful remote monitoring tool that is specifically designed to provide valuable insight into the performance and health status of reciprocating gas compressors. mGuard® CompressorWatch™ can detect when components might still be healthy but are beginning to deteriorate. You’ll be alerted, so that action can be taken before deterioration results in failure.
Because we preconfigure the solution for you, you’ll rapidly achieve ROI and see the operational benefits of being able to detect end of useful life and reliability-related failures. The impact of mGuard® CompressorWatch™ can include:
- Increased productivity and less unscheduled downtime
- More time to schedule and prepare for needed repairs
- Fewer unnecessary and/or unscheduled repairs
- Improved Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)
- Avoiding failure mode misdiagnosis and the associated additional costs
- Useful analysis that aids in determining the severity of a failure
- Improved reliability, utilization and Mean Time Between Outages (MBTO)
How it Works?
Analyzing gigabytes of data in a matter of milliseconds
Your Machines. Your Data. Your Way.
mGuard® CompressorWatch™ collects real-time streaming data from compressors and ancillary equipment outfitted with the mCore®SDR industrial data acquisition device. Data flows into the trusted MonicoLive™ platform, where mGuard® CompressorWatch™ analytics go to work instantly. No expensive sensor add-on packages are required.
Our automated analyses and notifications have been painstakingly developed and refined by our subject matter experts to help you save money and optimize operations through improved asset reliability, reduced unscheduled shutdowns and improved preventative maintenance planning. Assets that CompressorWatch™ is designed to analyze include:
- Engines and compressor components
- Engine and compressor sensors
- Emissions
- Jacket water cooling systems
- Auxiliary cooling systems
- Lubrication
- Exhaust systems
- Equipment KPIs
- Air intake systems
- Engine performance
- Compressor valve failures
- Ignition systems
- Air/fuel ratio systems
ADVANCED FEATURES
Powerful compressor data analysis alerts you to trouble
Automated Advanced Notifications & Alerts
When CompressorWatch™ identifies a potential failure or shutdown, the system will trigger an immediate notification and a direct link to MonicoLive. This makes it easy to get to the root of the problem quickly and perform additional human analysis of the data.
Dashboards/Data Visualization
The data visualization environment is a key feature of mGuard® CompressorWatch™. Built within MonicoLive, the dashboards are preconfigured and set up for each specific asset. In addition to viewing current data, you can look at historical data with simple functionality that lets you move backwards and forwards along the timeline or select a specific date/time. Dashboards include:
- Event & Diagnostic Codes
- Status
- A/F Ratio & Load Control
- Oil-Coolant Systems
- Exhaust Temperatures
- Transformer Secondary
- Ignition Timing
- Combustion Time
- Engine Cylinder Data
