TECHANALYSIS® - ASSET MANAGMENT SYSTEM

techanalysis® is a collector, register, follower and manager system for parameters of industrial process, where the collected data are transformed in technical information that interpret the condition and/or operational performance.

The objective is to fulfill the wide gap between the manual acquisition routine of these variables in "accompaniment sheets" (low cost and little efficiency) and the continuous supervising systems, SDCD for example (little flexibility and high cost).

The system associates hardware and software facilities option for remote data transmission and access via Internet (for example) to specific knowledge of process and engineering equipment, setting up a powerful support system to reach decisions for the maintenance, operation process by engineering professionals, from different kind of industrial plants (petrochemical, ironworks, petroleum, "off-shore", food, mining, paper and cellulose and energy generation).

Data obtained with a portable collector (data collector) are managed using several calculus resources, allowing for clients important technical information, which are obtained with engineering calculus, like:

	Efficiency;
	Consumed Power;
	Specific Parameters obtained by specific formulation, determined by the usuary.

Beyond the technical information, the techanalysis® also offers resources for the management and solution of operation and maintenance problems, for example:

	Information storage in data base;
	Data presentation in graphical form or in table charts;
	Limits Definition of normal operation and level of alert and danger, informing to clients directly in the screen when each limit is reached, the abnormalities and deviation occurred, just after the data collecting;
	Tendency curve easily and instantaneously obtained for each monitored parameter;
	Information for "troubleshooting";
	Operational performance calculus, efficiency and consumed power of equipment, in a real basis or by simulation.
	Presentation of a checklist for eventual abnormalities, relating individually action and countermeasure that can be taken with the equipment in operation or only during Shut Down. In the second case, delay time and resources are informed for each maintenance service demanded. The service scheduling could be automatically transferred for a specific database.

THE BEST COST x BENEFIT RELATION

The chart below presents abstractly a comparative analysis between techanalysis® and other methods of process variables monitoring and accompaniment:

The vibration, temperature, pressure, flow, oil level, etc., are obtained by Portable Measurement Instruments or by a measuring field instrument and storeaged at a Data Collector. After that the Data are removed from the Data Collector to the techanalysis® where they are processed and storeaged at a Database. The Figure below presents the basic structure of data acquisition by techanalysis®

Figure 1 - The techanalysis® Operation

techanalysis® is applied to every kind of equipment or industrial process and to various specialties (process, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and stationary equipment) whenever the accompaniment is required from every important parameter for equipment evaluation in terms of condition and performance. These are examples of equipment:

	Centrifugal and reciprocating compressors;
	Centrifugal Pumps;
	Fans;
	Reducers;
	Heat Exchangers;
	Process Towers;
	Pressure Vessels.

HIGH FLEXIBILITY

Performing techanalysis® monitoring, every variable obtained by instrument data inspection can be monitored. And, through simple adaptation, it can be possible to receive data from other monitoring system, with total flexibility.
For example, some parameters that could be monitored:

	Pressure;
	Temperature;
	Flow rate;
	Noise;
	Vibration;
	Amperage;
	Vessels and process towers wall thickness;
	Fuel Consumption;
	Parameters obtained with SDCD systems, and others.

One specific module allows performing calculus through the combination of the several variables that accompanies aspects related to the equipment's performance, process accompaniment and other important item for the warrantee of the industrial plant reliability.

PERMANENT TECHNICAL SUPPORT

techanalysis® installation, client personnel training and daily operation are supported by Turbotech. The existing operational and maintenance routines could be utilized and no extra maintenance and operation professionals are necessary to perform routines, besides actual resources available in each plant.
