UNSTABLE PRESSURE IN THE COMPRESSOR

EVENT REPORTED by SAM GUARD®

Detected unstable pressure in CH4 compressor.

On May 15th, the compressor current dropped sharply. Further investigation revealed that this drop was accompanied by a simultaneous reduction in cooling water flow to the compressor

MAINTENANCE TEAM FINDINGS

The issue was reported to the plant team, who discovered that after an unexpected power outage, the compressor had not been restarted. Thanks to the SAM GUARD® event notification, the compressor was promptly restarted, and the water flow was restored.

COST / DOWNTIME AVOIDED

The compressor is crucial for maximizing production, and this early detection helped minimize production losses by ensuring swift action and restoring optimal operation.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

“Good finding by SAM GUARD® which made it possible to maximize production capacity in the plant.”
