SPE-211244-MSDeveloping Failures in Rotating and Reciprocating Machines

With the paradigm shift towards digitalization, Operators and service providers are inclined to use technologies that can optimize efforts from workforce by providing meaningful information rather than just ‘data’ and transition subject matter knowledge into machines rather than limiting it to people. Case studies are demonstrated in this article where users were able to capitalize Decision Support analytics to identify developing machinery malfunctions saving their assets from expensive secondary repercussions.

What's going on with my Recip? How uncommon failure modes get detected.

According to the EFRC Compressor Reliability Survey, the primary causes for reciprocating compressor unscheduled shutdowns include faults at valves, pressure packing, process problems, piston rings, rider bands and unloaders.

Modern condition monitoring technologies provide key information to pinpoint to malfunctions at those components and enable effective operating and maintenance decisions.
