Saratov Refinery: Response to operation of the COMPACS system for vibration analysis and condition monitoring

In 2005, a stationary system COMPACS^® was implemented at the Saratov Refinery. Under the control of the COMPACS^® system which carries out continuous condition monitoring at the ELOU-AVT-6 unit, 29 of the most important machines were located. The unit’s condition monitoring is conducted by means of vibration analysis method of NDT through vibration and current sensors.

In 2011, number of units which condition was monitored by the COMPACS^® system was increased by 55. Now constant condition control of the most important pump units is carried out through 81 current force measuring channels.

Implementation of the COMPACS^® system provides condition monitoring of processing equipment in real-time, as well as timely personnel’s reaction to the change of its condition due to both emergence of failures of various assemblies and parts, and operational process disturbance. This allows safe resource-saving and condition-based operation of processing equipment.
