"Tobolsk-Neftekhim" LLC: Response to the operation of the computer monitor COMPACS

In the production "Butadien" of "Tobolsk-Neftekhim" LLC the vibration parameters of pumping equipment are controlled by the computer monitoring system COMPACS^®.

20 pumps are connected to the present system COMPACS^® in CGFU workshop (commissioned in 1994) and the following measurements are carried out:

• vibroacceleration - 57 channels,
• velocity - 57 channels,
• vibrodisplacement – 57 channels,
• current consumption - 20 channels.

36 pumps are connected to the present system COMPACS^® in DBO-10 workshop (commissioned in 1998) and the following measurements are carried out:

• vibroacceleration - 72 channels,
• velocity - 72 channels,
• vibrodisplacement – 72 channels,
• current consumption - 36 channels.

20 pumps are connected to the present system COMPACS^® in DBO branch and in DBO-2/3 workshop (commissioned in 1997) and the following measurements are carried out:

• vibroacceleration - 48 channels,
• velocity - 48 channels,
• vibrodisplacement - 48 channels,
• current consumption - 20 channels.

During the operation of the system its advantages and assignments were fully confirmed.

1. The intuitively comprehensible user interface allows reducing the time of mastering the system by the staff.


2. COMPACS^® provides safe operation of equipment by continuous monitoring and recording the values of components and assemblies technical condition with the ability to monitor and analyze changes (current indications and data trends for a certain period of time).


3. The system allows conducting a convenient history of repairs, runs, machines switchings on and off.


4. By dint of the system we can prevent (minimize) the sudden, unplanned shutdowns of equipment, thereby reducing material and labor costs for unscheduled repairs, as well as plan, prepare in advance and carry out repairs with optimal material and labor costs in the short term.

We see the further development of the system in the change of the diagnostic stations equipment for a modern one with the ability to transmit data in real-time to the concerned experts in the local enterprise network, as well as with the ability to integrate these data into the enterprise automated system of maintenance and repair.
