The paper presents statistical analysis of distributions of characteristics of a spectral matrix of vibrations of batch-type equipment by a centrifugal pump unit.
The results of work have been used in the construction of automated expert system (ES) for diagnostics and decision-making in respect of technical condition.
The developed ES is integrated into the software of the COMPACS® stationary system for continuous vibration monitoring and vibration diagnostics, stand systems and Compacs®-micro portable device. Thus, it integrates into the system that provides measurement, storage of the measurements, ES measurements processing and automatic instructions – without the personnel being involved. Consequently, it helps to avoid subjective errors and expenditure of time.

Operative reciprocating compressors and those put into operation are almost indispensable equipment of processing trains of petrochemical enterprises. Reciprocators operating for a long time especially require condition control due to the termination of service life of some units and parts with different operating lives.
Automated Control System of Safe Resource-saving operation and Maintenance of equipment of refineries and petrochemical plants (ACS SRSM™) COMPACS® is the most optimized system in terms of the cost of a single channel and explosion safety. ACS SRSM™ COMPACS® realizes the strategy of the minimum cost of the systems for vibration analysis and vibration monitoring.
The COMPACS® system for vibration monitoring of technical equipment enables focused and reliable condition control of the equipment, including reciprocating compressors, prevention of sudden malfunctions and shutdowns, real-time control and correction of the personnel actions by integration of the data from the systems of a single diagnostic network Compacs-Net® with a single database of the monitoring parameters. Thus, the COMPACS® system provides vibration monitoring of equipment condition and promotes transition to operation in accordance with the actual technical condition. Consequently, it reduces material costs of maintenance.

The purpose of monitoring system implementation is visualization of the equipment condition for early prevention of accidents and maximization of run-to-failure period of the equipment.
Only the availability of the systems, which automatically evaluate the equipment condition, enables complete elimination of a human factor from the process of diagnostics and control of execution of the regulations. Therefore, such systems enable to solve the problem of timely and targeted maintenance and repair on the stipulation that the unit capacity does not reduce.
The COMPACS® monitoring system meets the requirements and enables diagnostics and prediction of basic malfunctions. The system notifies the personnel about urgent immediate actions intended to control the equipment condition; it enables to control execution of diagnostic regulations of the systems and the personnel actions, to develop the plans of targeted repairs in real-time mode, to release from repair equipment with the maximum potential life.

In most Russian fuel-and-energy companies considerable proportion of the investments in production process is spent on elimination of the accident consequences, production defects and unreasonable costs of repair of fixed production assets.
The emergence of Automated Control Systems of Safe Resource-saving operation and Maintenance of equipment (ACS SRSM™) COMPACS® and SM™-technology (Safe Maintenance™) for safe resource-saving operation of equipment enabled condition monitoring at all stages of its life-cycle by timely detection of malfunctions, supervision over malfunction development, provision the personnel with the instructions on the necessity of repair or emergency shutdown, and control of the timeliness of execution of above instructions.
Characteristic features of a new operation technology, which is being successfully implemented at refinery, petrochemical and other enterprises with uninterrupted cycle: significant economic effect tested through practice, short payback period and resource-saving safety.

Operation costs can be minimized by conducting timely and focused maintenance based on real-time condition monitoring, full using the equipment resource, and elimination of unscheduled shutdown and replacement.
Main causes of equipment operation problems at petrochemical enterprises are:
lack of observability of actual operation processes;
lack of quality control of the units and their assemblies during production and repair;
design errors in calculation of the required aggregate capacity;
lack of efficient control over the actions of the personnel responsible for conducting of the process and maintaining of equipment operability.
These problems often block timely and focused measures for maintaining a high degree of technical readiness of production. The problems above can be solved by the implementation of the COMPACS® stationary systems for vibration analysis and equipment condition monitoring at process units, at repair departments - stand systems for vibration analysis and repair quality control of the units and their assemblies, at whole enterprise - computer diagnostic network Compacs-Net® that enables direct management of the operation in real-time mode. The implementation of the systems for vibration analysis and equipment condition monitoring on the basis of Automated Control Systems of Safe Resource-saving operation and Maintenance of equipment (ACS SRSM™) COMPACS® enables high level of anthropogenic safety and production efficiency.
