There are no sudden accidents: Improving of the efficiency of 21-10/ZM unit operation on the basis of equipment condition monitoring

The process of coking is widely used for processing of heavy still bottoms. It enables to improve the depth of oil refining and thus increase the enterprise profitability.

21-10/ZM unit releases through the complicated process involving hundreds of units of machine and columned-capacitive equipment. The failure of any element of a technological cycle may not only cause the decrease of quality and output but also result in emergency shutdown.  

In order to ensure reliability of production it is necessary to know technical condition of equipment in operation, timely detect assemblies with critical technical condition and prevent emergencies.

Equipping of the machinery of Omsk Refinery with the COMPACS^® stationary system enabled accident elimination. So-called sudden failures stopped. 'Suddenness' occurs in case of absence of the supervision over the processes of defects emergence or development, and consequently their growth to a critical level up until the accident.
