Edited for USA by Skip Hartman, MachineryWatch

Our Market Research Found:-

• Critical Balance of Plant (BOP) equipment is often not monitored

• Route based monitoring with portable instruments is sometime used

• BOP items do not require Beran PlantProtech 766/8 Analyzer’s features

• BOP items often utilize rolling element bearings

• BOP Machines may not have RPM reference

• Users need to review long term trends

Cooling Water Pump

We have developed a data acquisition system to:-

• Monitor critical BOP machines

• Fill the monitoring gap between large machinery and plant items on monthly walk around routes

• Operate stand alone or networked

• Monitor rolling element bearings

• Perform long term data trending

• Capture FFTs and time waveforms

• Be used by plant engineers and technology centers

• Be integrated into Beran PlantProtech Vision Software

• Be used for remote monitoring applications

Condition Monitoring of Critical Assets

• Strategic Important Assets

(Turbines / MBFP / SSBFP)

Monitored by Beran Systems (766/8)

Criticality based on loss of production

• Operational Plant Assets (BOP)

Large quantity of rotating machinery required for generation

Typically covered by walk around routines

$$$ HIGH

Criticality to production

$$$ LOW

Reviewing machines and operational requirements has identified the need to monitor more often more plant items

to ensure continued operation of the whole plant
