Online device health assessment

In today’s industrial landscape, failure detection is critical to operational safety and efficiency. Not all key instrumentation issues can be efficiently diagnosed by the conventional onboard electronics, which keeps maintenance teams in the dark and puts operations at risk.

CCC has made the next step in instrument diagnostic technology by analyzing the process behavior and detect patterns associated with device failure. This holistic approach helps identify failures by verifying that the process behaves as it would when the device is healthy, or identifying measurements that indicate something is wrong even though the device built-in failure detection electronics have not flagged an issue. 

Valve Exerciser

Antisurge valves are key to preventing highly destructive compressor surge events. But even the most high-quality mechanical device lacks 100% reliability, and antisurge valve failures may go undetected because the device is designed to stay closed when the compressor is loaded. CCC’s Valve Exerciser verifies the health of the antisurge valve in less than one minute — without disturbing the process.

Transmitter Freeze Detector

Pressure measurements in general and especially differential pressure measurements are susceptible to faulty readings, due to the relatively low level of the signal and its sensitivity to distortions due to issues in the impulse lines. Multiple cases were reported where the signal from the transmitter was not being updated, the value just “froze”. This solution detects such issues and reports it to the Operator.

Transmitter Drift Detector

If there’s a deviation between two signals in a dual redundant transmitter pair, the more conservative value is always selected, leading to safer, but often inefficient action from the controller. CCC’s Transmitter Drift Detection feature provides a way to detect which transmitter is "drifting” even if it remains within the healthy signal range.
