Optimized turbomachinery control
Reduce energy consumption in compressor trains
Automation & Digitization For Energy Performance - Industry 4.0 - Process Control
Technology description
Industrial process compressors consume significant amounts of energy. When it is required to recirculate or blow-off the gas, due to process constraints, significant part of this energy is lost. Control-Care’s intelligent algorithms allow tighter control to avoid unnecessary recirculation or blow-off. Energy savings convert to ktons of CO2 savings per year. A full suite of control applications is available for large and complex compressor configurations.
Key features
- Reduce energy consumption of compressors
- Available for all control system platforms
- Available for all compressor manufacturers
Application fields
Application library and expertise is available for process gas compressors that can be found in most industrial sites, including: oil & gas (offshore and onshore), chemical, petrochemical pulp & paper, metals & mining, power generation, etc.
Business case
Ammonia plant in Belgium where the optimization of an air compressor, a syngas compressor and a refrigeration compressor saved more than 2,000-ton CO2 per year.
CO2 impact / Energy cost reduction
Cost reduction of typically 100-200 kEUR per annum relates to approximately 1,500-2,500 ton per annum CO2 reduction.
Non-energy benefits
- Optimized compressor control
- Integrated compressor control solution within process control systems, therefore: no black boxes or purposely built hardware platforms. This means: less systems, less interfaces
- Suite of proven applications and standardized solutions
- Fault tolerant control strategies
- Remote Monitoring & Diagnostics and Smart Asset Management
