ARPM (Automated Rigorous Performance Monitoring) is a comprehensive monitoring solution for the oil and gas processing, refining, petrochemical and chemical industries. The product uses real-time plant data and rigorous simulation models to extract validated process and equipment performance information.
ARPM is used to:
- Diagnose root causes of performance degradation.
- Anticipate need for performing maintenance.
- Monitor equipment performance relative to design.
- Determine the economic impact of performance degradation.
- Identify faulty instrumentation and resolve problems quickly.
- Exploit intelligent soft sensor capabilities to calculate unmeasured process parameters.
ARPM's integrated modeling environment provides complete simulation, data reconciliation and performance monitoring for refiners, petrochemical companies and NGL/LNG producers.
ARPM can be used for the following performance monitoring applications:
- Monitor current heat exchanger fouling relative to clean values and the benefits gained by cleaning.
- Monitor current compressor efficiencies and head relative to the design and cost of performance degradation.
- Monitor current tower tray efficiencies relative to design and the affects of tray flooding on the process.
- Monitor current catalyst activity and the economic impact of loss in activity.
Additionally, ARPM's advanced equation-based modeling engine allows flexible flow sheet specification and definition of custom performance monitoring tasks.
