MONITORING
Trap monitoring has major limitations that must be taken into account. It is wrongly admitted that wireless monitoring is more cost effective than wired. In general, this is true. However, it is totally false when applied to hundreds or thousands of steam traps, for example. In refineries, petrochemical plants, …
The next two schematics highlight some limitations and critical points of inefficiency in wireless networks with hundreds of steam traps and how the wired architecture is much more effective in solving them.
SmartWatchWeb ™ Topology
The SmartWatchWeb ™ trap monitoring system combines innovative technologies (digitization, sensorization, data acquisition and processing, …) to perform precise fault diagnoses in real time in order to achieve steam savings of 10% to 20% , applying the Intensive Maintenance Methodology on large populations of steam traps. SmartWatchWeb ™ is the only proven monitoring system with sufficient scalability to monitor thousands of steam traps. See more than 60 success stories over more than 20 years(references).
The following diagram shows the powerful SmartWatchWeb ™ topology:
SmartWatchWeb™ offers extraordinary flexibility in combining wired and wireless architectures to easily adapt to any industrial environment. Its high scalability allows tens of thousands of steam traps to be monitored on a single network and monitoring platform, reducing installation and maintenance costs.
We provide specialized services focused on excellence in energy efficiency of steam networks in the oil refining and petrochemical industry sectors. Our technicians are highly qualified professionals with decades of experience, backed by excellent results.
