Advanced on-line monitoring of plant and ships using remote telemetry

Obiettivo



The industrial need of plant operators in the power, refinery, petrochemical, steel and shipbuilding industries iS to ensure the continued reliable, economic operation of plant and to avoid failures in service, with resultant unplanned shutdowns. reduced plant availability, productivity and maintenance costs. For power, refinery and petrochemical piant, the development of on-line monitoring is vital to reduce inspection and maintenance costs, extend the operating period and reduce shut-down time. However, the use of advanced sensors for on-line monitoring is restricted by the need for cabling, required in long lengths, which are both costly to install and prone to damage during operation and maintenance. For large rotating machinery, such as turbines, propeller shafts in ships and rolling mills, efficient and continued operation is reliant on accurate knowledge of torque. However, retrofitting of conventional torque monitoring systems to these permanent installations is impractical in most cases. The specific objectives are the development of a novel on-line monitoring system based on radio telemetry. The system will comprise miniaturised transmitters interfaced to the sensors, a base telemetry system and PC based signal processing. It will be suitable for use with sensors to measure critical parameters of temperature. strain, torque and crack growth in power and process plant. For turbines and shipping, it will enable cost-effective and rapid retrofitting of torque sensors. For EU power and petrochemical process plant, on-line monitoring using the proposed system is estimated to offer a 6% reduction in plant inspection and maintenance costs of 3540 MECU, a 10% extension of operating period and 10% reduction in shut-down time. For EU shipping, 25% of which is over 25 years old, improved efficiency is vital in the face of harsh competition from Korea, Japan, the US and Russia. The telemetry system will facilitate retrofitting of torque measurement devices and consequent savings of 2% or 5 million tonnes of fuel ( 2000 MECU) world-wide.
