ProRPM: Real-time Performance Monitoring

Process plants are dynamic in nature. Continuously changing feedstock, operating conditions, products and environmental factors impact the daily operation of a process plant. It’s no longer good enough to monitor the plant occasionally on a static basis. With intense industrial competition, companies must track and monitor key performance indicators (KPI’s) continuously including profitability, costs, as well as energy & environmental factors. Ingenious Inc offers advanced solutions and domain expertise in the chemical, oil & gas and energy industries.

Ingenious’ ProRPM solution is a model based real-time performance monitoring (RPM) solution. ProRPM features easy data integration, next generation dashboards, web services, and a rigorous calculation engine used to calculate KPI’s, green house gas (GHG) emissions and other custom calculations, and seamless connectivity with leading modeling and process simulation engines.

Need For RPM

  • Large assets at work with plant personnel focusing on maintaining throughput and keeping units online.
  • Plants need to reduce costs & energy consumption.
  • Increasing demand for graphical solutions & Analytics that provide actionable items as opposed to reams of raw data.
  • Resource limited industry, with need to manage safety and quality issues.
  • Green House Gas (GHG) emissions monitoring & reporting per Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements.

Steps In Developing RPM

  • Plant data collection through various data sources
  • Development of rigorous simulation model to determine optimum operation
  • Custom “knowledge” templates to predict and forecast current and future problems/improvements in the plant
  • Display dashboards and Analytics with KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators)
  • Engineers continuously monitor plant making recommendations for improvements

RPM Applications

  • Continuously monitor KPI’s and performance
  • Perform “what-if” analysis and debottlenecking to improve product yields and quality
  • Equipment condition monitoring
  • Improve resource utilization
  • Accurate Material Balance and loss analysis
  • Profit & Operations Analytics through dashboards

Integration

ProRPM is designed to easily integrate with leading third party applications such as OSISoft’s PI data historian, Leading simulation software, Microsoft SQL server and Microsoft SharePoint.
