AMS Suite pinpoints improvement opportunities

Emerson has introduced AMS Suite: Global Performance Advisor for real-time equipment performance analysis of turbomachinery.

The release extends the Emerson Online Machinery Monitoring solution for analysis of equipment performance.

With AMS Performance Advisor, users can predict the performance of assets by identifying, in real time, performance deterioration of critical machinery.

Emerson Online Machinery Monitoring solution combines protection, prediction, and performance monitoring with process control, leading to improved availability and performance.

A key component of PlantWeb digital plant architecture, the complete solution includes hardware, software and services and is targeted for key equipment, such as compressors, gas turbines, steam turbines, boilers, heat recovery steam generators, heat exchangers and pumps.

AMS Performance Advisor serves as a complement to AMS Suite: Equipment Performance Monitor, a service-based application that provides analysis of equipment performance.

Identifying performance degradation of equipment can deliver significant cost savings, Emerson said.

For example, if fouling causes a loss in heat rate, more energy will be required to drive the process.

By identifying and preventing just one per cent of actual energy loss, a plant can save approximately EUR90,000 (GBP77,400) annually for every 50MW of energy.

The real-time information available with AMS Performance Advisor helps users pinpoint opportunities for performance improvement that would otherwise go unnoticed.
