Challenges • Plant has non-repeating failures that occur in a different location each time. • Need to increase visibility within the plant. Failures occur in overlooked and ignored parts of plant. How SAM GUARD Helped • SAM GUARD created a warning about abnormal behavior prior to the part failure. • After inspection, a gas leakage was found in the plumbing equipment. Measures were taken to replace all plumbing equipment. • The redundant transmitter did not appear in the PI Book diagrams, nor in the TDC or on site! • The transmitter that regulates the pumping pressure of the compressor was replaced with a new one.
