Condition Monitoring
“Enhance your plant’s maintenance efficiency by adopting cutting-edge condition monitoring techniques with IDEM Engineering.”
Industrial stability depends on maximizing machinery availability to achieve production targets. IDEM Engineering’s team of experts evaluates equipment health during operation to plan and execute maintenance effectively. By diagnosing critical parameters in real-time, condition monitoring goes beyond traditional methods to ensure equipment reliability, identifying potential issues before they escalate.
Condition Monitoring Techniques
IDEM Engineering offers comprehensive plant integrity assessments by implementing the following advanced technologies:
Vibration Analysis
Over time, vibration monitoring has emerged as a key tool for condition monitoring and fault diagnosis. Every rotating and reciprocating machine is analyzed for baseline vibration limits during commissioning and monitored for deviations through scheduled vibration data acquisition. This proactive approach shifts maintenance activities from preventive to predictive, addressing vibration issues promptly to ensure reliable operations.
Vibration Diagnostics
Using state-of-the-art vibration analyzers and internationally certified professionals, IDEM Engineering identifies major machinery issues such as:
- Structural looseness
- Rotating looseness
- Resonance
- Unbalance
- Pump cavitation
- Misalignment
- Soft footing faults
- Flow turbulence
Infrared Thermography (IRT)
IDEM Engineering performs asset health assessments using advanced infrared thermal imaging cameras to analyze temperature variations. This non-contact imaging technique generates a detailed thermal map of the equipment, identifying temperature gradients and potential issues. Key industrial applications include:
- Transformers
- Heat ducts
- Motors
- Electrical panels
- Wall seepages
- Circuit breakers
Ultrasonic Acoustic Emission Testing
Pneumatic valves and compressed air/gas systems are inspected for leakages using ultrasonic acoustic signal analyzers. This non-contact method ensures accurate detection of leaks. Additionally, contact modules enable performance evaluation of steam traps and valves to identify efficiency drops.
