Advanced Condition Monitoring
“Enhance your plant’s maintenance processes by implementing cutting-edge Advanced Condition Monitoring techniques with IDEM Engineering.”
Industrial stability is achieved through optimal machinery availability to meet production demands. IDEM Engineering’s experts analyze equipment health in real-time to optimize maintenance schedules accordingly. Advanced Condition Monitoring ensures equipment reliability by promptly diagnosing machinery issues based on critical parameters.
Advanced Condition Monitoring Techniques
IDEM Engineering offers a comprehensive plant integrity assessment solution through the implementation of the following technologies:
Vibration Analysis
Vibration monitoring and trending have become integral tools for advanced condition monitoring and fault detection. Each rotating and reciprocating machine is evaluated for baseline vibration limits upon commissioning, and ongoing monitoring tracks any deviations over time. This transition from preventive to proactive maintenance allows for the early detection of vibration-related issues, ensuring the reliability of operations.
Vibration Diagnostics
Using state-of-the-art vibration analyzers and internationally trained professionals, IDEM Engineering identifies the following key issues in industrial machinery:
- Structural looseness
- Rotating looseness
- Resonance
- Unbalance
- Pump cavitation
- Misalignment
- Soft footing faults
- Flow turbulence
Infrared Thermography
Asset health is assessed by analyzing temperature data with a diverse range of advanced infrared thermal imaging cameras. Non-contact thermal imaging monitors temperature changes, creating a detailed contour plot with readable temperature gradients. Common industrial applications for infrared thermography include:
- Transformers
- Heat ducts
- Motors
- Electrical panels
- Wall seepages
- Circuit breakers
Ultrasonic Acoustic Emission Testing
Non-contact leakage detection is performed on pneumatic valves and compressed air/gas systems using an ultrasonic acoustic signal analyzer. Additionally, a contact module is used to measure performance drops in steam traps and valves.
Field Balancing and Laser Alignment
IDEM Engineering provides both field and workshop balancing services according to ISO standards, performed by qualified inspectors. The company also specializes in cooling tower balancing and alignment, ensuring precision and optimal performance.
