partner for diagnosis and of electrical

maintenance

diagnosis of electrical systems in oil&gas industry started in 90's. Since then a growing number of partners exploits our worldwide experience. The core of the approach is based on an innovative technology for on line PARTIAL DISCHARGE (PD) detection and analysis. Other quantities are detected, such as dissolved gas in oil (online DGA), vibrations (online VIB), tano (online

systems. In the last years many economic sectors have been deeply restructured under a wave of competition and privatization. As a result, operators need to be able to face shrinking revenues and limited investment possibilities. Maintenance practices have been, consequently, changed radically. Industries, especially those with very large hourly revenues (e.g., Upstream-oil industry, Midstream Downstream), must have a highly reliable electrical plants to avoid production stops which may imply considerable profit losses. Electrical assets often ensure operation of critical processes in industrial plants: breakdown of such assets may have serious consequences in terms of

As a matter of fact, Techimp on-line monitoring systems represent the ideal and ultimate solution for the Condition Base Maintenance (CBM) of electrical apparatus.

Diagnostic for Oil & Gas Installations

Motors, Pumps, Generators, Cables, Transformers, Switchgears are the most critical components in a electrical subsystem of Oil&Gas Plants and, in fact, their failure is among the first causes for system outages in Offshore Production Platforms, Oil/Gas Fields, Refineries, Petrochemical Plants & Power Generation Plants. After years of advanced researches, laboratory and on-field tests, Techimp has developed an on-line powerful and effective technology which supports the asset manager decisions to manage electrical subsystems in a cost-saving way. Reduction of overall maintenance costs and better diagnostic coverage, exploiting synergies between information provided by different diagnostic techniques and chosen reliability level in monitored systems, are the strength of the Techimp approach. Techimp offers a complete system for on-line condition assessment continuous monitoring of the following parameters: by means of

The excellence of Techimp technology allows the diagnosis of the whole submersible system by means of a unique, compact and powerful acquisition unit installed close to the surface equipment.

Since Partial Discharges are symptoms of degradation of the insulation, the devices hereby described are able to keep the insulation of the electrical systems permanently under control and give an alarm in case PD phenomena become potentially dangerous for any equipment.

Acquisition Unit

A complete set of sensors covering all the possible ranges of applications (PO, DGA, ts, VIB,DTS)

One detector and multiple sensors which provide complementary information, plus on any electrical apparatus a unique global diagnostic output

Measurements can be carried out both on-line with the equipment under test supplied by the electric network and off-line, with the electrical system supplied by an external voltage source. Thus, off-line tests can be carried out only periodically, when the plant operation is stopped. In addition, extra costs, related to the acquisition of the external voltage source, will occur. Therefore, the ideal solution for the prevention of electrical asset failures is on-line monitoring.

For on line Permanent Monitoring, all sensors and the acquisition units are permanently installed, so that a continuous monitoring can be performed. PO, DGA, t8, VIB, DTS are connected to one acquisition unit; an Ethernet or wireless connection allows complete remote supervision and control to be carried out. Artificial intelligence is implemented in the detector able to provide remote alert in case pre-selected conditions are exceeded.

For on line Periodic Assessment, an acquisition unit is connected to permanently installed (or clamped) sensors from time to time. In this case periodic measurements can be carried out without the need of turning the electrical asset out of service. The periodic assessment will be carried out with a frequency based on the state of each apparatus under test. This requires the use of a suitable database, also provided by Techimp.

Insulation breakdown generally is the main cause of outage of electrical apparatus. Degradation phenomena associated with defects existing in the insulation system, introduced during on field assembly of an electrical apparatus or grown by insulation aging, can be diagnosed often by means of Partial Discharge (PO) measurement and analysis.
