Platinum 2 continuous monitoring system

Why monitor your machinery with a Platinum 2 system?

Windrock’s Platinum™ 2 continuous monitoring system provides in-depth machine condition monitoring to protect critical reciprocating and rotating equipment. Platinum 2 improves safety, increases reliability and availability, and makes cost-effective maintenance decisions for operators.

The Platinum 2 system offers an unlimited combination of data acquisition channels for pressure, vibration, temperature, and displacement. It measures dynamic data and applies the principles of thermodynamics and science to precisely assess machinery condition. The Platinum 2 then takes that rich data set to enable quicker response time to potential events and even generate shutdown signals if warning alarm limits are detected.

Platinum™ Continuous Monitoring System Resources

Premium continuous monitoring for reciprocating machinery

In-depth performance analysis to avoid catastrophic failure

Platinum 2 evaluates power production/consumption, gas throughput, & efficiency and compares the operation against theoretical/OEM designs. Other data includes valve efficiency ratios, load step curve verification, clearance validation and rod load and reversal. Vibration and safety-related parameters are calculated at each rotation tripping onboard relays to proactively shut down a machine if catastrophic failure is imminent.

Determine asset conditions

Automated diagnostics like Leak Index (TM) provide a non-intrusive mechanical evaluation of the health and wear of components including valves, rings, packing, piston liners and rider bands.

Emergency shut-down alarms

Based on customer specified set points for warnings and alarms, Platinum 2 has the capability to send a signal that will shut down a compressor or engine.

Support economic decision making

Measure the efficiency of compressors and related drivers to benchmark your units across stations or enterprises. Using KPIs, make informed decisions on how to reduce fuel/electricity use while maximizing system throughput. Platinum also calculates performance degradation due to part wear/malfunction, which can be used as an economic basis for performing repairs.

MD Optimo™ and enterprise compatible

Compatible with both MD Optimo, formerly known as Windrock MD and Windrock Enterprise, Platinum 2 can also integrate with other control networks and historians, creating a seamless transition between old and new technology for easy operational analysis.
