Integrated Monitoring Software Suite Maximizes
Turbo Machinery Availability, Performance and Profitability

PHOENIX, Aug. 11, 2003 - Honeywell Industry Solutions today introduced Turbo Suite, an integrated suite of monitoring, optimization and decision-support software for turbo machinery. The software helps maximize availability and performance of turbo machinery assets vital to offshore platforms, floating production system operations, and liquefied natural gas plants. In these settings, turbo machinery must be operated efficiently and maintained effectively to maximize oil production and meet daily targets.
The software suite improves turbo machinery operation and performance by providing users with benefits such as more-efficient operation, reduced fuel consumption, reduced emissions, increased production, lower life-cycle maintenance costs and improved machinery availability.
Turbo Suite goes beyond traditional turbo machinery performance and condition monitoring. To pinpoint sources of performance degradation and enable proactive maintenance, the Honeywell solution uses rigorous gas turbine, compressor and pump modeling to compare actual performance against expected performance. In addition, combustion diagnostics and life-usage monitoring assist in determining when to carry out maintenance actions.
Turbo Suite architecture is flexible enough to support data from a variety of sources, including Honeywell's Uniformance® PHD and OPC data sources.
This flexibility allows data input from sources such as condition and vibration monitoring systems. As a result, Turbo Suite functions as a centralized data repository for all turbo machinery monitoring applications.
