Ammonia Compressor Crisis Averted: Proactive Monitoring Success

The Challenge

A global food processor faced a critical situation when AssetWatch's AI-driven condition monitoring system detected unusual bearing wear in an ammonia compressor, indicating a risk of catastrophic failure. Despite the urgency, service schedules and the comprehensive nature of the necessary repairs posed significant operational and financial risks. This scenario underscored the need for prompt, accurate maintenance interventions in high-stakes industrial environments.

AssetWatch's Condition Monitoring Engineers (CMEs), leveraging AI for end-to-end condition monitoring, played a pivotal role in averting a potential disaster. By analyzing vibration, temperature, and oil quality data in real-time, the CMEs not only identified the problem early but also provided actionable, prescriptive maintenance recommendations.

Their persistent monitoring and collaboration with the client's maintenance team ensured the timely replacement of defective bearings, thus preventing the ammonia compressor from failing and ensuring continuous, safe operation.

AssetWatch's vigilant AI and expert team were instrumental in diagnosing the issue early and guiding us through the necessary steps to prevent a catastrophic failure.
