Key benefits
Safety:
The module design complies with the IEC-61511 functional safety standard, featuring a dedicated safety instrumented system equipped with its own sensors and actuators to provide an independent safety layer. Key safety features include:
- Hydrogen detection and monitored ventilation to mitigate risks from potential leaks.
- Smoke and fire detectors for early hazard identification.
- Safety software and hardware designed to prevent issues such as overpressure, overtemperature, leaks, and other critical operational anomalies.
Reliability:
- Global Monitoring System (GMS): Operational data since 2015 providing valuable insights for component statistics and predictive maintenance.
- High-Resolution Time Series Data: GMS capturing critical process data with resolutions up to 100 datapoints per second.
- Edge Devices enabling faster processing for tasks such as hydraulic measurements during compression cycles.
- Vibration Sensors: Continuously monitoring operations to detect and address potential issues early.
User Experience:
- With dimensions of 2200x3300 mm, this module boasts the smallest footprint in the industry relative to its capacity.
- Simple inspection and maintenance work on the roof are possible due to integrated fall down protection.
