Shell s Vision & Expectation Promises for Smart Instrument Asset Management (SIAM) Proactive maintenance using actual condition. The device build-in diagnostics (leading indicators) alerts for maintenance Predictive maintenance. The maintenance schedule is optimized on basis of failure rate and drift statistics Provide improved reliability/availability. Copyright of Royal Dutch Shell plc 3 3
Single Diagnostic examples Temperature Flow Level - + TC - + TC Level in blocking distance. Lead wire break Switch over to backup sensor. Empty pipe Total lost of Process value Fouling Dry probe. Copyright of Royal Dutch Shell plc 4 4
Compound Diagnostic examples Position deviation warning High Friction warning Blocked valve 100% Average valve position No process change. Graph information. Plug Wear Time Copyright of Royal Dutch Shell plc 5 5
Who are the users of diagnostics. Operation Responsible for the running Process. Maintenance Responsible for the device availability. Data acquisition Responsible for reliable data (e.g. SAP information). Copyright of Royal Dutch Shell plc 6 6
Operation, Responsible for the running Process Diagnostic Information about process condition. (PVstatus) Additional process information: Empty pipe. Total loss of Process value. Non-additional process information: Switch over to backup sensor. Dry probe. Level in Blocking distance. PV LL Alarm PV HH Alarm Copyright of Royal Dutch Shell plc 7 7
Maintenance, Responsible for the device availability Diagnostic Information about device condition. Action needed! Maintenance action needed: Total loss of Process value. Switch over to backup sensor. Fouling. No Maintenance action needed: Dry probe. Empty pipe. Level in Blocking distance. Copyright of Royal Dutch Shell plc 8 8
Data acquisition, Responsible for reliable data Diagnostic Information about data reliability. Data is unreliable. (not usable) Total loss of Process value Empty pipe Level in Blocking distance. Data (still) reliable. Switch over to backup sensor Dry probe Copyright of Royal Dutch Shell plc 9 9
When to use diagnostic Daily PV status. Avoid plant trips. Before maintenance stop To plan maintenance needs and priorities. Future Optimize maintenance stops/needs. Optimize process conditions. Copyright of Royal Dutch Shell plc 10 10
Collect of diagnostic information. Starting conditions: Spring pressure Cycle dead band Valve signature Operating history: Operation time. Actuator travel. Trends Predictive maintenance. Maintenance history: Make note of the needed maintenance. Make note of the device condition at stops. Copyright of Royal Dutch Shell plc 11 11
