Applications

Balance-of-Plant Condition Monitoring

In addition to the process-critical equipment assets found in industrial facilities, there are often a host of essential and auxiliary assets that make up the balance of the plant such as pumps, motors, blowers, heat exchangers, fans, and others. This equipment may be spared or unspared, and its impact on the process stream may vary from moderate to minor. Regardless, such machines – just like their “critical” counterparts – can benefit from condition monitoring. Bently Nevada offers affordable, effective portable and permanent condition monitoring systems for BOP assets.
