Overview
Improving Plant Profitability
Leveraging our 150+ years in process machinery design, manufacture, and operation, ITT Monitoring and Control has one goal - Improving the profitability of your plant. Our products and services target your biggest issues of process uptime, maintenance, and energy costs.
Our ProSmart systems provide continous, predictive monitoring for all of your rotating equipment at an exceptionally low price. With ProSmart, the focus of you Predictive Maintenance Program (PdM) can change from data collection to analysis and improvement activities. In addition, by continously monitoring your equipment, ProSmart can proactively warn you of onsetting machinery problems.
PumpSmart pump control systems provide real-time control and protection of your centrifugal pumps while also providing valuable process insight. By protecting against unplanned pump failure due to process upsets, we can keep your process running longer and eliminate unplanned repair activities. By Right-Sizing your pumps to your system, we can reduce not only your energy consumption, but the wear and tear on your process system.
Our Performance Services team can help you identify and quantify the opportunities for improvement that exist in your plant.
Uptime
Our Goal: Eliminating Unplanned Downtime
Unplanned downtime impacts profitability more than just the increased repair costs; it limits the amount of product you can sell and it diverts the attention of your team from more pressing issues. In some cases, the total financial impact of an unplanned equipment failure can be in excess of 10x the basic cost to repair the machine. Our products and services aim to increase your total process uptime, by preventing unplanned downtime.
Our Approach
Preventing Failures - Like a chain reaction, process upsets can propagate failure throughout your entire system. With our PumpSmart pump control systems; we prevent equipment failures by recognizing these upset conditions and then either warning operators of the issue, or by automatically controlling the pump to a safe operating state.
Tracking Condition - By monitoring your equipment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, our ProSmart system are there to capture the first onset of a machinery condition failure. With advanced analysis features built in at the field level, ProSmart can provide you the key information needed to plan your repair.
Maintenance
Our Goal: Reducing Maintenance Costs
Our Approach:
Improving Equipment Life - Oversized pumps not only negatively impact their own reliability, they accelerate the wear and tear on all of the surronding components. Check valve slamming, control valve erosion, broken pipes; all are cause by excess energy being released from the system. Excess energy inserted by oversized pumps. By Right-Sizing your pumps, PumpSmart can make all of your plant equipment last longer. Our Performance Services team can help pinpoint these systems to provide the greates return on investment.
Planning Maintenance - Almost without exception; the cost to repair a piece of machinery is higher when it fails unexpectedly and requires unplanned repair. Our ProSmart systems help you plan your maintenance activities by warning you of accelerating failures that require immediate attention, and reducing unessary preventive maintenance activities that could introduce more failure potential than they fix.
Energy
Our Goal: Reducing Your Energy Costs
Our Approach:
Flow Economy - Like Fuel Economy in your auto; Flow Economy relates how effectively your pump is working compared to the energy it is consuming. With this simple metric, we can help better size your pumps and provide you with real-time information about how your system is operating. By helping you control your pump systems better, we can reduce the energy consumptions of your pumping systems by up to 50%.
