Overview
The Sentinel for Compressors is a comprehensive solution designed to meet the protection and control requirements of centrifugal and axial compressors, both in stand-alone and networked configurations, combining specific safety requirements, high-speed control strategies, and sequencing of each train. compression, with the global requirements of machine integration, production strategies, monitoring facilities, information supervision and centralization.
CompressorSentinel consists of algorithms for anti-surge control (“Anti-surge”), Surge Detection (“Surge-detector”), load sharing (“Load sharing”) and capacity control (“Capacity control”).
The solution CompressorSentinel is based on current API, ANSI/ISA, and IEC standards, as well as the requirements of equipment manufacturers’ safety standards. Also, CompressorSentinel runs on commercial platforms of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) for control and sequencing, and on TÜV-certified programmable electronic systems (PES or safety PLC) that comply with IEC-61508 for process safety. The system architecture can be adjusted to meet the required Safety Integrity Level (SIL) and the availability of your process.
