SmartPM™ Features

Using HTRI's detailed methods, SmartPM tracks key operating performance indicators of exchangers and fired heaters, going beyond other non-rigorous performance monitoring software. Operators can see holistic views of their systems' performance, visible within SmartPM or view results within the plant data management system (through two-way linkage with SmartPM).

Advanced, research-based AI prediction capabilities bring a new level of precision to fouling rate estimation by considering key factors, such as

• surface temperature
• flow conditions
• stream chemistry
• surface material

With this cutting-edge methodology, you gain valuable insights into fouling behavior, allowing you to optimize maintenance schedules, enhance operational efficiency, and extend the run times of your facility.

Data-driven insights improve cleaning strategies, minimize downtime, and maximize operational efficiency. With SmartPM, you can ensure that each unit and exchanger receive the attention it needs by evaluating and prioritizing the cleaning schedule.

By tracking surface temperatures with precision, SmartPM enables early detection of potential corrosion hotspots, allowing you to take timely, preventative measures. The integration between SmartPM and Xist allows you to

• monitor exchangers using detailed 3D graphs
• track vibration levels
• identify potential issues that could impact performance and reliability

With this comprehensive approach, you can proactively address concerns, optimize maintenance interventions, and maintain optimal operational conditions.

Energy intensive industries are continuously adapting to tighter regulations, the growing need for social and environmental responsibilities, and technological advances. Additionally, these industries now must comply with strict environmental registries aimed at reducing emissions in line with the Global Methane Pledge (launched at COP26). Saving energy and emissions is essential for responsible and profitable operation.

With SmartPM, you can perform timely and crucial analysis by identifying and eliminating waste through the standardization of tools, reducing lost time in data processing and facilitating collaboration between different work groups throughout the organization.

Take a look at our Case Studies with TotalEnergies and ENEOS to see how these leading companies are using SmartPM to be more environmentally responsible.

Flow split adjustment capabilities optimize your operations by minimizing fouling and enabling precise control of critical stream temperatures. Fine-tuning the distribution of flows within networks demands accurate calculation of heat duties and pressure drops. HTRI's proprietary methods ensure that each stream receives the ideal flow rate, mitigating fouling risks and enhancing heat transfer performance.
