Why Choose us

Intelligent LNG Solutions

Accelerate safe, reliable LNG operations—from commissioning and LNG to steady-state performance—by unifying asset context, real-time visibility, and analytics across plant systems.

Role-based dashboards and surveillance screens built on a consistent asset model to improve situational awareness across trains, utilities, and loading operations—reducing time to detect and respond.

Role-based dashboards and surveillance views built on a unified asset context, providing real-time visibility across process units, utilities, and loading operations—helping operators detect issues earlier and respond faster.

Event-based and rate-of-change analytics that surface early warning signals during high-risk operations (e.g., cooldown and startups), supporting safer execution and fewer unplanned disruptions.

Operations Surveillance & Visualization

Raw Material Storage Loading and Unloading

BKOAI built PI Vision surveillance dashboards to monitor raw material storage and loading/unloading in real time, including key inventory levels, transfer rates, and equipment status. Standardized views improved operator visibility during receiving, transfer, and staging activities and reduced the risk of handling and routing errors.

Utilities

BKOAI deployed PI Vision dashboards for real-time monitoring of LNG facility utility systems, configuring consistent displays for critical operational parameters, control system values, equipment status, and alarms to support operations and engineering across the site footprint. PI AF Event Frames captured downtime, runtime, and operating cycles, while engineering calculations generated KPIs, improved alarm management visibility, and delivered actionable insights across utilities such as air systems, auxiliary boilers, deaerators, nitrogen, steam, and chemical dosing.

Warm End

BKOAI delivered PI Vision surveillance dashboards for the full warm-end system, integrating essential information—key process parameters, control values, equipment status, and alarms—into a consistent operator surveillance view across warm-end units. PI AF Event Frames and engineering calculations tracked downtime and runtime accurately and provided critical performance context across Acid Gas Removal, Dehydration, Heavy Hydrocarbon Removal, and the Stabilizer for both operations and engineering teams.

Cold End / Cryogenic Equipment

BKOAI delivered PI Vision surveillance dashboards for cold-end and cryogenic systems, providing real-time visibility into critical temperatures, pressures, flows, equipment status, and alarms. Earlier detection of abnormal conditions supported safer cooldown and liquefaction operations and improved operator response.

Rotating Equipment

BKOAI designed PI Vision screens using P&IDs to accurately represent rotating-equipment process flow, including key operating conditions, status, and alarms. Real-time visualization of equipment health and process conditions improved situational awareness, reduced downtime, and enabled faster troubleshooting.

Power Management

BKOAI implemented a PI Vision monitoring suite for site power generation and distribution, tracking electrical load, equipment status, and key alarms in real time. This improved power reliability, enabled faster troubleshooting during upsets, and reduced the risk of disruptions to critical LNG systems.

Commissioning & Data Readiness

BKOAI performed rigorous data quality validation to ensure plant datasets are accurate, complete, and actionable.

Analytics for Reliability & Risk Reduction

Calculations / Complex Analyses

BKOAI used PI AF Event Frames and Notifications to pinpoint key plant events and proactively notify engineers of critical conditions. Event-based context made it easier to understand what happened, when it happened, and how long it lasted—supporting faster response and reduced operational risk.

Fire & Gas Layouts

BKOAI created facility layouts to map Fire & Gas detector locations across the site, allowing engineers to quickly identify the detector associated with an event. This enables faster dispatch of response teams to the correct area and significantly reduces hazardous consequences from fire or gas releases.

3rd Party Modeling

BKOAI leveraged PI AF to feed large datasets into third-party modeling tools. This enables consistent, repeatable calculation of theoretical LNG compositions at scale across changing operating conditions.

Seeq Cooldown Dashboard

BKOAI created a Seeq dashboard to support cooldown operations by issuing alerts when critical thresholds are approached or crossed, including temperature rate of change, top/bottom temperature differentials, and thermal displacement exceedances. These rapid warnings reduced the chance of missed deviation, helping operators complete cooldown more efficiently while maintaining a safer operating window.

How LNG Operators Apply BKOAI in the Field

BKOAI Real-World LNG Use Cases

LNG Plant Operations and Surveillance

BKOAI delivered PI Vision–based Operations Surveillance for a large LNG facility, rebuilding PI AF into reusable templates and a standardized asset hierarchy. The result improved remote visibility, faster anomaly detection, and a scalable foundation to replicate Train 1 for Train 2—aligned with Seeq for a single analytics context.

Maximizing LNG Cooldown Operation Efficiency

BKOAI streamlined monitoring of an LNG cooldown cargo operation, where piping and tanks were cooled from 80°F to −260°F during ship unloading. By deploying a Seeq dashboard that centralized critical parameters and automated threshold alerts, BKO AI enabled a smooth cooldown while minimizing operational risk. Project Duration: 3 months

LNG Commissioning Data Integrity and SIS Alignment

BKOAI streamlined commissioning for an LNG facility preparing its first gas-cooldown cargo by building a unified asset registry and aligning all SIS tags across engineering and operations systems. This ensured data integrity, strengthened safety compliance, and accelerated readiness for LNG production.
