Proactive Check Valve Monitoring with Seeq

BKOAI helps operators protect critical assets by monitoring check valves—key components that prevent reverse flow and support system safety

Goals

Improve visibility into check-valve condition and performance.
Detect potential reverse flow, leakage, and degradation earlier.
Support proactive inspection and maintenance decisions.
Reduce the risk of unexpected check-valve failures.

Challenges

Compressor trips, emergency shutdowns, and temperature changes can create conditions that cause reverse flow.
Repeated exposure to these conditions can accelerate check-valve wear and increase the risk of failure.
Limited instrumentation can make valve leakage and degraded performance difficult to detect.
Operators need a consistent method for identifying potential problems and prioritizing maintenance.

Solutions

Use Seeq to monitor available operating data and identify conditions associated with check-valve leakage or degraded performance.
Detect abnormal behavior early and provide operators with information to support investigation.
Generate reports that connect valve-performance indicators with maintenance and operational priorities.
Provide a repeatable monitoring workflow that can be applied across applicable check valves.

Results

Improved visibility into check-valve condition and performance.
Supported earlier investigation of potential leakage or degradation.
Helped maintenance teams prioritize inspections and corrective action.
Reduced the risk of unexpected valve failures and associated operational disruption.
