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.
