Applications

Engineering applications across real compressor operation

From performance diagnostics to optimization and predictive maintenance, CMap supports engineering decisions across the centrifugal compressor lifecycle.

Operational value

Where CMap creates value

CMap turns corrected performance prediction into practical engineering insight for real plant operation, supporting decisions that affect reliability, efficiency and availability.

Diagnostics

Performance analysis

Evaluate centrifugal compressor behavior under actual operating conditions instead of relying on design-condition assumptions.

Maintenance

Performance-based maintenance support

Identify efficiency degradation trends and support maintenance planning using objective performance deviation analysis.

Protection

Anti-surge verification

Verify expected compressor behavior and surge-related operating limits when inlet conditions and gas composition change.

Troubleshooting

RCA and investigations

Support inspections, anomaly analysis and root cause investigations with expected-versus-measured performance evidence.

Optimization

Compression plant optimization

Analyze alternative operating scenarios and support efficiency improvement, load sharing and plant operating strategy evaluation.

Flaring reduction

Zero-flaring analysis

Support operating strategies aimed at recovering available compression margins and reducing unnecessary flaring events.

Engineering

Revamping and debottlenecking

Assess compressor capability under new process conditions and support plant upgrade, revamping and capacity studies.

Commercial support

Compressor selection support

Assist technical evaluation during compressor selection, purchase, sale or operational re-assessment using consistent performance predictions.

Correct comparison

Reliable decisions require a reliable reference

Measured compressor performance can only be evaluated correctly when compared against expected values calculated at the same operating conditions.

  • Actual gas mixture, suction pressure and suction temperature are considered.
  • Expected performance maps are calculated for the same operating context.
  • Field measurements can then be compared against the correct baseline.
  • Deviation indicators become meaningful for diagnostics and maintenance decisions.
