In 2013, General Engineers, together with General Electric Oil and Gas, were commissioned by a large petrochemical plant to install a monitoring and diagnostic device, in order to improve failure prediction and process performance of their electrical motors and driven equipment. This solution, with its efficient prediction of electrical and mechanical parameters, provided new levels of process reliability and component integrity.

The sophisticated device was installed on the motor’s control panel, acting as an expert system that learns the motor’s behavior: analyzing and continually benchmarking the performance trends to prevent the next potential failure. The General Engineer solution is likewise able to determine if the process is working at peak efficiency, by analyzing long-range behavior. After working for a few months, a detailed report is issued with a detailed action plan for improving performance.
