Digital insights into critical heat-exchanger operation
OMNI is a digital platform designed to improve critical heat-exchanger performance. OMNI can predict fouling and operational issues, prevent unscheduled outages and prolong runtimes and asset life, says the manufacturer. The platform combines water- and process-side data, which are run through a secure, Microsoft-powered calculation engine. The data are analyzed in realtime, while a team of engineers monitor the data continuously for irregularities. The information is displayed on a powerful dashboard that provides realtime access to the assets across an organization. An onsite simulation system matches the exact conditions of users’ heat exchangers to provide a realistic view of conditions. Lastly, this company’s audit team reviews the entire plant annually to monitor the overall health of the complete water system. Booth 202 — Nalco Water, an Ecolab Company, Naperville, Ill.
