Compressor packages can be supplied with dedicated controls or integrated into the facility’s existing automation system.
Automation functions can include:
- Automatic compressor start/stop
- Pressure control
- Temperature monitoring
- Flow monitoring
- Lubrication monitoring where applicable
- Cooling-system monitoring
- High-pressure shutdown
- High-temperature shutdown
- Low-pressure protection
- Motor protection
- Emergency shutdown
- Alarm management
- Equipment status monitoring
- Remote monitoring or control where required
PLC and HMI systems can be configured according to the facility’s control architecture.
Offshore Environmental Considerations
Offshore compressor systems may require additional engineering consideration due to:
- Salt-laden atmosphere
- High humidity
- Corrosive environment
- Temperature variations
- Vibration
- Limited maintenance access
- Space constraints
- Hazardous-area requirements
Equipment materials, coatings, electrical equipment, instrumentation and enclosures should be selected according to the actual offshore environment and project specification.
