PROGNOST®-NT: Reliable Compressor Monitoring Technology

The world's only on-line monitoring and diagnostic system for reciprocating piston compressors that records and analyzes machine data in real-time, and compares them using pattern recognition based on actual experience. This gives operators real-time, plain text information about impending problems and their causes, and it means that each machine being monitored with PROGNOST®-NT can be shut down quickly and safely, while avoiding inadvertent shutdowns.

The monitoring units specially designed for PROGNOST Systems, its modular system structure, a user-friendly user interface, and uncomplicated machine diagnostics permit users to configure systems individually by combining the features of each specific machine.

Another important aspect is the very high degree of standardization in all of the applications. PROGNOST® products use standardized interfaces and data protocols throughout, including remote access applications. This means that the system can be seamlessly integrated as an “intelligent component” into existing data processing environments of SPS, DCS, Ethernet and ERP applications.

PROGNOST®-NT installations around the globe provide support for machine operators, maintenance technicians, and plant managers, helping them to operate their reciprocating piston machines safely and economically.
