Offshore Production & Processing
The unique offshore environment places a high demand on equipment reliability and performance. With limited resources, and long delivery lead times, proper planning is essential. Offshore facilities cannot afford to waste time and effort working on the wrong problem.
How PlantTriage Helps
PlantTriage software monitors real-time data from 100% of control
loops, 24 hours a day. Based on criteria that you have set, the PlantTriage Performance
Supervision System scans the entire process, finds the important
information, filters it based on your needs, and notifies you
directly. PlantTriage detects and prioritizes:
- Instrument Failures
- Equipment Mechanical Problems
- Controller Performance Issues
- Process Interactions

Case Studies
Seeing it All
PlantTriage's Dashboard displays concentrated information so that you can
see at a glance exactly what information you want. Because the
information is provided in a web browser interface, you can get all
this information from your desktop computer. For example, the
TreeMap, shown here, is a new, powerful visualization tool
that helps focus your attention on the "Hotspots".

Reduced Maintenance Costs
PlantTriage automatically detects instrument and valve failures, as soon as the symptoms become visible. The results are displayed in easy-to-understand reports. Reports can be emailed automatically when issues are discovered. PlantTriage also uses your economic information to help prioritize the work.
Equally important, PlantTriage tools help to confirm diagnostics, so you do not waste time working on the wrong problem. Armed with better information, you can plan more accurately. Many PlantTriage customers see a dramatic reduction in control system maintenance costs.
Knowing What to Do About It
PlantTriage® reports also provide specific advice on corrective actions. In fact, many equipment issues can be handled without replacement parts. PlantTriage, and our training program help to keep production at full rate.
Tools to help you in your job:
Powerful, award-winning, state-of-the-art control loop analysis
tools are included with PlantTriage. Control Engineers have every
possible advantage to identify process models, tune control loops,
diagnose instrument and valve problems.
Remote (On-Shore) Access
PlantTriage is completely web-enabled. Process and equipment data, including real-time trends, can be viewed from anywhere on your secure company network.
Access to Experts
Your internal company experts can have immediate access to offshore data. This helps to solve problems much more quickly, and with significantly reduced costs.
Furthermore, you have access to ExperTune's global expert resource network. These experienced engineers can rapidly solve problems any time you need them.
When experts can solve problems remotely, the problems get solved faster. The savings from even a single problem can more than pay for the cost of PlantTriage.
Maintaining Security
With its secure web-browser access, PlantTriage® keeps end
users and their heavy data demands off of the control network.
Optional Shadow Server technology
can be applied for an even greater measure of security.
Gaining Alignment
No matter what your role, you don't run the refinery by yourself. Many other people are
involved in making decisions that affect production, maintenance,
finances, and quality. PlantTriage and PID Tuner provide
out-of-the-box reporting tools that help you to make your case. You
can even e-mail these reports directly to you, export data to Excel
for further analysis or to include in a presentation. This helps
everyone to see the problem as you see it, and makes gaining alignment
faster than ever.
Control Loop Optimization
PlantTriage includes a copy of ExperTune PID Tuner/Analyzer,
repeatedly recognized by users as the #1 controller tuning software
package. This includes tools for PID Tuning, Linearization, and
Optimization.
