.jpg) June 2, 2009 - The release of AMS Suite: Global Performance Advisor extends Emerson’s Online Machinery Monitoring solution for analysis of equipment performance. With AMS Performance Advisor, users can predict performance of assets by identifying, in real-time, performance deterioration of critical machinery. Emerson’s Online Machinery Monitoring solution combines protection, prediction, and performance monitoring with process control leading to improved availability and performance. A key component of the PlantWeb digital plant architecture, the complete solution includes hardware, software and services and is targeted for key equipment, such as compressors, gas turbines, steam turbines, boilers, HRSG, heat exchangers and pumps. Expanding the power of the online monitoring solution, AMS Performance Advisor serves as a complement to AMS Suite: Equipment Performance Monitor, a service-based application that provides expert analysis of equipment performance. Identifying performance degradation of equipment can deliver significant cost savings. For example, if fouling causes a loss in heat rate, more energy will be required to drive the process. By identifying and preventing just one percent of actual energy loss, a plant can save approximately $120,000 annually for every 50 MW of energy. The real-time information available with AMS Performance Advisor helps users pinpoint opportunities for performance improvement that would otherwise go unnoticed. AMS Performance Advisor is the latest addition to Emerson’s AMS Suite of predictive maintenance applications. AMS Suite delivers powerful predictive diagnostics from all areas of the plant – from instruments and valves to rotating equipment and electrical assets. The integration of AMS Suite with enterprise asset management systems ensures that maintenance work is driven by diagnostics in the field instead of schedules, allowing the plant to run more efficiently. AMS Suite provides real-time information that allows users to make more informed and effective decisions that improve business performance. “Monitoring the performance efficiency of turbomachinery identifies ways to drastically reduce energy consumption and improve performance,” said Craig Llewellyn, president of Emerson’s Asset Optimization division. “Emerson continues to add capabilities that enhance asset performance and availablity of critical plant assets to deliver improved financial results.” About Emerson Process Management Emerson Process Management, an Emerson business, is a leader in helping businesses automate their production, processing and distribution in the chemical, oil and gas, refining, pulp and paper, power, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and other industries. Asset Optimization, a division of Emerson Process Management, is a leading worldwide supplier of services and technologies to increase the availability and performance of production assets for improved bottom line results. Asset Optimization plays a key role in Emerson's mission of combining superior products and technology with industry-specific engineering, consulting, project management and maintenance services to help customers achieve the potential of their operations.
