COMPRESS

Our Solution

The objective of COMPRESS is to minimise the immense costs generated by the frequent substitution of pumps, which in turn lead to long downtimes in the production facilities. The specified sources of errors should be reduced through monitoring of the operating pumps in combination with computer-based prediction models for planning optimised maintenance intervals. To that end, it is essential to characterise the relevant operating conditions and wear parts of the submersible pumps and to monitor the operation of the individual pump components using sensors or through the analysis of the operating data. The prevalent environmental conditions present great challenges to the hardware, and for this reason fibre-optic sensors are needed. The innovative core of this project is the technical implementation of intelligent pump monitoring connected to a condition monitoring system, which delivers statistical predictions about the condition of a well pump using machine-learning technology.
