How to Manage Data of Gas Compressors and Instrumentation

Data collecting systems are described and the faults and problems indicated. Examples are given of the effort to prepare the data for analysis. The data analysis was carried out in collaboration with the University of Bradford, including FMECA, trend analysis and distribution fitting. The results of the analysis were compared with data from the SRS databank and with subjective estimates provided by Gasunie engineers. On the basis of the experience, recommendations are given to increase efficiency of data collection systems.
