Performance tests and diagnostics for any customer requirements
Equipment and plant performance tests may be carried out for different purposes and is related to machine history, maintenance schedules and running time, i.e.:
- Preliminary performance tests on plants during the start-up stage
- Warranted contract performance tests
- Tests on machinery and plants for monitoring performance and establishing corrective action to enhance performance
- Performance tests in normal operating conditions for production planning and cost optimization
- Performance diagnostics before and after maintenance services
SINT Technology is able to provide comprehensive customer assistance at all stages of testing and performance analysis:
- Study and preparation of the thermodynamic model of the machine or plant
- Customer assistance in preparing the final inspection specification, interpretation of contract requirements and application of ISO/ASTM/DIN international standards
- Calculation of uncertainties in measurement
- Analysis and application of quality control specifications for plant components supplied by third parties (customer, suppliers, consortium partners, etc.)
- Performance testing design: definition of measurement points, selection of instrumentation, study of data acquisition systems
- Supply and installation of all calibrated and certified instrumentation necessary for inspection and testing: wattmeters, pressure-temperature-flow measuring probes, continuous data acquisition and logging HW/SW systems
- Performance of testing with our own specialists, coordination and organization of all parties involved in testing
- Analysis of results and calculation of performance in all reference conditions. Comparison of measured performance against warranted values
- Customer support in diagnosis of any nonconformities to design performance and assistance with troubleshooting
