Thread Content
Today, the syngas compressor for methanol production stopped working, and the reason for this isn’t clear. The specific details shown by WOODWARD 505 are as follows: 1. The alarm indicates a turbine trip. 2. The reasons for the trip are: A. shutdown due to controlling parameters; B. the previous trip was triggered by an external signal; C. the peak hold value is 11523, and the reset hold value is Yes/No
External shutdown of the machine – there are many possible causes! We have encountered similar situations of shutdown, and after checking using SOE, we found that the issue was related to poor contact at the local button used for shutdown; after replacing the button, the machine operated normally. You can use other monitoring systems to conduct a comprehensive analysis.
