Greater Insight for Plant Operations
Extend the value of your PI System for greater insight, contextual relevance, data availability, enhanced analytics, and automated reporting.
Enhancing the PI System for Operational Excellence
Leading energy companies across the production and delivery spectrum rely on the OSIsoft PI System to capture real-time operational data from their equipment. Process Innovations delivers the expert consulting services and advanced visualization, analytics, and data integration tools to help them make the most of their data.
Upstream More than 85% of the world’s top oil and gas companies use the PI System. It sits at the center of digital oilfield operations supporting oil and gas production systems, but also supports maintenance and remote operations functions.
Midstream The PI System helps producers gather, process, and deliver nearly 50% of the world’s natural gas and liquids to end users. High quality PI data facilitates not only rotating equipment reliability but also tracking for performance, gas quality, storage, processing, leak detection and inventory management.
Downstream PI System users produce more than 80% of transportation fuels in the Americas. Real-time operational PI data integration, applications, and analytics help them improve their energy usage, address yields, mitigate hydrocarbon losses, and optimize their fuels value chain.
Process Innovations’ Process Plugins provide advanced visualizations for efficiently managing pumps, turbines, compressors, and other critical equipment required for oil and gas production and delivery.energy

Process Plugins for Oil & Gas Companies
Auxiliary Boiler Efficiency & Condition Monitor
This plugin delivers substantial insight into auxiliary boiler performance. It calculates boiler losses in real time in accordance with ASME PTC 4.1 then compares them to expected losses and overall efficiency.
Cooling Tower Condition Monitor
This PI System plugin provides detailed information for identifying problems with cooling tower operation or physical conditions.
Fuel Gas Orifice Metering Flowrate (AGA Calcs)
This PI System plugin, based upon American Gas Association (AGA) report numbers 3 & 8, calculates gas compressibility (Z) and real time fuel gas flow.
Heat Exchanger Condition Monitor
This plugin performs thermodynamic calculations on the heat exchanger tubes/fins/coils, calculating the real-time duty, heat exchanger effectiveness, heat transfer coefficient, and fluid flows, as appropriate.
Liquid Ring Compressor Condition Monitor
This plugin helps identify liquid ring compressor issues early. It calculates compressor stages, overall pressure ratios, free air delivery (FAD), brake horsepower and both isothermal efficiency and volumetric efficiency metrics in real time then plots the values against reference curves.
Pump Condition Monitor
This tool helps identify pump problems early. It calculates pump efficiency, driver/pump set efficiency, performance factors, suction head, NPSH, discharge head, and total head metrics and plots them against scalable, dynamic reference curves that adjust with pump speed.
