IPU Fuel Cloud Monitoring

CLOUD-BASED MONITORING – THE VIRTUAL BENEFITS

WHY CLOUD-BASED MONITORING?

It’s often the case that sites are huge, or you’re responsible for looking after several of them. It’s impossible to be in several places at the same time and oversee every piece of equipment. That’s where cloud monitoring technology comes into play. Facilities Management companies can (and do) rely on this technology to remotely alert them to:

• Quality of incoming fuel deliveries • Sudden increase in contamination and water content

• Pump starvation / flow loss • Pressure increases

• Specific & common fault warnings It’s well known that on occasions the quality of fuel being delivered to site can vary, even though new fuel should equate with clean fuel. However, this is not always the case and Cloud Monitoring technology can send an alert if fuel quality is not up to standard, avoiding the risk of running your engines on dirty fuel. Cloud based technology is not just the latest ‘fad’ – it is the future. Global cloud-based spending is forecast to reach over £450 billion in 2020. The ability to view data from anywhere in the world will soon become the norm. That’s why cloud-based fuel management, and cloud-based technology fitted on to fuel polishing units should be the new standard.

WHAT BENEFITS CAN CLOUD INTEGRATION OFFER?

• Remote monitoring of system parameters with set alarm triggers:

P,T,Q etc

• Advance notification for service scheduling/filter blockage • Fault diagnosis in advance of downtime • Trend fuel cleanliness in real-time

• Alert to contaminated in-coming fuel deliveries • Advanced notification of fuel deterioration

• Minimise site disruption with only necessary visits, and with the right equipment

CLOUD REAL-TIME FUEL MONITORING – IT’S IPU’S FUTURE

IPU are proud to announce the brand-new Cloud Based Fuel Monitoring Solution as the latest item in their portfolio. The significant advantages this offers to their customers makes it IPU’s most exciting development in 2020, maintaining company values in offering the very best products and in leading the way for the new ‘standard’ in fuel polishing. IPU are now able to provide site operators with the critical connectivity and insight into the condition of stored fuels that they need. Perfect for the power generation, fuel management and critical uptime sectors, this latest innovation is a significant advancement compared to existing fuel condition monitoring portals.

CLOUD MONITORING IN PRACTICE

IPU recently installed a fuel polishing system at a critical, unmanned facility. The operators, based over 300 miles from site, needed to monitor fuel cleanliness remotely and in-real time. They installed the required calibrated sensors and then integrated these into their Cloud portal, giving the customer current, accurate, secure and confidential data.

By monitoring these essential parameters, the following could be controlled:

• The quality of incoming fuel deliveries • Fluctuations in fuel quality over time • Scheduled servicing and maintenance. The customer also managed to save over £250k last year alone, by implementing remote monitoring into their Fuel Management systems.
