OptiComp Integrated Compressor Train Control Suite


OptiComp is GE’s newest evolution of compressor control software for axial and centrifugal compressors. Optimizing your process efficiency while controlling and enhancing protection for your Compressor—that’s what OptiComp is designed to accomplish.

GE’s OptiComp compressor control solution is the culmination of decades of OEM experience with over 600 installations controlling centrifugal and axial compressors in many oil and gas applications around the world.

 

Features & Benefits

Protection
•    Reduced Polytropic Head vs. Reduced Inlet Volume Flow calculations for varying conditions
•    Rate Control, Boost & Normalization of valve response as function of pressure ratio/gas properties
•    Advanced surge detection & OptiComp BN vibration monitoring option
•    Boost open loop response for improved compressor flow when beyond SCL
•    Anti-surge control PID positions recycle valve for stable operation on  SCL
Stability & Uptime
•    Suction & discharge pressure override control utilizes recycle valve
•    Diagnostics for process signals & fallback strategies for failed transmitter inputs
•    Decoupling driver & compressor reduces trips & process swings
Efficiency
•    Parallel/Series Loadsharing parameter based on compressor & driver
•    Calculations using real gas properties for evaluating train efficiency
Simplification
•    Integration of motor/gas/steam turbine controls in simplex, duplex & TMR
•    Decoupling algorithms for coordinated turbine & compressor control
•    Simplified troubleshooting, maintenance & repair
Flexibility
•    Core control responses for every application
