Revolutionize the way you monitor and optimize your heat exchanger systems
Digital transformation (DX) has impacted the operations in most processing companies and is now vital to successful process plant operation.
SmartPM connects directly to your data historian to obtain measurements and historical records. It then runs "digital twins" of your heat exchangers, fired heaters, and exchanger networks, computing all operational parameters of the heat exchangers and fired heaters.
By utilizing HTRI's methods based on physical research and predictive AI methods, SmartPM models future fouling and network performances and interacts with the data historian to display past and future performance data to different workgroups.
The ability to rapidly study performance improvements (including heat exchanger cleaning, flow split optimization, and exchanger revamps) provides new insights, allowing for informed decisions that maximize efficiency.
Link to HTRI tools
Experience the seamless integration of SmartPM with Xist® and Xfh® Ultra. This integration empowers you to perform comprehensive evaluations of your heat exchanger and fired heater performance based on real-time monitoring data.
Through integration with the Xist calculation engine, SmartPM can
- synchronize exchanger geometry and physical properties
- create Xist files that are populated with real plant data
- extend monitoring capabilities to additional exchanger types, such as kettle reboilers and electric heaters
- monitor additional parameters linked to potential problems, such as flow-induced vibration and corrosion
SmartPM connects with Xfh Ultra for detailed fired heater modeling. Fired heater monitoring data is used to track performance. Important key performance indicators (e.g., efficiency and bridge wall temperature) can be tracked over time, allowing for proactive issue resolution by optimizing operations and ensuring safety and reliability.
Explore the advantages of proprietary technologies
In addition to the full range of shell-and-tube geometries in Xist, SmartPM can model the past and future performances of exchangers from the following proprietary technologies:
- HELIXCHANGERS® – Availability is subject to a separate, no-cost agreement with our technology licensor Lummus Heat Transfer.
- Spirelf® and Turbotal® tube inserts – Availability is subject to a separate, no-cost agreement with our technology licensor Total Energies.
- EMBaffles – Available to all users without a separate agreement license.
HTRI can also develop and implement custom models for other technologies upon request.
