MIDAS Meter® “Surveys as a Service”

Untitled

Gain all the benefits of Valve Condition and Performance Monitoring, for minimum investment.

It is entirely normal and expected that you have to spend a little when you want to save a lot. A new project where you know that a modest investment can deliver a massive return sounds like it would be easy to get a budget for, however… When CAPEX (Capital Expenditure) budgets are not readily available, it’s easy to assume that all the desired benefits of your new initiative or project are going to be missed out on. Not so. Looking towards funding the project from the OPEX (Operating Expenditure) budget can sometimes still deliver most of the project value.

Score Diagnostics is delighted to announce the launch of the MIDAS Meter® “Surveys as a Service” initiative, for valve condition and performance monitoring and reporting.

Valve surveying / monitoring delivers savings in operating costs, minimisation of operational risks and maximisation of reliability, efficiency and profits. If you cannot afford to buy a MIDAS Meter®, but still want the benefits – just choose the “survey as a service” option.

For more information on this exciting new service, click here to view our new flyer or read our case study where our customer was able to save £340,000 following investment in a MIDAS Meter® survey that cost less than £20k.

image003-1024x662

On Wednesday 16th and Thursday 17th March, Score Diagnostics exhibited at the Topsides UK Conference and Exhibition, held at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre.

As the UK and Europe’s first and only Topside focussed conference and exhibition, Topsides UK was organised to provide the marketplace for contractors, service companies, equipment manufacturers and the North Sea’s leading operators of existing assets to learn how to work together. Through this platform, the intention was for these groups to focus on ways of improving production whilst lowering costs.

Score Diagnostics was delighted to welcome many visitors to the stand, including Aberdeen City Lord Provost, George Adam, who enjoyed a live product demonstration of the Midas Meter. Over the course of the exhibition, visitors were shown how the Midas® range of valve condition & performance monitoring equipment and systems delivers a new opportunity to safely reduce costs, improve efficiency and minimise downtime, through live product demonstrations of the Midas® Meter, Midas® Sensor and V-MAP G3 system.

During the Conference Dave Anderson, Sales and Marketing Director for Score Diagnostics, delivered a paper titled “Valve Condition & Performance Monitoring – Why Bother?” – focusing on case studies which highlight real benefits delivered by valve condition and performance monitoring. The paper was very well received by those in attendance.

MIDAS Meter® Training Course Recently Enhanced

Image-2-1024x683

MIDAS Meter® owners can receive the best return on their investment by training their technicians on the best practice and use of this technology. The recently enhanced MIDAS Meter® training course, which is delivered by fully qualified and experienced Score personnel, is a blended combination of both theoretical and practical based learning.

The theory elements of the training course cover the acoustic emissions (AE) surveying technique, safe operation, survey methods and procedures as well as maintenance of the MIDAS Meter® and PDA equipment.

The hands-on element of the course gives delegates the opportunity to use the equipment in a safe classroom environment and gain practical experience of basic valve surveying procedures for leak detection, quantification, reporting, and monitoring activities including performance trending, by using the MIDAS Meter® on a small valve manifold. The recommended 2 day course also provides the opportunity for delegates to have a supervised on-site practical application and coaching session for best results, as well as enhanced data management tutoring.

The course covers the generation of standardised survey results reports, using the supplied Communicator™ Software, which means it provides an excellent introduction for maintenance personnel who are responsible for the safe, environmentally friendly and efficient operation of process plant and specifically valves.

The recently enhanced training course has been very well received by recent trainees, with the following feedback being given:

  • “Good mix of theory and practical”
  • “Well presented and knowledgeable”
  • “Great knowledge shown by the instructor – nice and friendly”
  • “Very nice training and gaining good knowledge”
  • “Made the course enjoyable, good information”
  • “Course instructor was spot on and had great knowledge on Midas Meter and valves”For more information on the Midas Meter and enhanced training course, visit www.midasmeter.com or email us usingmidas.enquiries@score-group.com
