Nuclear Power Generation Customers Extend Their MIDAS Meter® Use

We were delighted to re-engage with some of our existing USA Nuclear Market owners and deliver a bespoke training course on MIDAS Meter® use and value maximization. Whilst many of our nuclear market customers have been using our technology for simple through-valve leak detection, there is now a real appetite to extract even more value, through leak rate quantification and periodic risk based inspections (RBI), to support leak rate trending over time and the operational advantages that this delivers. Part of this training session focused on consulting on real-life, ongoing valve leakage challenges, currently being experienced by the operators.

With the travel restrictions in place at present, this course was delivered online. A total of 13 delegates from 3 nuclear power plants attended the training and the feedback was excellent. A follow-up practical session – at the customer’s facility – is being lined-up for later in the year to ensure all operators are fully up to speed in the application of the technology and value extraction.

MIDAS® Valve Diagnostics : New Case Study Videos

Score Diagnostics have recently developed a new series of video case studies, to help both our customers and team members alike, gain an insight into some of the key benefits of using the MIDAS Meter® valve condition monitoring device (such as troubleshooting problem valves, non-invasive valve testing inline, avoiding costly alternative valve testing techniques such as pressure build-up tests, pre-shutdown / turnaround planning, flare line loss and emissions reduction, backlog maintenance prioritisation and recovery, maintenance cost reduction, environmental protection, efficiency maximisation, etc).

We encourage you to view these consistently formatted short explanatory videos. We hope you find them to be of interest and value to you and your local customers, whom we recommend you share these resources with, as appropriate.

This latest series of case study videos add to an already extensive range of resources for MIDAS® Valve Diagnostics products and services which are readily available on our YouTube Channel, as well as the media sections on the MIDAS® Valve Diagnostics website. Don’t forget to subscribe / follow, to receive our latest updates as they are released.

Should you have any questions on reviewing these resources, or if you would like further information or a quotation for any of our valve condition monitoring equipment or services, please contact us immediately, by email, at; midas.enquiries@score-group.com  We look forwardPicture1 to hearing from you.

Partnership Agreement Extension Signed – JSC Energomash (Russia)

Score Diagnostics Limited have extended their Partnering relationship in the Russian market with Veliky Novgorod based company JSC Energomash (Part of the NBM Group), to continue to support their existing and potential new customers in the Russian Process Industries Market.

This is the second extension to the Partnership and both parties are looking forward to continuing to develop this trading relationship, which has seen both organizations investing in the local approvals and certification of the MIDAS Meter® to Russian compliance requirements.

Following their recent MIDAS Meter® promotional efforts, JSC Energomash have secured a new contract with a local refinery, which is expected to be delivered in October 2020. Training of customers’ personnel will follow, however, the first part of this may have to be delivered online as a result of the Pandemic and associated travel restrictions.

The refinery team are looking forward to optimizing their valve maintenance, as guided by the condition monitoring results provided by MIDAS Meter® surveys (in line valve testing for through-seat leak detection, quantification and trending over time).

If you are operating in Russia and would like a local demonstration of how the MIDAS Meter® can help deliver valve population performance improvements and increased process uptime and efficiency, please contact us by email at midas.enquiries@score-group.com and we will put you directly in touch with the correct personnel to deliver that.

4C Conference 2020

We received a great flow of traffic to our stand at the 4C Environmental Conference in Austin this year again. Philip and Dave were delighted at the turn out and thoroughly enjoyed catching up with old and new customers alike, discussing how we can help find and address problem valves and providing live demonstrations of our Valve Condition Monitoring Equipment and Systems.

If you didn’t get the chance to speak to Philip or Dave at the event, or if you would just like to know more about the Equipment & Systems we have and what solutions they could offer you,  head over to the Contact Us section on our webpage now and we will get back in touch.4C 2020 -Grouped

Successful MIDAS Meter® Valve Survey Demonstration in Germany

We recently carried out a MIDAS Meter® Demonstration in a process plant in Germany, which delivered another great result.

A Ball valve was set up in the customer’s research and development flowloop and tested at 8 Barg differential pressure. Unknown to our demonstrator, there was also a flow meter installed in the flowloop, which had been integrated to verify the results reported by the MIDAS Meter®.

It was an expected, but nonetheless satisfying, result for both Score Diagnostics Limited and our potential new customer, when the leak rate reported by the MIDAS Meter was almost identical to that measured by the calibrated flow meter.

We look forward to working closely with this new customer moving forward, on their implementation of our MIDAS Meter® technology within their valve management programme.Picture 1

Norwegian Sector North Sea Oil Production Platform’s V-MAP® System Extended

The manufacture and supply of hardware to expand one of our existing Norwegian Sector North Sea Oil Production Platform’s V-MAP® system has been completed with the client’s factory acceptance test (FAT) of the instrumentation cabinet being successfully certified.

On this project, “benchmarking” of the valve and actuator assemblies at the valve manufacturer’s works was also completed, to ensure all valves and actuators were functioning within the customer’s required specifications. This activity has also provided the project with ‘as new’ valve torque and actuator pressure profiles for comparison purposes over the valve assemblies’ life cycles.

Further offshore commissioning activities are scheduled for this project in Q2/Q3 of 2020.

The further expansion of this V-MAP® system again demonstrates our customers’ confidence in our V-MAP® system and the value they are gaining from it when coupled with Score’s extensive valve diagnostics knowledge and support.

Current Best Practices in Valve Condition & Performance Monitoring Seminars

Two private “invitation only” seminars on “Current Best Practices in Valve Condition and Performance Monitoring” were held in India, at the premises of our potential new in-country Partners (at Vadodara and in Mumbai).

Over 25 delegates from their existing customer base and a few of the company’s own personnel attended these sessions, giving us an immediate and very positive platform on which we were able to introduce our products and services.

We have reached agreement in principal on our future relationship and there will likely be an update on this in future news stories.Best Practises - Grouped
