Following a series of simulations exploring various potential solutions, two key issues were identified: the bearings and shaft seals did not allow for enough lateral displacement, and the inlet expansion joint needed to tolerate more lateral movement. As a result of these insights, new components were ordered and installed, which successfully resolved the problem.
This experience highlights the value of Akselos Digital Twin technology in solving complex problems and providing real-time, high-fidelity monitoring of operational assets, enabling immediate, informed decision-making.
