Bently Nevada announced today that ExxonMobil, the world’s largest oil company, has named Bently Nevada as global supplier of products and services for their Equipment Health Monitoring (EHM) program. EHM is a methodology that uses automated monitoring instrumentation for assessing the mechanical condition of rotating equipment, and combines this equipment health information with information from the process control system. The combination is more powerful than using only process data or only rotating equipment data, allowing operators and others to make better decisions regarding how the process is operated and its effect on equipment assets. When applied properly, EHM can reduce overall maintenance costs, unplanned outages, and equipment failures while increasing process and machine availability and reliability.
