Dynamic Package Control will work with all reciprocating compressors makes/models and has a two-year exclusivity for Waukesha Engine. It has been designed to work with any compressor and engine combination, so following the period of exclusivity, it will work for all engine and reciprocating compressor combinations.

SkidIQ Adapt is a patented solution developed collaboratively by Detechtion and Waukesha Engine. It uses real-time data and digital twin technology to optimize compressor package performance, reducing downtime, increasing utilization, and lowering operating costs.

Traditional systems uses static setpoints based on limited set of process variables for compressor control. SkidIQ Adapt uses real-time measured and calculated variables (e.g., rod loads, volumetric efficiencies) for dynamic adjustments, allowing compressors to operate within a wider and safer range.

It continuously monitors critical variables and dynamically adjusts driver speed, suction valve, and recycle valve positions to prevent shutdowns during low-capacity conditions, keeping compressors running in fluctuating field conditions.

High-Capacity Response adjusts suction control when variables such as driver load, engine IMAT, or rod loads exceed their set point range. Low-Capacity Response adjusts speed and activates bypass valves to prevent shutdowns during low gas volumes when variables such as low volumetric efficiencies or low suction pressures exceed their set points.

By responding to real-time performance data, SkidIQ Adapt operates compressors at optimal capacity, maximizing production and minimizing unnecessary shutdowns while extending the safe operating range.

SkidIQ Adapt optimizes compressor operations during periods of low gas volumes, reducing fuel consumption and emissions. It ensures compressors run more efficiently and minimizes flaring or venting, helping operators meet environmental regulations.

Yes. Depending on the make and model of your existing control system, SkidIQ adapt will either replace your existing control system entirely, or can be implemented as "Shared Control." In the shared control, your existing controller may continue to perform transient control (start/stop) while SkidIQ Adapt performs steady-state control. 

Detechtion will advise on the solution throughout the discovery process. 

Reciprocating Compressor, Waukesha Engine, Actuated Suction Control Valve and Bypass Control Valve. 

The digital twin models real-time compressor performance, calculating metrics like rod loads, cylinder blowby and volumetric efficiencies, which are used within the control logic and serve as useful analytics for operations teams to further optimize performance of equipment, and identify preventative maintenance opportunities.
