Process, energy and resource optimisation through analyser performance management

3 ways how KROHNE can help you save your energy consumption:

Optimising process analysers—such as gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers, and emissions monitoring systems—is essential for quality control and sustainability. In speciality chemical production, for instance, gas chromatographs ensure product purity. Any deviation can lead to off-spec products, wasting materials and energy. KROHNE’s CalSys Analyser Management and Data Acquisition System (AMADAS) optimises these critical instruments, supporting efficient operations, reducing waste, and advancing sustainability.

Why is this important?

In a chemical plant, analyser drift can lead to inaccuracies that result in scrapped batches, wasted resources, and downtime. CalSys mitigates these risks by centralising analyser management, predicting failures, and optimising maintenance, ensuring consistent, reliable analyser performance that prevents waste and enhances overall efficiency.

How does KROHNE’s CalSys AMADAS help?

CalSys is designed to enhance the performance, availability, and predictive maintainability of a wide range of process analysers and other critical instruments. Here’s how it works:

Automated and optimised analyser management

CalSys centralises the management of all analyser instruments, guiding validation processes and streamlining maintenance tasks to ensure maximum efficiency.

Predictive maintenance and abnormal behaviour detection

The system uses advanced analytics to predict and detect abnormal behaviour in analysers, enabling better maintenance scheduling and reducing unexpected downtime.

Data insights and process optimisation

CalSys provides deep insights into the performance, availability, and maintainability of instruments, allowing operators to make informed decisions that optimise resource use and energy efficiency.

Contribution to Sustainability

  • Resource optimisation : By enabling precise control of manufacturing processes, CalSys reduces waste of materials, energy, and other resources, supporting more sustainable operations.

  • Energy efficiency: The system identifies energy-saving opportunities in manufacturing, enhancing sustainability efforts.

  • Analyser lifecycle management: Integrated data analytics track analysers throughout their lifecycle, ensuring effective use, proper maintenance, and maximum uptime with stable, accurate measurements.

Further Benefits

  • Efficient workflow : CalSys streamlines analyser communication, user interaction, and procedural guidance, improving efficiency and resource utilisation.

  • Real-time monitoring and alerts : The system offers real-time monitoring with alerts for anomalies, minimising disruptions and improving uptime.

  • Maintenance and reporting : CalSys predicts and detects abnormal analyser behaviour, schedules maintenance and calibration, and provides KPIs for availability, ensuring optimal analyser performance.

  • Content management : A built-in content management system offers access to manuals and procedures, supporting detailed reporting on analytical performance and maintainability.

The solution for operational excellence and sustainability

In the context of a chemical plant, maintaining the performance and reliability of process analysers is critical to both operational success and sustainability. CalSys supports operators in achieving these objectives by offering a comprehensive toolset for monitoring, analysing, and improving the performance of analyser and quality measurement instruments. This not only leads to better product quality and increased efficiency but also reduces waste and emissions, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable operation.

KROHNE’s CalSys AMADAS is a powerful tool for chemical plants aiming to achieve operational excellence while also driving sustainability. By optimising the performance of critical analysers, CalSys helps reduce waste, improve energy efficiency, and ensure that resources are used effectively, making it an essential component of any modern, sustainable chemical operation.

KROHNE’s CalSys system supports sustainability in manufacturing by optimising resources, identifying energy-saving opportunities, and preventing analyser downtime with predictive maintenance. By providing accurate lifecycle data and real-time monitoring, CalSys ensures analysers operate reliably and efficiently, reducing waste and minimising environmental impact. Through advanced workflow automation and content management, KROHNE empowers operators with the tools to maintain efficient, sustainable operations with reduced service needs and greater overall resource efficiency.
