关于客户
Nuovo Pignone 是 100 年前的一家铸造厂，现已成为 GE 石油和天然气业务的关键技术组成部分。如今，GE 业务部门制造的 20,000 多台机器由世界各地的各大公司运营，以保证石油产品从石油钻井平台运输到储存设施、炼油厂和分销点。 GE 石油和天然气佛罗伦萨总部的工程团队广泛使用商业和专有的 CFD 和 CEA 工具来构建和测试产品设计。燃气轮机工程小组设计安装在管道系统或海上用于机械驱动应用的燃气轮机。他们的客户是壳牌和德士古等大型石油公司，在世界各地都有分支机构。
挑战
GE 的石油和天然气业务在其应用程序的作业调度方面面临着重大挑战。燃气轮机工程团队正在升级其高性能计算 (HPC) 资源，从 8 个 CPU UNIX 服务器迁移到运行 Red Hat Linux 的 20 个 CPU HP ProLiant 380 集群。然而，他们在使用开源代码进行作业调度时遇到了意想不到的困难。这种情况变得越来越难以管理，导致生产延误。小组负责人 Alessandro Ciani 的任务是将集群投入生产，但对延误感到沮丧。情况紧急，需要一个解决方案来确保系统能够投入生产。
解决方案
Altair 是一家提供产品开发、高性能计算和数据智能解决方案的全球科技公司，我们接受了该公司的委托，要求其提供解决方案。 Altair 建议试用其 PBS Professional® 工作负载管理软件，而不是进行标准演示。该集成工作负载管理解决方案针对运行 StarCD 应用程序进行了优化。 GE 工程团队很快就能够充满信心地提交和管理其 StarCD 工作负载。试点取得成功后，GE 的石油和天然气业务部门为集群中的所有 CPU 购买了 PBS Professional 许可证，并聘请 Altair 将其其他应用程序集成到 PBS Professional 集群中。通过添加异构节点来扩展集群，集群中的所有 90 个处理器以及相应的应用程序许可证均通过 PBS Professional 进行高效管理。

Case Study
Taking Oil and Gas Exploration to the Next Level
DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) wanted to increase computing performance by 5 to 10 times to improve seismic processing. The solution must build on current architecture software investments without sacrificing existing software and scale computing without scaling IT infrastructure costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.

Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless
One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.
