Ultrapure Water  Power plants use ultrapure water to make steam, semiconductor manufacturers to wash chips and pharmaceutical manufacturers for making drugs for human injection.  Purifying water to meet these rigid requirements requires complex processes and expensive chemicals.  IIoT and Remote O&M provide the opportunity to better maintain water quality while reducing operating costs.  Since the manufacturing environments are also complex it will be necessary to integrate ultrapure water IIoT with the plant wide IIoT.  Remote monitoring is already routine for gas turbine generation plant operators. So adding ultrapure water is a logical progression. Coal fired and nuclear power plants, chip makers and pharmaceutical producers are going to embrace IIoT and will be expecting the contribution of the Industrial Internet of Wisdom (IIoW) by ultrapure water system and component suppliers.

Treatment Chemicals  Most treatment chemicals suppliers are first of all knowledge and service companies and only secondarily are they suppliers of basic chemicals. With IIoT and Remote O&M these solutions providers can provide better service and reduce the travel and on site costs of their personnel.  Suppliers such as Kurita and Nalco have performance measurement software which allows them to supply the optimum amounts of chemicals. Nalco has a remote control center which operates 24/7. GE water is now part of Suez which has a worldwide remote control center in France. Some of the wastewater treatment suppliers such as Alfa Laval, GEA, and Andritz have optimization systems which need to be integrated with the supply of chemicals. The IIoW (Wisdom) to empower IIoT will turn sensor performance data into action items for treatment chemicals suppliers.  This should result in new chemicals and better tailoring of chemicals to each application.

Mining  The mining IIoT and remote O&M webinar on Thursday revealed a major transition  toward IIoT.  Rio Tinto already has driverless machinery,  trains and vehicles and is developing automated processing plants.  The company envisions the day when nearly all its personnel are in Perth. It says the system will function as if it had a  brain the size of an iron ore province. This brain is comprised of  parts involving knowledge around  every piece of process equipment, pump, valve and fan. It includes the knowledge to best supply chemicals, filter media and other consumables.

Whether it is mining or coal fired power the functioning of the brain will be the key to success.  However, the anatomical differences between Einsteins brain and  that of the village idiot are negligible.  Is it possible that too much confidence is being placed in IIoT and not enough attention is being paid to the Industrial Internet of Wisdom ( IIoW). It is a big step forward to interconnect every sensor but what about interconnecting people.  Whether it is the mining industry or Power there are many thousands of people with unique niche expertise . In our world of silos there is much knowledge about the product and much knowledge about the process to which it will be applied but less knowledge about the optimum use of the product for each specific application.  There is even less knowledge of how a product can shape an application.

Two participants in the webinar on Thursday demonstrated that they are tearing down the silos between product and application.  Howden has complete solutions for mine ventilation. Solenis is using extensive process knowledge to optimize mining processes with their chemicals.

Howden is part of Colfax.  Over the last few decades Howden has acquired one fan company after another to become the worlds largest supplier.  Fans are critical to underground mining operations. Safety depends on minimizing CO levels. However fan energy is an important cost.  With IIoT a system can be designed with air quality and flow  sensors at every critical point in the mining. Multiple fans , each with variable speed drives, can vary the flow to and from  each point in the mine.  The variables caused by entry of vehicles and people can be taken into account in a software program which optimizes energy consumption while keeping  personnel safe and healthy. This system needs the expertise of mining ventilation engineers who thoroughly understand process variables.  So the question is who should put all this together. Cisco Connected Mining has a program but how close is its brain to the Einstein ideal? Howden has lots of fan experience but was not content to be a sub contractor.  It bought a software company (Simsmart) with the mining expertise.  It hired 15 ventilation engineers and has eliminated the silos between product and application. It provides the sensors, the software, the fans, drives and other components and provides an ongoing solution with 24/7 monitoring.

Revenues for the ventilation fans and repair parts over two decades may be X.  The revenue from a smart ventilation solution could be 3X or maybe even  6X. If the profits from fan and part sales are Y, the profits from total solutions could be 6y or even 12Y.

Solenis has made a big commitment to understanding mining processes and developing chemical treatment programs . One example is a gold mining operation in the Western U.S.  A thorough review of the existing process which was plagued with scale deposition led to the recommendation and use of Zalta™ anti scalants.  The downtime was considerably reduced and profits increased by $ 2 million per year.  Solenis recognizes the potential for remote O&M and is well positioned to further leverage its process knowledge for continuous support.

The webinar reviewed the offerings of software, component, chemical and equipment companies.  They included ABB, Andritz, BAGGI , Cisco, Eaton, Emerson,  Evoqua, F.L. Smidth, Grundfos,  Honeywell, Howden, ITT, Kemira, Nalco, Siemens,  Solenis, Source One, Symboticware and Xylem. Each has the opportunity to take a bigger slice of the pie.

Andritz has developed Brainwave for optimizing its flotation and thickening equipment.  Evoqua and Eaton each has a large number of products which if the silos are eliminated will provide.

Source One provides sourcing as a service for a range of components including filters and chemicals.  When all the components are continuously monitored global sourcing will be even more attractrive. However, it would seem that a provider such as Source One has a lot to learn and evaluate if it is going to optimize global sourcing in the IIoT world.

Refining A small number of companies make the decisions relative to combust, flow and treat purchases for refineries. The refinery IIoT and Remote O&M market will rise from $18 billion in 2018 to more than $36 billion by 2024. Companies building new refineries are well aware of the benefits of using IIoT through pervasive sensing applications.  A typical modern facility will thus have about 50,000 inputs and outputs to and from control and monitoring systems, with all connections made through plant intranets, which replaces the Internet in these IIoT applications. But an older refinery will typically have closer to 20,000 inputs and outputs, with the 30,000 shortfall the root cause of much inefficiency, operational issues and safety incidents.  So, the IIoT potential at existing plants is bigger than for new plants. McIlvaine tracks all refinery projects daily. There are relatively few refining companies. Many of them also own chemical plants and or extract gas and oil.  A marketing program for refining combust, flow, and treat products and services will be discussed.

Shale Oil and Gas  Unlike conventional extraction shale oil and gas involves large numbers of small wells with very complex extraction processes.  This combination makes IIoT and Remote O&M very cost effective. There are also many more combust, flow and treat products and services required. McIlvaine tracks all the oil and gas activity on a daily basis.  N049 Oil, Gas, Shale and Refining Markets and Projects  Remote monitoring of pumps and valves is very important due to the high pressures and abrasive environment in which these components must operate.  The cost of shale and gas extraction has been falling due to process and component innovation.  Greater use of IIoT and Remote O&M will make this technology even more competitive.  This webinar provides an extension of the March oil and gas webinar which can be viewed at https://youtu.be/o7kJSXixFHs
