  • Method and device for maintaining a pumping system in operational condition
    Patent number: 11920600
    Abstract: A method for maintaining a pumping system that is part of a pumping station in operational service, the pumping system including a pump, a motor driving the pump, and a pipe for discharging fluid by the pump, where the method includes at least the steps of measuring physical values that characterize the operational characteristics of the pumping system including hydraulic values characteristic of the state of the pump discharge pipe, analyzing and interpreting the measured physical values to detect one or more anomalies, pre-diagnosing probable causes of the detected anomalies, determining preventive and curative actions to apply to the pumping system, and automatically implementing the preventive and curative actions.

  • Method and device for analysing SIMS mass spectrum data
    Patent number: 11784034
    Abstract: A method for analyzing secondary ion mass spectrum data representing respective secondary ion counts for a range of masses at a given mass resolution. The mass spectrum data is obtained by Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry, SIMS. Automatic quantification of the ion species and/or cluster ions detected in the analyzed spectrum data is provided.

  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MAINTAINING A PUMPING SYSTEM IN OPERATIONAL CONDITION
    Publication number: 20200340483
    Abstract: A method for maintaining a pumping system, that is part of a pumping station, in operational service, the pumping system including a pump, a motor driving the pump, and a pipe for discharging fluid by the pump. The method includes at least the following steps:—measurement of physical values, operational characteristics of the pumping system, including hydraulic values that are characteristic of the state of the pump discharge pipe; —analysis and interpretation of the measured physical values with the aim of detecting one or more anomalies;—pre-diagnosis of the probable causes of the detected anomalies and determination of the preventive and curative actions to take on the pumping system; automatic implementation of the preventive and curative actions on the pumping system.
