Abstract: This study discusses the failures detection through monitoring of compressors (FERTIAL) from oil versus vibration diagnostics standpoints. The overview of case histories and aerodynamic researches suggests as diagnostic strategy. The most pervasive cost that drags down productivity improvements is unplanned equipment and manufacturing process downtime. CCM (Compressor Condition Monitor) is a device that continuously monitors compressors-based machinery and equipment used in several processes in a plant. Thanks to its unique model-based monitoring technology, it has the ability of detecting impending mechanical and electrical failures in these processes at the early stages of fault development. Because of its continuously monitoring feature, several abnormal operations in equipments, processes and plants can come to light; hence the device can be used in process optimisation. The patented model-based monitoring technology that has been used in this device is a consequence of an approximately twenty years� research activities.
