Case studies
Secure remote management with real-time improvements
Background
INNIO’s Waukesha Engine and Detechtion Technologies Inc. are working together to expand asset connectivity, drive a customer-centric digital ecosystem, and empower our customers transition to decarbonization. The cloud based digital solution provides a new depth or remote asset insights and analysis across a fleet of installed natural gas engine and compressor packages. Combining INNIO’s Waukesha engine analytics with Detechtion’s compression monitoring and optimization technology into a single solution for both new and existing compressor skids. Which will greatly help customers remotely manage their assets securely and in real time, anticipating unexpected events and determining if assistance is required.
Product Spotlight
INNIO and Detechtion worked with a large international fleet rental company where seven assets were selected—three in Bolivia and four in Oman. Technical data collection feeding diagnostic reports includes incremental production, fuel gas used, CO2 and NOx emissions, expected discharge temperature, compression ratio, volumetric efficiency, blowby, rod load compression and tension-static and net, minimum degrees reversal, minimum rod load net ratio, cylinder flow, horsepower used-overall and at RPM, and cylinder capacity used. This data is monitored remotely by the Remote Operations Center (ROC) at Waukesha, which teamed up with the engineering account managers (EAMs) at Detechtion.
REsults
When the ROC identified “blowby” on one of its assets, it quickly sent the information to an EAM for verification. If left untreated, blowby leakage on a compressor can be expensive and even catastrophic. The customer was proactively contacted by the ROC and EAM and was able to respond to the issue in a timely manner, avoiding failure and minimizing production losses.

service interval extensions and reduced fuel and oil consumption
This collaboration will benefit the industry’s need for solutions that provide deeper visibility and better control throughout the compressor skid while optimizing operators’ operations. Both Detechtion’s and INNIO’s Waukesha teams have a wealth of knowledge and are energized to create an even more powerful solution that achieves the accessibility customers deserve. Detechtion has been creating digital twins and smart solutions to provide our compression customers with optimization and monitoring capabilities for over 20 years. We are excited to develop a combined solution alongside the Waukesha team.
