ARC Report Abstract

Summary

ARC Advisory Group attended the 46th Turbomachinery & 33rd Pump Symposia (TPS) in Houston in December; the show was postponed from its traditional mid-September date because of Hurricane Harvey.  This year’s event drew 4,620 registered attendees from 46 countries, down slightly from 2016.  Almost 360 companies exhibited all things related to compressors, turbines, pumps, sensors, condition monitoring, remote monitoring solutions, and more.  We saw many interesting solutions on display and had many interesting discussions. 

Digital Transformation at 2017 Turbomachinery & Pump Symposia tps-horizontal-logo.jpgFrom ARC’s perspective, the event provided an informative and interesting line-up of content that included detailed case study presentations, lectures, short courses, tutorial sessions, and interactive discussion groups on a range of topics related to turbomachinery and pumps.  The event also provided an excellent opportunity to do some first-hand sup-plier research for our market research on both compressor and turbine monitoring & controls and optimization.  While we obviously couldn’t cover everything, some takeaways from the activities that we did attend follow.

Keynote Presentation Focused on Digital Transformation

In his keynote presentation kicking off the event, Jody Elliott, President, Oil & Gas Domestic at Occidental Resources (Oxy), provided an overview of the company’s operations and discussed some of the interesting and dynamic actions Oxy is taking on its journey towards digital transformation.
