Action-oriented monitoring system for rotating equipment

A system for controlling a pump, the system comprising:

• a flow sensor configured to measure flow data representing fluid flow at the flow sensor;
• a pump;
• and
• at least one controller, the controller configured to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, from the flow sensor, flow data representing the fluid flow at an input of the pump in a pump system, the pump system comprising a recycle line configured to redirect flow from an output of the pump to the input of the pump;
• determining, based on the flow data, configuration data specifying a hardware configuration of the pump system, and a model specifying a performance history of the pump system, that a recycle event is occurring or about to occur;
• and
• generating, based on the determining, an alert comprising a recommendation for a remedial action to reduce an amount of fluid flow through the recycle line during the recycle event relative to a baseline amount of fluid flow through the recycle line.

One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions for controlling a pump in a pump system by a controller, the instructions, when executed by a processor of the controller, configured to cause the controller to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a flow sensor, flow data representing fluid flow at an input of a pump in a pump system, the pump system comprising a recycle line configured to redirect flow from an output of the pump to the input of the pump;
• determining, based on the flow data, configuration data specifying a hardware configuration of the pump system, and a model specifying a performance history of the pump system, that a recycle event is occurring or about to occur;
• and
• generating, based on the determining, an alert comprising a recommendation for a remedial action to reduce an amount of fluid flow through the recycle line during the recycle event relative to a baseline amount of fluid flow through the recycle line.
