Streamline Innovations

Streamline Innovations develops and operates a proprietary process that removes toxic hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) in Oil & Gas, water, wastewater, landfills, and biogas. To succeed in the competitive oilfield services market, the company developed a visionary solution called the ValkyrieTM Intelligent Platform to bring AI-powered predictive maintenance, remote monitor and control of precise chemical processes and operations, and 99.5% uptime, to remote oilfield equipment.

The ValkyrieTM Intelligent Platform integrates an Ignition HMI/SCADA with Azure Cloud, MS Dynamics ERP, FOG instrumentation, PLC programming, AI/ML software, and more using a single ztC Edge Computing platform with built-in redundancy and virtualization. This offers high-precision process control with “tiered” intelligence to monitor and analyze performance of remote assets.

Dr. Peter Photos - Chief Technology Officer

“We selected the Stratus ztC Edge because it provides redundant processing, high uptime, significant computing power, and virtual machines. This gave us the ability to replicate units across the field, by providing a VM of ignition and VM of the database separately on the same unit.”

Challenges

  • Identify a compute platform to combine IT and OT capabilities for monitor and control of complex chemical processes in rugged environments
  • Operate with limited data connectivity and limited staffing in remote Oil & Gas locations
  • Achieve 95% uptime and meet customers’ automation budgets

Solutions

  • Stratus ztC Edge deployed on the skid
  • Inductive Automation Ignition
