BNA Guardian
See the fault before it shuts down your facility.
An inspection program that brings to light the signals hidden in your critical assets, before they lead to a facility shutdown, a safety risk, or an avoidable cost.

An inspection program that brings to light the signals hidden in your critical assets, before they lead to a facility shutdown, a safety risk, or an avoidable cost.
THE PROBLEM
What you don’t see will eventually come at a cost.
A compressed-air leak behind a panel, the onset of partial discharge in a switchboard, a seal beginning to fail: the signs of a fault are present long before anyone notices them.
In almost every case, the difference between an avoidable cost and an unplanned shutdown is simply when the problem is detected.
Wasted energy: up to 20–30%
Of a compressor’s output can be lost through undetected compressed-air leaks (U.S. Department of Energy).
Silent electrical risk
Partial discharges in MV/HV equipment rarely produce detectable warning signs before failure.
Unplanned shutdowns
An emergency intervention consistently costs more than one scheduled in advance.
Acoustic Inspection
Gas and compressed-air leaks, partial discharge on MV/HV electrical equipment.
Infrared Thermography
Thermal anomalies on electrical and mechanical equipment.
Continuous Vibration Monitoring
IoT sensors on critical rotating assets, around the clock.
THE APPROACH
See earlier, decide better.
BNA Guardian is our suite of condition monitoring technologies for critical assets. Each measures a different dimension of an asset’s health; together they build an increasingly complete picture over time.
Acoustic inspection is the starting point: the quickest to deploy, the least invasive, and the one with the most immediate return.
WHAT WE DETECT
A targeted survey, without shutting down the facility.
Acoustic inspection identifies issues that normally remain hidden from routine checks, with a non-contact survey that requires neither a shutdown nor direct access to energized equipment.
Every finding is quantified and prioritized, so you know what to address now, what to plan and what to monitor.
Gas and compressed-air leaks
Identified and precisely located, even in noisy environments or areas that are difficult to inspect visually.
Partial discharges in MV/HV equipment
An early indication of insulation deterioration, often years before failure.
Economic impact quantified
Estimated flow rate, energy impact and cost for every leak detected.
Zero impact on production
Carried out with the facility running: no scheduled or unscheduled shutdowns.
Safety for inspectors
Non-contact measurement reduces exposure to energized or pressurized equipment.
1. Initial discussion
We understand your facility’s priorities, critical assets and operational constraints.
2. Planning
We define the areas and equipment to cover based on your objectives.
3. On-site assessment
Non-invasive acoustic inspection, with the facility running.
4. Report and action plan
Findings prioritized in operational language, ready to share with maintenance, HSE and management.
HOW IT WORKS
A simple process in four steps.
From the initial discussion to the action plan, without complicating your facility’s operations.
Our team works every day with critical assets in Oil & Gas and industrial plants: we understand operational constraints before the inspection begins.
