SMN Power Holding implemented ICONICS GENESIS64 at Al-Rusail Power Plant to track gas quality metrics from a natural gas chromatograph. The system connects via Modbus Ethernet OPC server, displays real-time data in GraphWorX dashboards, logs trends with TrendWorX, and exports reports using ReportWorX Express. The solution replaced manual processes, improved turbine combustion efficiency, and reduced emissions.

Key takeaways
