1INJECTIONInjection Enginemac_efficiency_loss: MAC isentropic efficiency degraded. Same load now draws more power. Health dropped to 88%.
2MPC_SOLVEMPC Optimizer📐 MPC: Optimal load 73% (4h horizon) | Priority: 3 | Expected margin: $0/h | Reason: All constraints healthy → optimize revenue (+load)
3PHYSICSPhysics KernelMAC efficiency drop means more electricity per kg of air compressed. At 79% load, power draw increased ~20% above design. Suspect: fouled inter-stage cooler, worn labyrinth seals, or impeller erosion. Discharge temper…
4PRODUCTIONProduction AgentReducing 79%→71% lowers power draw proportionally. At 71%, GOX/GAN/LOX/LIN production drops ~10%. Power savings: 1.7MW × 55/h.
5TANKSTank Inventory AgentLower production → tanks drain toward demand baseline. LOX at 60%, LIN at 61%. Fill rates drop ~10%. If maintenance takes >4h, tank levels may approach critical.
6DISPATCHDispatch AgentNormal dispatch continues. No emergency needed unless tank levels drop below 25%. Monitor LOX and LIN fill rates for early warning.
7CUSTOMERSCustomer Impact AgentShort-term: no customer impact. Medium-term (>6h at 71%): customers with <3 days inventory may need priority dispatch. Product quality unaffected — efficiency loss is thermodynamic, not separation quality.

Raw effects

  1. MAC eff 81%, health 97%
  2. mac_efficiency_loss: MAC isentropic efficiency degraded. Same load now draws more power. Health dropped to 88%.
  3. 📐 MPC: Optimal load 73% (4h horizon) | Priority: 3 | Expected margin: $0/h | Reason: All constraints healthy → optimize revenue (+load)
  4. MAC efficiency drop means more electricity per kg of air compressed. At 79% load, power draw increased ~20% above design. Suspect: fouled inter-stage cooler, worn labyrinth seals, or impeller erosion. Discharge temperature elevated.
  5. Reducing 79%→71% lowers power draw proportionally. At 71%, GOX/GAN/LOX/LIN production drops ~10%. Power savings: 1.7MW × 55/h.
  6. Lower production → tanks drain toward demand baseline. LOX at 60%, LIN at 61%. Fill rates drop ~10%. If maintenance takes >4h, tank levels may approach critical.
  7. Normal dispatch continues. No emergency needed unless tank levels drop below 25%. Monitor LOX and LIN fill rates for early warning.
  8. Short-term: no customer impact. Medium-term (>6h at 71%): customers with <3 days inventory may need priority dispatch. Product quality unaffected — efficiency loss is thermodynamic, not separation quality.

    1. MAC inspection crew dispatched. 2) Root cause: seal wear, fouling, or bearing degradation. 3) Repair 4-8h depending on cause. 4) Post-maintenance: efficiency returns to 84% design point. 5) Ramp load back to 79% and monitor power draw for confirmation.
