Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
upstream process equipment of a piping circuit;
downstream process equipment of the piping circuit, wherein the upstream process equipment is configured to transmit a predetermined fluid to the downstream process equipment for processing;
a valve provided on piping between the upstream process equipment and the downstream process equipment, the valve fluidly coupling the upstream process equipment to the downstream process equipment;
a removable ultrasonic wireless flow meter coupled to the piping downstream from the valve; and
a control system coupled to the valve and the removable ultrasonic wireless flow meter,
wherein the control system determines a time and speed to actuate the valve using a predictive model based on a valve size of the manually operated valve, a valve age of the valve, fluid type, a performance metrics when the valve is actuated, a measured flow rate from the removable ultrasonic wireless flow meter, and corresponding coefficients.
