Vessels transporting liquefied gases at sea incorporate specialized storage tanks, which must be equipped with both a tank gauging system and a safety system. The tank gauging system provides continuous measurement of liquid levels for inventory management and custody...
The rapid growth of LNG & FLNG projects introduces valve procurement and execution complexity that traditional approaches were not designed to handle, and project teams that fail to adapt early risk schedule slips, rework, and startup delays.
Guided wave radar (GWR) transmitters are among the most widely deployed level instruments in upstream oil and gas production. Yet, many installations underperform because the echo curve is never examined after commissioning.
Selecting the right flow meter for upstream or midstream operations often comes down to a balancing act between measurement accuracy and cost. In today’s cost-conscious oil & gas sector, many operators face tough decisions: Is investing in a premium, high-accuracy...
Safety regulations and compliance requirements continue to intensify following high-profile incidents, while nearly a quarter of the natural gas workforce is approaching retirement, taking with them decades of institutional knowledge. Operators need monitoring systems that are both more capable and easier to deploy than ever before.
Poorly specified or undersized valves in critical services can cause unplanned shutdowns, fugitive emissions, and safety incidents, so getting valve selection right at the front end of a project and revisiting it whenever process conditions change are among the highest-leverage actions an operator or engineering contractor can take.
In upstream Oil & Gas operations, chemical injection is one of those critical processes that rarely gets much attention—until something goes wrong. Corrosion, scale formation, and flow assurance issues can quickly turn into costly production disruptions, safety...
Many floating production vessels now operating off Africa and elsewhere were converted or built decades ago and are approaching or exceeding their original design lives. The monitoring equipment installed during that era is equally dated, leaving integrity teams dependent on manual ultrasonic inspections, retrievable corrosion coupons, and intrusive probes.
In base oil production, quality and reliability is non‑negotiable. When you’re operating in high‑capacity refineries and producing Group I and Group II base oils for global markets, even small measurement inaccuracies can have a cascading impact on product quality,...
Across industries—from chemical and energy to life sciences—operators are being asked to do more with less. Processes must run reliably, systems must integrate smoothly, and regulatory expectations continue to rise. At the same time, traditional approaches to flow...
New pressure relief valve (PRV) designs that protect LNG storage tanks, while providing cost savings through reduced fugitive emissions and increased capacity.
Owners and restorers of old cars know that blistering paint on a door or fender is a tell-tale sign that rust has penetrated through the metal and a hole will soon form. Industrial maintenance teams also look for signs of corrosion, but often they aren’t visible until...
