It is vital to measure the cargo volume with absolute precision on LNG carriers, as imprecise measurements will result in incorrect billing, which can further lead to financial disputes and a lack of trust between buyers and sellers. Radar technology is a proven...
Servo level gauges are prone to measurement inaccuracy, have a poor reliability record and require regular maintenance and recalibration. Despite this, many aging tank gauging systems based on this level measurement technology remain in use on bulk liquid storage...
Many antique collectors love “visible” gasoline pumps that were common roughly a century ago. They’re the tall ones with a large glass graduated cylinder at the top. When filling up, the station attendant would manually pump gasoline into the cylinder, and then allow...
I suspect that when many parents are teaching teenagers to drive, they wish for an environment where the novice can drive an actual car but without other traffic. Simulators are great, but they aren’t real cars, so what’s needed is a safe driving area where accidents...
More than 100 years ago, Ivory Soap started claiming, and still says, its bar of soap is “ninety-nine and forty-four-one-hundredths percent pure.” At the time, that was an astonishing figure, but in much of the chemical manufacturing industry today, 99.44% purity...
One of the interesting aspects of our growing hydrogen economy is the way that it is turning up in all sorts of new places and applications. Ammonia plants and refineries have been handling hydrogen for decades, but the proliferation of electrolyzers, fuel cells, and...
The aerosol manufacturing industry has come a long way since the introduction of “bug bombs” during WWII. To meet today’s high demand for aerosol products, assembly lines must produce copious volumes in a wide variety of packaging, while upholding high standards of...
Loading and unloading operations for chemical producers must be performed safely, reliably, and accurately. Emerson’s Martin McDonough shares ways to mitigate risks and improve operational performance.
In our four-part series on temperature measurement, we have reviewed the basics of temperature measurement, the value of using a temperature transmitter, and the ins and outs of a thermowell. In this blog, which is the last in the series, we examine an alternative...
Temperature measurement is a critical parameter in various industries, including the process industry, where precise control of temperature is essential for optimizing efficiency, ensuring product quality, and maintaining safety standards. Traditional temperature...
The term “golden batch” describes the ideal batch production against which all other produced batches are compared. I caught up with Emerson’s Martin McDonough about how this concept applies to chemical manufacturers with batch production processes.
Refineries, chemical plants, oil rigs and power plants can be particularly hazardous environments and the companies that operate them are therefore continually striving to optimise the safety of their personnel.
