Level measurements, especially in safety critical applications such as tank overspill protection, continue to advance in capability, accuracy and reliability. In this 3:16 YouTube video, Prevent overfills & decrease operating costs with Rosemount 2100 vibrating...
Yesterday, we looked at some applications for wireless measurement in upstream and downstream oil production. Today, let's look specifically at wireless level measurement in oil & gas production. In this quick 1:48 YouTube video, Wireless Level Measurement...
How often do you Google for a solution to a problem you face and land in an online community? It happens to me all the time. This was a lot of the reason for the creation of our Emerson Exchange 365 community several years ago—to provide a place where peer-to-peer...
In an earlier post, Avoiding Cold Climate Measurement Challenges, we mentioned a thermal range expander for differential pressure (DP) level measurement, which can be applied in application with higher process temperatures and lower ambient temperatures. Emerson's...
For those here in North America, there is a good chance you're braving extremely cold weather today. The Weather Channel captures the situation well in a post, Arctic Cold Blast Continues; Wind Chill Alerts For Over Half U.S. Population. And Canada makes this appear...
A Process Engineering magazine article, Level best, poses a question: Has the deployment of level measurement devices changed in the wake of the Buncefield [UK] disaster? The article's author connects with several instrumentation suppliers including Emerson's...
Emerson's Cathy Ershen and Jim Elchook shared a case study on geothermal power generation. Their abstract: H2S abatement may be required to meet local environmental regulations for a geothermal plant. At Calpine's Geysers, a number of the operating power plants have...
Earlier this year, the National Institute for Storage Tank Management (NISTM) held the 16th Annual International Aboveground Storage Tank Conference & Trade Show. At this conference, Emerson's Johan Sandberg presented, The Future of Tank Monitoring and Overfill...
Emerson's Carl-Johan Roos shared ways to comply with the new API2350 standard for overfill protection on tanks. CJ opened noting there is no reward for risk takers when it comes to overfill protection. He is a member of the API2350 committee. Overfills occur one out...
Level measurement can be tricky, especially when the fluid being measured has changing density and specific gravity. Emerson's Cathy Ershen alerted me to a paper she, Emerson's Pat Carroll and Calpine's Anthony Derenia had published at the Geothermal Library. The...
Sources of energy supply and shifts in demand increase the need for storage capacity to reduce imbalances. According to Industrial Info Resources: Oil & gas storage terminals for both imports and exports are springing up throughout the world as North America...
Having an accurate measurement of the level inside a boiler, high-pressure feedwater heater, or steam separator is important for the safety, reliability, and efficiency of this process equipment. If the actual level does not reflect the value being transmitted back to...
