The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) release a rule, 40 CFR Part 63 - National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Petroleum Refinery Sector, in 2015. Elements of the rule were reconsidered with a final rule made effective in February...
Flow measurement is critical in fiscal measurement applications from custody transfer to allocations between parties. The choice of technologies is broad and dependent on the fluid being measured and properties of the application. In an Applied Automation article,...
Urea is a key component in nitrogen-rich fertilizers. Typically, the urea production process begins with hydrogen from natural gas and nitrogen in the air to produce ammonia. Urea is produced from the combination of ammonia and carbon dioxide. Urea producers must...
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...
Differential pressure (DP) is one of the most used and proven technologies for flow measurement. With averaging pitot tube (APT) technology, the impact pressure is sensed on the front of the device as the flow initially approaches the obstruction or bluff body which...
One of the most proven ways to measure flow rate is through differential pressure measurement. By creating an obstruction in the flow of fluid, a difference in pressure is created upstream and downstream of the obstruction. In this 3:12 educational YouTube video, How...
Flow is a key measurement for most process manufacturers. In this quick, 1:38 YouTube video, How Multivariable Transmitters Work, Emerson's team who manages the Rosemount brand of products give an explanation of how multivariable pressure transmitters work and how...
Adding static or differential pressure measurements to a process can be a difficult undertaking with pipe penetrations, instrumentation wiring, and coordination with ongoing operations. In this quick, 1:45 YouTube video, Emerson's Brian Fretschel describes the...
What are the required distances in pipeline inside diameters (I.D.) upstream and downstream for a differential pressure (DP) flowmeter for the pressure and temperature sensors doing pressure-temperature (PT) compensation?
Chris Womack recaps an Emerson Exchange presentation on storage tank process availability. It's crucial to keep storage tanks—and terminal facilities—constantly monitored, so they're always associated with an ongoing cost. But that cost is going down. In another of...
An industry commitment and new technologies are contributing to cleaner metals and mining operations. Emerson's Michael Pearson, a member of the Rosemount Measurement team and metals and mining industry team, shares examples of the progress being made. Mining and...
