Hygienic Non-Contacting Radar Level Measurement
At the Emerson Exchange Americas Virtual Series, Emerson’s Felix Johansson and Patricia Borghede introduce the world’s first non-contacting radar level transmitter designed for food & beverage applications.
Tank Gauging System Components
Tank gauging systems perform bulk liquid measurements on storage tanks on tank terminals, a.k.a. tank farms. These systems provide inventory management and overfill prevention safety functions. The systems include level measurement devices such as safety certified...
Overcoming Citrus Processing Level Measurement Challenges
Just imagine that you're an operator in a facility that makes concentrated orange juice and the production process requires you to manually check the levels of large processing tanks in the freezing process conditions. Parkas and gloves are a part of your work attire....
How to Install a Rosemount Non-Contacting Radar Level Transmitter
Here's a quick one-minute YouTube video, Rosemount 5408 How To - Mechanical Installation showing the mechanical installation of a Rosemount 5408 Non-Contacting Radar level transmitter. Not much to say other than it looks very straight forward. Visit the Non-Contacting...
Non-Contacting Radar Level Measurement in Pulp Mills
A pulp mill: …converts wood chips or other plant fibre source into a thick fibre board which can be shipped to a paper mill for further processing. Level measurements can be challenging in pulp manufacturing process. In a Pulp-paperworld article, Radar Technology...
LNG Storage Tank Radar Level Measurement
Liquefied natural gas is methane with some ethane possibly mixed in cooled down to -162 degC (-260 degF) to transition the gas into a liquid state. It is liquefied: …for ease and safety of non-pressurized storage or transport. It takes up about 1/600th the volume of...
Level Measurement Intermittent Power Protection
Let's end the week with a quick look at how some instrumentation protects against intermittent power outages. This short, 1-minute Youtube video, How to Secure Safe Operations During Power Outages shows the power reserve function of the Rosemount 5408 level...
Detecting Sand and Sediment Accumulation
Basic sediment and water, or BS&W. It's what comes along for the ride in most oil & gas producing wells. The goal is to separate these from the oil and gas for proper disposal. The sediment portion, often consisting of sand, can collect and accumulate in the...
Point and Continuous Level Measurement in Water and Wastewater Applications
Across many industries, level measurements are critical ones for safe and reliable operations. This is true for the water and wastewater industries. The choice of technologies for these measurements is broad, especially since they fall into two categories point-based...
Proof Testing Level Measurement Devices
Safety instrumented systems (SIS) include the sensor(s), final control element(s) and logic solver(s) for each of the safety instrumented functions (SIFs) in the SIS. To verify the SIFs are performing the amount of risk reduction intended for their application, they...
Improving Heat Rate with Better Measurements
For electrical power producers, the phrase "heat rate" refers to the efficiency of the power plant. It is defined as the thermal energy in divided by the electrical energy out. Emerson's Lydia Miller let me know about a new whitepaper, Using Automation to Improve...
