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...

Level Measurement for High Process-Low Ambient Temperature Applications
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...
Advances in Level Measurement
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...
Calpine Tackles Froth and Foam with Non-Contacting Radar
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...
Upgrading Rosemount 1151 to 3051 Pressure Transmitters
The venerable Rosemount 1151 pressure transmitter was introduced all the way back in 1969. It combined 4–20 mA electronics with capacitance technology. In my first job post college, I worked as a project engineer out of New Orleans on offshore oil & gas platforms...
Level Measurement on Hydrogen Sulfide Abatement System
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...
High Pressure Steam Vessel Level Measurement Compensation
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...
Guided Wave Radar Level Measurement Installation Tips
When it comes to measuring levels in vessels, guided wave radar (GWR) technology has many advantages, which includes having no moving parts to minimize maintenance costs. In a Process Worldwide article, How to Get the Best from GWR, Emerson's Phil Lever provides some...
Better Tank-Level Measurement Using Multivariable Devices
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...
Avoiding Dangerous Conditions through Tank Floating Roof Level Monitoring
Happy New Year everyone! Our new year here at the Emerson Process Experts blog got off to a rocky start with a database crash late yesterday. We seem to have things restored and will be spot checking everything, but leave a comment if you encounter anything out of the...
Expanding Level Measurement Technologies and Applications
Level measurement plays a large role in most process manufacturing facilities. It's a subject we address here on the blog from time to time in the level category. I mention this in case you didn't see the recent news—Emerson acquires ISE Magtech. ISE Magtech joins the...
Avoiding Shutdowns with Accurate Level Measurement
For plants and mills that use steam in the production process, measuring the steam condensate level accurately can be the difference between operating reliably and fighting unplanned shutdowns. So was the case for a U.S. ethanol producer, Absolute Energy, as told in a...
