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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Differential pressure (DP) measurement has long been used in tank and other vessel level measurement. Level is calculated by taking the difference in pressure divided by the specific gravity of the liquid. I caught up with Emerson's Anshuman Prasad, a member of the...
Recently we've had a few level measurement-related posts--one on a refinery desalter vessel application and another on guided wave radar setup, calibration, and diagnostics. To continue on this theme, I've discovered an article, Determining the level best in radar...
In last week's post, Refinery Desalter Guided Wave Radar Level Measurement, Emerson's Jonas Berge added a comment with a link to an article he wrote about the setup, calibration, and diagnostics of guided wave radar (GWR) level transmitters. The article, New EDDL is...
Hydrocarbon Engineering magazine published an article by Emerson's Sarah Parker, Using Guided Wave Radar for desalter interface measurements will improve efficiency, increase reliability and reduce maintenance. The article is not available online to non-subscribers,...
Emerson's Rosemount measurement team has a YouTube channel with videos demonstrations of pressure, level, temperature, flow, wireless, and associated products. At last count there are now 31 videos posted. Although the channel is 3 months old, 27 of the videos have...
You may have heard about the focus on Human Centered Design (HCD) approaches across Emerson Process Management. The importance of this trend was highlighted in a recent Sound Off! blog post on Human Factors Engineering. This HCD focus over the past several years has...
