There are many flow measurement technologies from which to choose. We discussed the advantages of Coriolis flow and density measurement technology in many applications in earlier posts. A short 3:23 YouTube video, 4200 2-Wire Coriolis Transmitter shares how this...
In upstream oil & gas production, flow measurements are critical for determining the health and longevity of the producing and injection wells. Many technologies such as multiphase flow meters and differential pressure (DP) measurements can be used. In a...
Introducing the new Micro Motion 4200 2-Wire Transmitter Chemical plants and refineries around the globe are dealing with unreliable legacy 2-wire flow points and are looking for the upgrade migration path to a more accurate and reliable measurement. Traditionally,...
The Drive Gain diagnostic value that a Micro Motion Coriolis meter from Emerson reports is a very good indicator of when there is gas vapor in the oil leg. That is why is it important to monitor, because it can tell you very definitively if the oil leg on your separator is experiencing gas carry-under.
Food & beverage manufacturers are driven by consumers not only to maintain high levels of consistency with existing products, but also to develop and deliver new, experiential products. Maintaining consistency and running new production lines require reliable...
Opportunity crudes provide refiners with lower feedstock costs, but they must be carefully characterized and blended with other crudes to avoid problems during the refining process. These opportunity crudes are typically discounted from typical crudes because of the...
Density and concentration measurements are important in many applications in industries such as food & beverage, life sciences, oil & gas and chemicals to name a few. A density meter performs this measurement. This educational 4-minute YouTube video, Compact...
In many parts of the world, technologies to open shale formations for oil and gas production have yielded vast quantities of natural gas. The liquefaction process makes it practical to ship liquefied natural gas (LNG) across the globe. In a SmartBrief article,...
Yesterday, we looked at calibration of Coriolis mass flow meters in natural gas applications and mentioned piecewise linearization (PWL), but did not delve into it. Let's do with today's post. I found a presentation by Emerson's Tonya Wyatt, Fine Tuning Coriolis Flow...
In this 27-minute YouTube presentation video, Custody Transfer Measurement and Calibration Round Robin Testing for Natural Gas with Coriolis Meter, Emerson's Marc Buttler explains Coriolis meter calibration process and Piece Wise Linearization (PWL). His discussion...
We often discuss aspects of some of the basic measurements in process control—flow, temperature, pressure, level, etc. Some other very important measurements in applications such as custody transfer, liquid interface detection, blending, separating, evaporating and...
Recently in a post, Optimizing Wort Sugar Concentration in Craft Beer Brewing, we highlighted the important role of measurement and control in the front end of the beer brewing process which converts malt into wort. Let's continue down the production path through the...
