Remote Pump Monitoring
In an Automation.com article, Remote Monitoring of Pumps with WirelessHART Transmitters, Emerson’s Tom Bass describes how additional wireless measurements on pumps can improve reliability and overall efficiency.
Ways to Improve Pump Reliability
A U.S. Department of Energy study on pump life cycle costs notes that maintenance and energy costs make up the vast majority of lifecycle costs. Pumps that are critical to the operation of the process typically are installed with online condition-based monitoring...
Improving Pump Reliability and Availability
Centrifugal and rotary pumps are used extensively in applications involving hydrocarbons. The American Petroleum Institute has an API Standard 682: Pumps—Shaft Sealing Systems for Centrifugal and Rotary Pumps. It: …specifies requirements and gives recommendations for...
Essential Asset Monitoring – Pump Demonstration
In an earlier post, Remote Monitoring of Essential Equipment, we shared how wireless vibration sensors were making it possible to monitor assets previously not deemed critical enough for wired, continuous vibration monitoring. Here is a 5:18 YouTube video, Essential...
Pump Reliability and Safety Webinar
I saw an inside-the-firewall blog post from Emerson's Tim Olsen about an upcoming, no charge, HART Energy Webinar. The title of the webinar is Reliability and Safety Improvements with Pump Health Monitoring. It will be held September 28th at 10:00am CDT (13:00 UTC)....
