Finding the Best Level Measurement for the Application
Many ways exist to measure level in industrial processes. At the recent Emerson Exchange conference in Brussels, Emerson's Ingemar Serneby teamed up with an instrument specialist with a food manufacturer to share a presentation, Finding the best level measurement...
Tank Overfill Multiple Protection Layers
Moving and storing hydrocarbons and other volatile fluids in tank farms and bulk liquid storage facilities require well-designed and functioning measurement and safety systems. In a Tank Storage magazine article, The Critical First Line Of Defence Against Overfills,...
Improving Terminal Operations and Efficiency
Terminals are instrumental in the supply chain for holding moving oil and petrochemical products. An oil depot or tank farm: …typically has tankage, either above ground or underground, and gantries (framework) for the discharge of products into road tankers or other...
Changing Guided Wave Radar Probe Length
How often do you Google for a solution to a problem you face and land in an online community? It happens to me all the time. This was a lot of the reason for the creation of our Emerson Exchange 365 community several years ago—to provide a place where peer-to-peer...
Tank Monitoring and Overfill Prevention
Earlier this year, the National Institute for Storage Tank Management (NISTM) held the 16th Annual International Aboveground Storage Tank Conference & Trade Show. At this conference, Emerson's Johan Sandberg presented, The Future of Tank Monitoring and Overfill...
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...
Tank Storage Wireless Level Measurement and Overspill Protection
Imagine being an operator for a Swedish tank storage facility aside the Baltic Sea and having to manually measure tank levels in the dead of winter. That's exactly what operators at FH Tank Storage AB have had to do at the Kalmar storage terminal in a story told by...
Why Twin Lead and Single Lead in Guided Wave Radar Level Measurement?
A question came into me over at the Emerson Process Experts Facebook Fan Page: Why are twin lead and single lead probes for guided wave radar used? And what are their advantages over each other? I turned to Emerson's Sarah Parker to help me address these questions....
Radar Level Measurement Beginnings, Types, and Applications
One of my U.K.-based colleagues pointed a great article my way, Defining and refining process radar level, in the November Control Engineering Europe magazine. Unfortunately, the article is not viewable online unless you subscribe to site--so I don't have a link for...
