If you have vessels and silos containing solids materials such as cement, grains, wood chips and plastic pellets, it is vital to prevent overfills. Should an overfill result in a spill, the consequences can be extremely serious, with falling materials having the...
What is the purpose of your level measurement? If you know the answer to that I highly recommend an Intech article, How to measure liquid level in vessels, by Emerson's Lydia Miller. This article is but one of a number of excellent learning articles in the...
Some processes, such as oil & gas production, not only have to measure liquid levels but sometimes must measure sediment levels that can come along in the production stream and settle in vessels and tanks. This quick, 2:38 "How To" YouTube video, How Does the...
Backing up your computer or server is a waste of time if restoring the backup fails when you need it. Good practice is to test these backups on separate test systems periodically to make sure they restore properly. Similarly, safety instrumented systems (SISs) need to...
Many of the "things" in the Industrial Internet of Things are the sensors that measure not only operating, but also safety-, reliability- and efficiency-related parameters from a manufacturing and production facility. In a Process Industry Informer article, Enhanced...
Level measurements can be some of the most important measurements for the safe operations of applications such as tank farms, boilers, pump control and more. Level measurement is a key part of monitoring and control strategies as well as safety instrumented functions....
Articles such as Oil & Gas iQ's Five Deadliest Onshore Oil & Gas Blasts remind us of the critical importance and focus that is required for process and personnel safety. I lived in New Orleans at the time of one of the five mentioned. The accident occurred...
I've always held a fascination for offshore oil and gas production. It was my first job out of school as a newly minted Electrical Engineer working as a systems engineer out of New Orleans. Technologies have advanced quite a bit since that time back in the mid-to-late...
Level measurements, especially in safety critical applications such as tank overspill protection, continue to advance in capability, accuracy and reliability. In this 3:16 YouTube video, Prevent overfills & decrease operating costs with Rosemount 2100 vibrating...
Hi, it's Chris Womack again with another guest post about terminals. So, how do you quickly modify an acid terminal to dramatically reduce overfills—and their attendant clean-up costs, product losses, and environmental compliance headaches—to save a bit more than...
At the past Emerson Exchange technical conference in Anaheim, Emerson's Rosemount Level team captured a number of video demonstrations. I'll highlight the new ones added to the Rosemount Level YouTube playlist. In this 2:31 YouTube video, Rosemount 2130 SIL 2...
For oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical producers, measuring levels in tanks is an important component for inventory management. I saw a write up by Emerson's Kevin Cullen that describes how level measurement is not only important for inventory...
