  • Refinery Desalter Efficient and Reliable Operation

    Jim Cahill
    While oil and gas production processing equipment can separate the gas, oil, basic sediment and water from the production stream, this equipment typically can’t separate the salt that can be found in solution in the oil. At high enough concentrations, this salt can lead to corrosion and fouling of downstream refining equipment and operations. In a Flow Control article, Critical Level Control Ensures Highest Efficiency…

  • Selecting a safety-critical level instrument using undetected (DU) failure rates

    Peta Glenister
    Dangerous undetected (DU) failure rates are often considered more relevant than safe failure fraction as a basis for selecting a safety-critical instrument . The latest vibrating fork level switches from Emerson have been designed with enhanced diagnostics capability, to reduce the number of DU failures and increase plant safety.

  • Point and Continuous Level Measurement in Water and Wastewater Applications

    Jim Cahill
    Across many industries, level measurements are critical ones for safe and reliable operations. This is true for the water and wastewater industries. The choice of technologies for these measurements is broad, especially since they fall into two categories point-based (on/off switching) and continuous. In a Water Online article, Point Versus Continuous Level Measuring Technologies , Emerson’s Lydia Miller provides guidance…

  • Solving heater treater optimization problems with Rosemount level measurement.

    Peta Glenister
    A major oil and gas company operating in the Bakken oil field was having problems with their heater treater separators which were causing gas to be carried over into the tanks. By utilizing Rosemount 5300 Guided Wave Radar and Rosemount 3051S ERS Electronic Remote Seals they were able to eliminate the free gas and water carryover.
