  • How ‘2-in-1’ Radar Technology Fulfills Requirement for Independent Tank Gauging and Safety Systems on Liquefied Gas Carriers

    Vessels transporting liquefied gases at sea incorporate specialized storage tanks, which must be equipped with both a tank gauging system and a safety system. The tank gauging system provides continuous measurement of liquid levels for inventory management and custody transfer purposes, while the safety system includes alarms to help prevent overfills. These systems must be […] The post How ‘2-in-1’ Radar Technology…

  • Overcoming Key Challenges in Cement Production with Non-Contacting Radar Technology

    Efficiency and safety of cement production has been limited for decades by ineffective measurement technologies or manual processes. Non-contacting radar level technologies are changing the dynamic and revealing new ways for plant operators to keep tabs on crucial parameters that can help streamline operations, reduce costs and protect personnel. Challenges in Cement Production Storage Tanks One of the obvious limitations…
  • Enhance Safety by Upgrading to Modern Instrumentation

    Chemical plants are hazardous environments that rely on safety instrumented systems (SIS) to protect personnel, assets and the surrounding area. Perhaps surprisingly, decades-old SIS are still in use at many plants, with organizations adopting an attitude of ‘if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it’. However, in a Chemical Processing article, ‘ Upgrade Your Safety Instrumented Systems ’, Emerson’s global functional safety manager…

  • Why Radar Gauges are a Better Choice than Servo Technology for Liquefied Gas Applications

    In tank gauging systems for cryogenic vessels that contain liquefied gases such as LNG and LPG, reliable level measurement is vital for inventory management and custody transfer purposes, and to prevent overfills. Servo gauges have often been used to perform level measurement in these applications. However, in a Tank Storage magazine article, ‘ The right level measurement for liquefied gas ’, Johan Sandberg, business…
