  • Flow Blog: Uncertainty in Your Process Unit Mass Balance: What it’s Costing You and How to Improve it

    Jim Cahill
    At the process unit level, the mass balance is particularly important, as the charge and yield measurement streams serve as the basis for operational decision-making. When imbalances occur, process unit engineers can’t optimize their units with confidence. The good news is there are ways to mitigate these measurement uncertainties and improve balances. Strategically placed flow meter technology has been shown to alleviate…

  • Level Blog: Tips for Accurate DP Level Measurements

    Jim Cahill
    Nicole Meidl Differential pressure (DP) for liquid level measurement works by measuring the hydrostatic head pressure at the bottom of the vessel and the specific gravity of the liquid. The height of the liquid in inches is the pressure of the liquid column in inches of water divided by the specific gravity of the liquid. I share this as background for a Processing magazine article, Better ways to use differential…
