  • Level Blog: When you need to know more...

    Peta Glenister
    One of our midstream energy customers in Colorado recently upgraded their Rosemount 2120 level switches to the brand new wired HART Rosemount 2140 level detector. Frustrated by the lack of information they were getting back from the level switches due to a lack of remote diagnostics functionality, the company wanted a smart device that would not just send an alarm in the event of an overfill, but would also alert in…

  • Level Blog: Proof Testing Level Measurement Devices

    Jim Cahill
    Safety instrumented systems (SIS) include the sensor(s), final control element(s) and logic solver(s) for each of the safety instrumented functions (SIFs) in the SIS. To verify the SIFs are performing the amount of risk reduction intended for their application, they must be periodically proof tested. PCN Europe magazine interviewed Emerson’s Teddy Tzegazeab on how proof testing has changed for SIFs with liquid level…

  • Analytical Experts Blog: Continuous Emissions Monitoring for Energy Optimization

    Jim Cahill
    For process manufacturers, the energy bill can up to 40-60% of the total operating budget. One way to optimize the energy expended is with Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) . Many people think of CEMS as something used for emissions regulatory reporting to help ensure certification and compliance with local and international regulatory agencies. But these systems can also be used in helping to increase…

  • Pressure Blog: Moving Beyond Local Pressure Gauge Readings

    Jim Cahill
    Walk around most any industrial process manufacturing or production process and you’ll likely see pressure gauges providing feedback to operators who walk by. According to the Pressure Gauge entry in Encyclopedia.com , this technology: …was invented by French industrialist Eugene Bourdon in 1849. It utilizes a curved tube design as the pressure sensing element. A less common pressure element design is the diaphragm…

  • Level Blog: What good is a safety level measurement if you can’t trust it?

    Peta Glenister
    What good is a safety level measurement if you can’t trust it? A coal fired power plant installed an electronic gauging system for both level indication and level alarms on their plant’s steam drums. The system was configured to give Hi and Hi-Hi alarms and to shut down the boiler in case of emergency. However, within two years of operation they experienced leaking electrodes, and some of these leaks then caused false…

  • Level Blog: Level Sensor Safety Proof Testing

    Jim Cahill
    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 assure that each safety instrumented function (SIF)/safety loop does what it’s intended to do to bring the plant to a safe state in the event of a demand…
