Simplifying Continuous Gas Chromatograph Online Analysis Installation
Jim Cahill
Gas chromatographs (GCs) are used in natural gas applications to measure the hydrocarbon components. The heavier natural gas liquids beyond butane and pentane are referred to as C6+ hydrocarbons. Gas chromatographs performing C6+ analysis are used by hydrocarbon processing facilities when high-quality product specifications are required or when rigid custody transfer standards are needed in natural gas trading operations…

Hanwha Total Petrochemicals Reduces Costs and Improves Environmental Compliance with Conductivity
Bonnie Brown
by Lee Ju Yong, Applications and Customer Service, Emerson Most of us know that conductivity is an excellent way to detect the interface between a non-conductive liquid, such as a hydrocarbon, and a conductive aqueous solution. Even more impressive, however, is hearing how this vital analysis is saving time and money for real companies. Here’s a great example. Hanwha Total Petrochemicals is headquartered in Seoul…

Advances in Oil and Gas Produced Fluids Multiphase Measurement
Jim Cahill
It’s encouraging to see the comeback in shale oil & gas production here in the U.S. Oil & gas producers have made great strides in lowering the costs of drilling, hydraulic fracturing & completion and ongoing well pad production. A recent CPI Financial article noted: Shale oil output in the US may grow sequentially by 600 thousand b/d from 4Q16 to 4Q17 on increased activity in oil rigs and fast productivity gains…

Solving stringent insurer safety requirements
Peta Glenister
A waste treatment specialist company in France was using differential pressure (DP) transmitters to measure and control the level within their two steam drums. However, after a recent review, the plant’s insurers were concerned that if the DCS was to fail, the DP measurement would be lost and there would be no way of knowing the level within the steam drum. This could lead to the steam drum running dry, or rising level…

Under Pressure: New Developments in High-Pressure Chemical Injections
Jim Cahill
Over in LinkedIn, Emerson’s Travis Stone has posted part 3, Under Pressure: Emerson Announces a New Development in High Pressure Chemical Injections , in our series on improving chemical injection processes. These posts highlight the issues associated with underinjecting chemicals and the excessive costs associated with over injection. Optimimum rates of injection help assure piping integrity by inhibiting deposits…

Chemical Injection: Why Waste Money on Injecting Excessive Chemicals?
Jim Cahill
Author: Clément Villevière The answer is clear, offshore producers want to guard against risky chemical under-injection and they lack confidence in the reliability of traditional chemical injection systems. Over the past few years, the oil & gas industry has experienced a major shift from a relativity high cost operating environment to the current low-cost environment where profitability has reduced, and rendered…

Improving Burner Control with Gas Chromatographs
Jim Cahill
There once was a time for industrial manufacturers when they received fairly homogeneous supplies of natural gas that did not vary much in energy content. Here in the U.S. with the rapid increase in shale gas production as part of the overall energy mix, there is more variance. In a Power magazine article, Gas Chromatographs Offer New Technology for Power Plant Burner Control , Emerson’s Bonnie Crossland describes…

Vortex Flow Meter Principles of Operation
Jim Cahill
In yesterday’s post , we looked at three different flow measurement technologies used in fiscal metering applications—differential pressure (DP), Coriolis, and Ultrasonic. Today let’s look at flow measurement with vortex flow meters. There is a new, very educational video on the Rosemount YouTube channel, Introduction to Vortex Flow Meter Technology . This 4:49 video explains the basic principles of operation behind…

Natural Gas Flowmeter Selection
Jim Cahill
Flow measurement is critical in fiscal measurement applications from custody transfer to allocations between parties. The choice of technologies is broad and dependent on the fluid being measured and properties of the application. In an Applied Automation article, Selecting flowmeters for natural gas , Emerson’s Dan Hackett describes the need for different flow measurement technologies across different parts of the…

Calibrating Toroidal Conductivity Sensors
Bonnie Brown
By Dave Joseph, Emerson Conductivity measurement is one of the most ubiquitous in industry so the issue of how to correctly calibrate a toroidal conductivity sensor comes up for a lot of plant personnel. Because the purpose of the measurement is to get information about the total concentration of ions in solution (i.e., the conductivity), the effect of sensor dimensions and windings must be accounted for. The correction…

Multiphase Flow Measurement for Oil and Gas Well Pads
Jim Cahill
In oil and gas production well pads and offshore platforms, separators perform the work of breaking out the oil, gas and water into separate component streams. Test separators have historically taken flows from individual wells, known as well tests, to determine the percentages of these components on a periodic basis. These components are then returned into the production flow streams. The processing facility with test…

Optimizing Ammonia Usage in NOx Emission Reduction Processes
Jim Cahill
Mono-nitrogen oxides (NO x ) including NO and NO 2 are byproducts of combustion where it occurs in the presence of nitrogen. Since the composition of the atmosphere is 78% nitrogen , this would include most places where this combustion occurs. These NOx gases : …react to form smog and acid rain as well as being central to the formation of tropospheric ozone . To control the level of NOx emissions to meet regulatory…
