  • Analytical Experts Blog: Improving Burner Control with Gas Chromatographs

    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…
  • Flow Blog: Vortex Flow Meter Principles of Operation

    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…
  • Flow Blog: Natural Gas Flowmeter Selection

    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…
  • Analytical Experts Blog: Calibrating Toroidal Conductivity Sensors

    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…
  • Flow Blog: Multiphase Flow Measurement for Oil and Gas Well Pads

    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…
  • Analytical Experts Blog: Optimizing Ammonia Usage in NOx Emission Reduction Processes

    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…
