Balancing Air/Fuel Ratio with Gas Chromatography – A Glass Manufacturing Example
Bonnie Brown
Hi. I’m Bonnie Crossland, Rosemount product manager for gas chromatograph (GC) technology and I’ll be your analytic expert today. I recently had an opportunity to write an article for InTech magazine and I’d like to share with you some of the ideas from that article. You may be aware that glass production is one of the most energy intensive industries, with energy costs topping 14% of total production costs. The bulk…

Measuring Cement Storage Silo Level and Volume Reliably
Jim Cahill
The cement-making process involves quarrying raw materials such as limestone, sand and clay and then crushing these materials and others into small pieces in a series of stages. Rotary cement kilns heat these materials along other materials such as iron ore or fly ash. The high heat removes elements that are turned into gasses and the materials left are cooled and ground up with small amounts of gypsum and limestone added…

Avoiding Corrosion while Increasing Urea Production
Jim Cahill
Author: James Gremillion One of the key problems urea plants face is corrosion. The corrosion problem rests with one chemical produced by the urea process, ammonium carbamate . Ammonium carbamate is produced by reacting ammonia and carbon dioxide at high pressures (up to 200 bar ) in a special reactor. The urea reactor is a reactor vessel inside a protective shell. Should there be a leak in the reactor, the shell…

Automatic Gauging for Onshore Oil and Gas Small Lease Tanks
Jim Cahill
Author: Michael Machuca Manual tank gauging is very prevalent in onshore oil and gas facilities located in the United States. It is viewed as a low-cost, effective solution to manage tank inventory and custody transfer measurements. The API 18.1 standard governs the procedure for how these measurements are made, but there is increasing concern around accounting accuracy, production losses and safety. Operators are…

Guided Wave Radar Level Measurement in Vessel Bypass Chambers
Jim Cahill
Accurately measuring levels in vessels is important in many aspects—safety, efficiency, reliability and availability to name a few. Mechanical level measurement devices historically have been failure prone and have required regular maintenance. Guided wave radar (GWR) technology avoids the problems with associated with mechanical devices, but is affected by obstructions in the vessel such as agitators, heat exchangers…
