  • Tank Gauging Blog: Non-contacting Radar for Automatic Tank Gauging and Overfill Prevention Systems

    Jim Cahill
    Bulk liquid storage tanks often contain fluids that are hazardous, flammable and/or explosive. These tanks require not only a control system to control levels but and overfill prevention system (OPS) as layer of protection beyond the control system. This basic process control system (BPCS) is commonly referred to as an automatic tank gauging (ATG) system and the OPS is the safety instrumented system (SIS). A Fluid Handling…

  • Flow Blog: Accurately Measuring Flow in Slurry Applications

    Jim Cahill
    Slurry flows are common in many process industries including metals & mining, pulp & paper, and oil & gas. Wikipedia defines a slurry as: …a mixture of solids denser than water suspended in liquid, usually water. The most common use of slurry is as a means of transporting solids, the liquid being a carrier that is pumped on a device such as a centrifugal pump. Laura Chemler Measure the flow of these slurries…

    A unique problem in measuring volumetric flow lies in handling slurry applications. When “slurry” can mean any fluid mixture pumped, pulped, or mined with various solids suspended in the liquid, many industries run into issues monitoring fluids with such... Read the full text.

  • Flow Blog: A New Solution Enables More Accurate Flow Measurements in Slurry Applications

    Emerson Flow Expert
    A unique problem in measuring volumetric flow lies in handling slurry applications. When “slurry” can mean any fluid mixture pumped, pulped, or mined with various solids suspended in the liquid, many industries run into issues monitoring fluids with such inconsistent composition. Pipe lines and their instruments must be able to handle particulates in the slurry, but different solids flowing through the mixture can harm…
