  • Level Blog: Refinery Desalter Efficient and Reliable Operation

    While oil and gas production processing equipment can separate the gas, oil, basic sediment and water from the production stream, this equipment typically can’t separate the salt that can be found in solution in the oil. At high enough concentrations, this salt can lead to corrosion and fouling of downstream refining equipment and operations. In a Flow Control article, Critical Level Control Ensures Highest Efficiency…

  • Pressure Blog: Diagnosing Wiring Issues in Control and Safety Applications

    Control systems rely on accurate measurements coming in from the instrumentation in the process that measures pressures, temperatures, levels, flows and more. For wired instrumentation, it’s not only the accuracy of the measurement device itself, but the impact of the wiring path between it and the terminations into the control system that determines the signal’s accuracy. This path can include terminations at the instrument…

  • Level Blog: Selecting a safety-critical level instrument using undetected (DU) failure rates

    Dangerous undetected (DU) failure rates are often considered more relevant than safe failure fraction as a basis for selecting a safety-critical instrument . The latest vibrating fork level switches from Emerson have been designed with enhanced diagnostics capability, to reduce the number of DU failures and increase plant safety.
