  • Analytical Experts Blog: Gas Analyzer Applications

    Monitoring the composition of what’s in an air mixture is important for many processes. Reasons may include detecting dangerous gasses for the safety of the plant personnel, getting the air-fuel ratio right for optimum combustion, or better understanding the mix of hydrocarbons in a gas stream to name a few. At next week’s Emerson Exchange conference , Emerson’s Kyle Stewart is participating in a number of sessions…

  • Level Blog: Non-Contacting Radar Level Measurement Frequency Tradeoffs

    Microwaves have many uses including communications, navigation, radar, radio astronomy, heating and power, and spectroscopy to name a few. For instrumentation and automation, radar level measurement works by emitting microwaves to measure distance. The first radar level measurement system was installed on a commercial oil tanker in 1976. Today, the technology has advanced to measure levels in tanks and vessels with…
  • Flow Blog: Modular Multiphase Oil and Gas Well Flow Metering

    With many oil and gas producers facing tighter margins due to prices, any capital and operational expenditures must be closely scrutinized. To maximize the life and production rates of the well and improve reservoir decision-making, it is important to characterize and understand reservoirs and access accurate production information. Multiphase flow meters, measure oil, gas and water cuts can aid in supplying production…
  • Level Blog: Radar frequencies: dispelling the myths

    Radar level transmitters on the market use different microwave frequencies – so which one is best? Laws of physics make “the best choice” vary depending on specific application challenges. Read more about the pros and cons of the various microwave frequencies from a level measurement perspective in our new white paper. http://bit.ly/radarfrequenciesNEW
  • Temperature Blog: Accurate Piping Surface Temperature Measurement

    We see the impact of the Internet of Things in our homes with devices like thermostats that we can control from our mobile devices. And we see it in industrial processes with the ever expanding variety of sensing devices to improve the safety, efficiency and reliability of these processes. One important area of innovation is being able to measure temperature without having to penetrate the piping or vessels with thermowells…

  • Pressure Blog: Improving Pump Continuous Monitoring

    Unless you are lucky enough to have a process that flows downhill, you likely have pumps moving liquids through the process. And if these liquids come in large volumes such as hydrocarbon movement and storage facilities, these pumps can be very large and dangerous should failures occur. In a World Pipelines article, Flow management starts with pumps , Emerson’s Wally Baker describes how to improve reliability and efficiency…

  • Analytical Experts Blog: Balancing Air/Fuel Ratio with Gas Chromatography – A Glass Manufacturing Example

    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…
  • Level Blog: Measuring Cement Storage Silo Level and Volume Reliably

    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…
