Level Blog: How Guided Wave Radar Instruments Can Help a Refinery Make Accurate Level Measurements in a Corrosive Environment.

It’s always interesting to have a little historical trivia attached to our industries, and this article provides a good example: refineries started adding alkylation units during World War II to increase production of aviation gasoline for all those piston-engine aircraft. The process is still in use today, with a few unresolved challenges. Hydrofluoric acid (HF) alkylation is a very corrosive process, which Lydia...

Level Blog: Accurate Oil Storage Tank Custody Transfer

Tom Wienke For oil & gas well pads not connected to pipelines, custody transfer of the produced oil and produced water occurs via truck transport. The trucks load oil from holding tanks and require accurate measurements for the custody transfer from producer. Similarly, this is true for the produced water in their holding tanks sent off for disposal. In a Flow Control article, API 18.2: Ensure Safety While Providing...
