Monitoring Hydrogen Sulfide for Personnel Safety

Jim Cahill

Deadly hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) can be present in industries such as oil & gas production and wastewater treatment. The Wikipedia Hydrogen Sulfide page highlights the danger: Short-term, high-level exposure can induce immediate collapse, with loss of breathing and a high probability of death. If death does not occur, high exposure to hydrogen sulfide can lead to cortical pseudolaminar necrosis , degeneration of the basal…

7 Ways to Minimize the Learning Curve in Liquid Analysis

Deanna K Johnson

After years of relying on the wealth of knowledge and experience their longtime plant personnel brought to all aspects of liquid analysis, plant managers today find themselves with a retiring workforce, and a staff of inexperienced workers. While they are more digital savvy, less-experienced employees may not have the knowhow to handle routine events such as calibrating a sensor or determining whether to use pH or conductivity…

Your Rosemount Sensors Have “Astronautical” Beginnings!

Deanna K Johnson

Every July 20th, the world celebrates the first two people who landed on the moon, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, and Emerson celebrates a little extra because we were there, too! More specifically, Emerson was represented by our popular Rosemount sensors, which at that time, were part of a separate company, Rosemount Engineering, headed by inventor Frank Werner. Werner was doing research at the University of Minnesota…

Conquer Cost and Maintenance Challenges in Quality Monitoring of High-Purity Water

Deanna K Johnson

Maintaining water quality for assets like boilers and steam turbines is essential to prevent corrosion, maintain efficient operation, and assure environmental protection. The first line of defense in water quality is, of course, pH measurement. But if your plant measures pH in high-purity water, you already know that the process can be costly and very high maintenance. Now, there’s a new, very innovative and straightforward…
