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

    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…

  • Accurate and Reliable Orifice Meters

    Steve Ifft A few weeks ago at the Emerson Exchange conference in Nashville, I wrote a real-time blog post on an experts’ session on flow measurement technologies . Since no one flow measurement technology excels for all applications, this session proved to be a lively & humorous one where each of the Emerson experts extolled the virtues of their flow metering technology and the shortcomings of some of the other technologies…
  • Improving Loss Control through Refinery Mass Balance

    On behalf of a South American refining professional, Emerson’s Julie Valentine presented a case study, Impact of Refinery Mass Balance and Loss Control on Operational Excellence, at the 2019 AFPM Operations & Process Technology Summit . Here’s the abstract from this presentation: Improving a refinery’s mass balance and loss control program for accounting, planning and scheduling, financial, and operational evaluation…
  • Selecting the Right Flowmeter

    From left to right: Trever Ball, Martin Schlebach, Karl Stappert, Wally Baker, Steve Ifft It’s been a whirlwind of a week here at the 2019 Emerson Exchange conference in Nashville. The conference comes to a close Friday morning with one last session with the choice of experts’ session. I’m here in the “Selecting the Right Flowmeter” session to learn from Emerson’s Karl Stappert , Martin Schlebach and Steve Ifft . Emerson…
  • Integrated DP Flow Custody Transfer Solution

    Emerson’s Alena Johnson and Katie Stahl presented, An Integrated Solution from Well to Pipeline at the 2019 Emerson Exchange conference. Alena and Katie opened describing that they are part of the Emerson’s DP Flow business segment. DP (differential pressure) flow measurement is an important measurement in the oil & gas business. Alena described how differential pressure works. A constriction is placed in the flow path…
  • Beer Pipeline and Coriolis Flow Measurement Technology
