  • Accurate, Reliable Measurements for Saturated Steam Measurements

    As summer will soon be winding down here in the Northern Hemisphere, many manufacturers and producers must contend with the effects of falling ambient temperatures on their production processes. For some level measurements, pressure diaphragms, wet legs, and any liquid line can suffer damage when process fluids solidify and expand, potentially causing unplanned unit or plant shutdowns. For example, in the 2021 big freeze…

  • Radar provides most accurate and reliable solution for water level measurement

    Ultrasonic devices have historically provided level measurements in water and wastewater applications, despite their accuracy often being impaired by conditions such as temperature, pressure, foam, turbulence, build-up, wind, dirt and even spiderwebs. In a Process Industry Informer article, ‘ Non-contacting Radars to Replace Ultrasonic Devices for Water Applications ’, I explain why the latest non-contacting radar transmitters…

  • Safe, Reliable and Accurate Loading and Unloading Operations

    Loading and unloading operations for chemical producers must be performed safely, reliably, and accurately. I caught up with Emerson’s Martin McDonough on ways to mitigate risks and improve operational performance. These operations can be some of the highest-risk operations within a facility and account for as much as 80% of transport-related incidents. In addition to mitigating risks to personnel and the environment…

  • Accurate Level Measurements in Boiling Hydrocarbon Applications

    The stated mission of our blog is to connect you with the experts here at Emerson from around the globe. Occasionally, I get copied on communications between a visitor to the blog and one of our experts. In the case of one I saw this morning. I wanted to share a generic version of the exchange and highlight some key points from a presentation shared. The blog visitor asked: I’m currently working in the Permian Basin…

  • 4 reasons why radar level is superior to ultrasonic level technology

    4 reasons why radar level is superior to ultrasonic level technology: Radar and ultrasonic level measurements are both widely used in industrial and environmental applications for measuring the level of liquids and solids in lift stations, tanks, and open channel flows. Both technologies work on the principle of measuring the time of flight between the transmission of the signal and its reflection from the surface…

  • How Advanced Automation Technology Helps to Increase Capacity at LNG Regasification Plants

    Increasing demand for LNG has led to some regasification terminals in Europe importing and managing much larger volumes than usual. However, when plants are operated above their nominal capacity, this increases safety risks in what is already a hazardous environment. Organizations must therefore find ways of increasing the operational efficiency of their assets, to optimize capacity whilst still ensuring that safety is…
