Safe, Reliable and Accurate Loading and Unloading Operations
Jim Cahill
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
Jim Cahill
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
Jim Cahill
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
Jim Cahill
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…

Accurate, Reliable Measurements for Saturated Steam Measurements
Jim Cahill
As summer winds 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 last year’s big freeze event in…

Why Radar Gauges are a Better Choice than Servo Technology for Liquefied Gas Applications
Jim Cahill
In tank gauging systems for cryogenic vessels that contain liquefied gases such as LNG and LPG, reliable level measurement is vital for inventory management and custody transfer purposes, and to prevent overfills. Servo gauges have often been used to perform level measurement in these applications. However, in a Tank Storage magazine article, ‘ The right level measurement for liquefied gas ’, Johan Sandberg, business…
