What good is a safety level measurement if you can’t trust it? A coal fired power plant installed an electronic gauging system for both level indication and level alarms on their plant’s steam drums. The system was configured to give Hi and Hi-Hi alarms and to shut down the boiler in case of emergency. However, within two years of operation they experienced leaking electrodes, and some of these leaks then caused false alarms and nuisance trips which proved very costly. They could no longer trust their level alarms to trip the boiler in an emergency. They replaced the old system with an Emerson Mobrey Hydrastep. The system’s electrodes comprise exotic metals and high quality ceramics brazed under very specific conditions. In over a year since installing the Mobrey Hydrastep 2468 the plant has not reported any leaks, false trips, or false boiler shut downs. Sometimes quality alone can make the difference.
