  • Improving Pump Continuous Monitoring

    Jim Cahill
    Unless you are lucky enough to have a process that flows downhill, you likely have pumps moving liquids through the process. And if these liquids come in large volumes such as hydrocarbon movement and storage facilities, these pumps can be very large and dangerous should failures occur. In a World Pipelines article, Flow management starts with pumps , Emerson’s Wally Baker describes how to improve reliability…

  • Batch Repeatability through Instrument Performance and Diagnostics

    Jim Cahill
    Author: Kyle Knutson Batch repeatability is critical in pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing. Variations between batches that cause deviations require extensive analysis, either in real-time or post-process, to identify how to control and minimize this variation in the future. The consequences of unacceptable batch variation can be anything from extensive maintenance hours, to temporary halts in production…

  • Ways to Improve Pump Reliability

    Jim Cahill
    A U.S. Department of Energy study on pump life cycle costs notes that maintenance and energy costs make up the vast majority of lifecycle costs. Pumps that are critical to the operation of the process typically are installed with online condition-based monitoring (CBM) systems to help prevent failures and provide early warning to allow repairs to be made before slowdowns or shutdowns occur. In complex processes such as…

  • Monitoring Control Loops for Leakage Current and Increased Resistance

    Jim Cahill
    Control systems rely on the signals coming back from measurement devices to perform control operations and provide feedback to operators. Unfortunately the signal from these devices can be impacted by several conditions. These conditions include damage and corrosion, water or condensation in the junction box or terminal compartment, power supply deterioration and grounds or electrical shorts.
