Nothing But Water in the Water Drain
Jim Cahill
4C-HSE’s Steve Probst and Emerson’s Marcio Donnangelo presented Nothing But Water in the Water Drain at the 4C Health, Safety & Environmental Conference. The tank dewatering process starts with storage tanks that hold hydrocarbon feedstocks, intermediates, and finished products. Over time, water separates and collects in the tanks. Water is drained from storage tanks, reducing corrosion and potential process problems…

Radar provides most accurate and reliable solution for water level measurement
Jim Cahill
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…

Improved Instrumentation Necessary to Support Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Refueling Infrastructure
Jim Cahill
Many antique collectors love “visible” gasoline pumps that were common roughly a century ago. They’re the tall ones with a large glass graduated cylinder at the top. When filling up, the station attendant would manually pump gasoline into the cylinder, and then allow it to drain via gravity into the customer’s car. The amount charged was the difference between the starting and ending measurements. Obviously, not the most…

Achieving Ethylene Purity Calls for Selecting Right Gas Analyzer
Jim Cahill
More than 100 years ago, Ivory Soap started claiming, and still says, its bar of soap is “ninety-nine and forty-four-one-hundredths percent pure.” At the time, that was an astonishing figure, but in much of the chemical manufacturing industry today, 99.44% purity doesn’t cut it. With ethylene manufacturing, producers want 99.99% purity. This sounds like a challenging goal, but with a stable and effective process, it’s…

How Pure Does Hydrogen Need to Be? And How Do We Measure It?
Jim Cahill
One of the interesting aspects of our growing hydrogen economy is the way that it is turning up in all sorts of new places and applications. Ammonia plants and refineries have been handling hydrogen for decades, but the proliferation of electrolyzers, fuel cells, and various residential uses has all sorts of people needing to learn a lot about hydrogen very quickly. For example, one common question: “How pure does hydrogen…

Laser-based Microleak Detection Improves Aerosol Production Efficiency and Product Safety
Jim Cahill
The aerosol manufacturing industry has come a long way since the introduction of “bug bombs” during WWII. To meet today’s high demand for aerosol products, assembly lines must produce copious volumes in a wide variety of packaging, while upholding high standards of safety and quality. Any product defects—including split gaskets in valves, pinholes in cans, molding flash on valve components, and clinch or crimp failures…

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…
