Key instrumentation technologies to tackle the toughest measurement challenges
Just as some people seek out extreme sports, process manufacturing has its extreme applications, and engineers who design for these environments must find ways to safely contain and monitor all manner of dangerous reactions and products.
How maintenance and reliability in gas analysis supports hydrocarbon processing installations
Industrial plants depend on accurate, reliable gas analysis for process control, efficiency, safety and emissions monitoring.
Improved measurement of water content in natural gas
Consumers likely imagine natural gas as a stream of pure methane. Those who are closer to the energy industry know that methane is the major component, but there can easily be dozens of other substances making up a sizeable portion of the total volume.
Design considerations when flaring ethylene oxide
The flaring of gases released from normal process vents and safety valve discharges following an overpressure scenario is widely practiced in refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants.
Innovations
SPECTRO Analytical Instruments has introduced the newest version of its SPECTROGREEN inductively coupled plasma optical emissions spectrometry (ICP-OES) analyzer: the SPECTROGREEN TI, featuring SPECTRO’s proven twin interface (TI).
Innovations
Cowan Dynamics has made advancements to its “C-PAC Module” Pneumatic Manifold and launched the C-PAC store.
Unlock margin by interconnecting refinery optimization silos with closed-loop AI
Refineries and chemical processing plants are complicated to model, control and optimize.
Innovations
H2scan has released its latest product in the HY-OPTIMA™ line of sensors.
How to support condition monitoring with wireless instrumentation networks
When <i>Wireless</i>HART first hit the market in 2008, most of the native devices using it were process measurement instruments.
Applying tools to strengthen safety and risk management
The same characteristics that make hydrocarbons useful as fuels can also make refineries, and any other areas where processing or storage takes place, potentially dangerous.
