In today's volatile economic landscape, where fluctuating commodity prices and supply chain disruptions will affect process costs, decision-makers in the industrial sector face unprecedented pressure to optimize operations and maximize return on investment (ROI). With prices expected to rise for raw materials and energy, every efficiency gained translates directly to the bottom line. In this environment, the often-overlooked area of flow measurement presents a powerful opportunity to secure significant ROI, particularly in industries like manufacturing, oil & gas, and wastewater management.

Gas monitoring at any facility is an important task, but despite best efforts, refrigerant leaks may still occur. Prompt detection can allow users to deal effectively with leaks. This blog explores key considerations for successful gas detection installation to help promote safety of your facility.

As a safety professional, selecting flame detectors that align with your facility’s requirements is essential. Discover the key factors to consider when choosing a flame detection system.

Wastewater treatment plants (also called Water Resource Facility WRFF) must treat the water before it can be released back into the environment (rivers, lakes, etc) and before it can be used as drinking water for a city, town, or municipality.

Natural gas is a vital energy source used globally for various applications, including power generation, heating, and industrial processes. Its abundance and relatively low carbon emissions have made it a popular choice for meeting energy needs. However, to ensure the safe and efficient use of natural gas, it is essential to measure and control any impurities present in the gas that can affect the intended end use. Moisture, or water vapor, is one of the most common impurities in natural gas. In this blog, we will delve into the significance of measuring moisture in natural gas, the impact of water vapor on the properties of natural gas, the technologies used for moisture measurement, and best practices for installation and maintenance to ensure accurate readings and overall system efficiency.

Vortex flowmeters are highly versatile devices that can measure the flow of liquids, gases, and steam across a wide range of temperatures and pressures. Their unique advantages make them particularly well-suited for measuring steam flow, offering benefits over other types of flowmeters.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOO, or Quad O, is a federal regulation under the Clean Air Act for reducing harmful air quality emissions from oil and gas facilities.

The EPA issued a final rule effective May 7, 2024, containing new source performance standards (NSPS) regulating greenhouse gases (GHGs) and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions for the oil and gas industry. It also finalized guidelines for states to follow in developing their emission reduction standards for limiting fugitive emissions from existing sources.

In industrial settings where flammable materials are handled, flame detection systems are an important layer of safety programs. False alarms in these systems disrupt operations and can risk desensitizing personnel to alerts. Different flame detection methods have different false alarm profiles in different applications. Advanced flame diagnostic technologies have been and are being developed to enhance these systems, including to reduce false alarms. Among these technologies, artificial neural networks (ANNs) stand out as a promising option, offering false alarm reduction.

When should you use Ultrasonic? And when is Radar more suitable? Thanks to our industry leading technology, and built-in DATEM echo discrimination algorithms in our software, you can usually count on ultrasonic level sensors to get the job done for you. However, there are some instances where you want to consider using a radar sensor.
