Wirelessly Enabling Flow Meters

Posted by TechStar on Aug 20, 2020 11:26:00 AM

Measuring the flow of a fluid or gas is essential to many industrial processes. Many technologies exist to measure flow including Electromagnetic, Ultrasonic, Turbine, Vortex, Positive Displacement, Coriolis, and Thermal Mass flow meters. The ability to monitor the flow rate and flow totals from various flow meters wirelessly enables users to avoid costly conduit runs from the point of the flow measurement back to a central controller.

In the pulp and paper industry, emissions of hazardous gas caused by chemical reactions during pulp production can pose a dangerous operating environment. To ensure the highest safety standards for employees while meeting industry environmental regulations, paper mills must continuously monitor levels of gases such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) within different areas of the facility to ensure they remain within limit values.

How Do Flares Work?

Posted by TechStar on Mar 3, 2020 11:07:00 AM

Flare systems are designed to safely burn excess hydrocarbon gases that cannot be recovered or recycled. Flare stacks are primarily used for burning off flammable gas released by pressure relief valves during unplanned over-pressuring of plant equipment. During flaring, the excess gases are combined with steam and safely burned in the flare. This is safer and more environmentally friendly than releasing the hydrocarbons directly into the atmosphere.

What is the Difference – Instrument Data Sheets and Application Data Sheets

Posted by TechStar on Feb 4, 2020 11:05:00 AM
An  Application Data Sheet  may seem redundant when you already have a completed Instrument Data Sheet from the buyer/user yet there are differences in the kinds of information provided by each that will help assure the best possible instrument selection. Because today’s equipment is complex, it is very easy for manufacturers to imply, and customers to infer, for example, that a function or a feature is standard when it actually requires an upgrade or is not even available or suitable for the specific application being addressed.
