Overview

As industrial operations become more connected, OT cybersecurity is no longer just an IT concern. It is an operational reliability concern.

Modern facilities rely on an increasingly connected ecosystem of PLCs, SCADA systems, HMIs, historians, smart instrumentation, industrial Ethernet, wireless networks, remote access, and enterprise systems.

That connectivity creates new opportunities for automation, visibility, remote support, and better decision-making. But every new connection also creates another consideration for how critical operational systems are accessed and protected.

For today's industrial facility, the challenge isn't simply connecting everything.

Overview

A storage tank may look simple from the outside, but keeping product safely stored and moving through a terminal requires more than a single level measurement.

From inventory monitoring and interface detection to independent overfill protection, each measurement serves a different purpose. Here's a look inside the tank farm at the critical measurements behind safe, reliable midstream storage.

Wireless Monitoring for Modern Industrial Operations

In manufacturing, visibility matters. Pressure, temperature, level and flow measurements provide critical insight into equipment and processes throughout a facility, but getting that data where it needs to go isn't always simple.

A simpler approach to challenging pulp stock flow measurement

Making paper is complicated enough. Measuring pulp stock doesn’t have to add to the paperwork.

Overview

There isn't one flow technology that fits every midstream application. Gas or liquid. Large line or small line. Permanent measurement or temporary verification. The right solution depends on what you're measuring, where you're measuring it, and what you need from the measurement.

Some of the most expensive threats to industrial equipment can start with something you can't see: a small change in water chemistry.

In power generation and other high-purity water applications, water isn't simply a utility. It is an integral part of the process.

Changes in dissolved oxygen, conductivity, sodium, silica, pH, phosphate, and other chemistry parameters can provide an early indication that conditions inside the water and steam cycle are changing. Left unchecked, those changes can contribute to corrosion, deposits, scaling, reduced heat-transfer efficiency, and damage to critical equipment.

That's why understanding water chemistry is an important part of protecting the entire process.

Overview

A study conducted for the Texas Environmental Research Commission (TERC) to support the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) evaluated VOC emission factors and regional emissions of speciated VOCs from oil and natural gas condensate storage tanks at wellhead and gathering sites in East Texas.

Thirty-three tank batteries were used to sample VOC emissions.

Thermal Mass Flow Measurement in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, precision isn't optional. From the ingredients going into a product to the gases supporting production, small variations can have a big impact on quality, consistency and cost.  

Cooling towers are essential heat-transfer units that play a critical role in maintaining water-cooled systems’ efficient and economical operation. They are utilized in various industries, including plastics, dry cleaning, manufacturing, petroleum refining, and electrical generation, to reduce the temperature of the water and repurpose it for repeated use.
