Do you have Fired Heaters, High Performance Furnaces, Incinerators, Selective Catalytic Reduction Units (SCRs), Flare Lines, Tanks to blanket, Reactors to monitor, Marine Terminals for loading or unloading ships and barges?  If so, then you probably either have online gas analyzers or need them.  Many people that own these assets really don’t like online process analyzers or don’t like what it take to keep them running.  Traditionally these analyzers have been more complex then most of the instrumentation that is used in our industry.  This leads to performance less than the user would expect.

Optimum control of production to avoid unnecessary costs

Raw materials and end products are accepted, processed, stored and delivered in almost all industrial processes. In order to optimally control production while avoiding unnecessary costs and ensuring product quality, the volume flows must be recorded correctly and seamlessly. This task should be solved as precisely as possible and with minimum pressure losses. The application-specific parameters must, of course, be taken into account, such as the type and composition of the medium to be measured, process pressure and temperature range.

In almost any chemical production facility, various substances frequently have to be stored temporarily in tanks or tank farms. Depending on the chemical substance involved, this circumstance can sometimes entail a risk of explosion. Elementary protection must therefore be provided to rule out the possibility of explosion. Ideally, this protection should prevent an explosive gas mixture from forming in the tank’s gas phase in the first place. This can be achieved by inerting the gas phase by blanketing it with nitrogen.

Fired Heater is widely used in oil refining and petrochemical industry providing heat for a main process or cracking reaction by fuel combustion.

What is the Users Conference?  

Density is a physical property of matter, and by knowing the density of a mixture you can often infer other properties of the mixture. The vibrating element method is one way of measuring the density of a gas that can be used in power, pulp and paper, refining, and chemical industries.

A solution that is both easy to install and cost effective 

Yokogawa Electric Corporation announces that it has added a network function to the UM33A digital indicator with alarms, a product in the UTAdvanced controller series, and will release this to the market on May 7.

A new IIoT service for the cloud-based management of device information and a key to success in digital asset management

Yokogawa Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6841) announces the introduction*¹ of Device Lifecycle Management, a new IIoT cloud-based service for the management of information on plant assets. This is an information management support service for the digitized asset data of the IIoT era. The Device Lifecycle Management service allows customers to digitalize the management of all device information and helps customers to improve the efficiency of plant maintenance management and the quality of data management.
