Comparing Magnetrol’s revolutionary new multiphase detector with the radiometric gauging approach to level profiling.
The process of manufacturing bitumen begins by pumping crude oil through a heat exchanger system that increases the temperature of the oil to about 200°C. The oil is then pumped to a furnace to further raise the temperature to around 300°C, which will partially vaporize it. Then it is ready to enter an Atmospheric Distillation Column (ADC).
A magnetic level indicator is often used in applications where a sight glass (or glass sight gauge) is either ill-suited based on process variables or is underperforming based on plant requirements. These can include enhanced safety for personnel; environmentally risky situations including media leakage or fugitive emissions; need for maintenance reduction; or need for high visibility from a distance. Typical shortcomings of glass sight gauges include...
A Guide to Level Instrumentation for Onshore/Offshore Natural Gas Processing.
Conveying bulk granular materials is common in Pulp and Paper, Coal Fired Power Plants, Agriculture, Food products, Aggregates, and Mining industries. Chutes used to convey these materials are prone to plugging resulting in down time and possible material overflow.
Many liquid tanks in the chemical, refining, food & beverage, life sciences and other process industries can, at times, have foam present. The dynamic nature of foam means there is no “one-size-fits-all” measurement solution. In addition to knowing what type of measurement is required, it is also critical to consider the characteristics of the foam itself.
Objective: To identify key areas in the steam generation cycle, condensate recovery system and waste heat recovery process where cost-effective instrumentation solutions offer a tangible return on investment over the short-term. The goal is to reduce heat rate, environmental impact, fuel and water consumption, water treatment and maintenance costs in commercial and heavy industries where steam generation is essential to the production processes.
Interface or multiphase level measurements exist throughout the Oil & Gas streams as well as Petrochemical. While level measurement technologies have come a long way in effectively measuring liquids and solids, multiphase level measurement continues to be the biggest challenge and opportunity that exists today to which there is no perfect technology. However, experience has shown that process optimization and increased uptime can still be achieved in many separator applications through reliable, best-in-class, level technology. The objective of this paper is to review interface challenges, the current technologies being utilized for interface, field experience in various applications to achieve process optimization and increased uptime, and the future of reliable interface measurement.
The standard version for operating pressure ranges from 50 bar to 200 bar and temperatures up to 400 °C
Food processing facilities that make products such as tomato paste, baby food, cake mixes, condiments, etc. use batch processes in their production facilities. That is, the operator will start with an empty vessel and add ingredients to make up the final product.
