Pulsar ultrasonics are no slouch to sludge
Wessex Water is reporting success with seven new sludge blanket monitors, from Pulsar Process Measurement, at its Christchurch sewage treatment works.
On the level
Last year, we began a series of features on instrumentation and control, aimed at helping plant engineers to skill-up. In the first feature we covered pressure and flow equipment. In this second piece, we move on to level instruments - choices, sizing and what works best and why.
Swedish tank farm stays safe with Emerson wireless
FH Tank Storage is using Emerson Process Management's Rosemount wireless level and pressure transmitters to provide overspill protection at its 13,000m3 68-tank Kalmar storage terminal, in Sweden.
Taking control
Plant engineers wedded to particular instrument and control types might do well to widen the net. Brian Tinham examines recent developments in instrumentation and control
Manifolds cut time and cost of dp level installation by 85%
A highly integrated manifold concept is offering plant engineers a radically simpler means of installing level measurement instrumentation to process tanks and vessels.
Sense of purpose
It's instructive to find that, even in 2013, new sensing technologies are being developed that can transform industrial measurements.
Staying skilled
All forms of engineering require precision. Technological advancements are aiding employees with their measurement work, but learning and retaining practical measurement skills is also a must, as Adam Offord discovers
