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.
Testing times
The power of sensing systems today is to be found less in the range of techniques, technologies and hardware designs, and more in their on-board software. Brian Tinham reports
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.
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
Virtuoso performance
It won't have escaped your attention that instrumentation and control is encroaching inexorably into our bailiwicks. It started in condition-based maintenance, with plant engineers using, for example, portable ultrasonic flowmeters, vibration monitors and infrared thermal cameras. Now, like it or not, we're increasingly responsible - and not just for equipment installation, commissioning and test, but increasingly also troubleshooting and, in some cases, specification.
