Oil Terminal Improves Efficiency With High-Capacity Flowmeter
7/14/2020
Production of crude oil in the U.S. is expected to increase dramatically, putting pressure on terminals, tank farms and pipeline distribution facilities. Coriolis flowmeters can handle the increased flow.

Making Multiple Temperature Measurements
7/14/2020
Multipoint thermometers simultaneously measure temperature in multiple locations, either horizontally or vertically, within a process. Horizontal measurements could involve reading multiple temperature points at some level across a batch reactor or process vessel. A vertical temperature profile could be composed of top to bottom measurements in a tank.

Detecting Water Carryover In Natural Gas
7/14/2020
Natural gas, as it comes from a well, contains water. Before transferring the gas into a pipeline for distribution, as much water as possible must be removed to eliminate carryover, with any remaining water detected to alert operators.

Vibrating Fork Level Instruments Come Of Age
7/14/2020
While the basic technology of vibronic instruments hasn’t changed much over the years, today’s instruments now employ technological innovations to bring them into the digital age, meet the needs of Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), provide diagnostics themselves, and provide access from mobile devices. This article describes those developments and shows how they benefit end users.

An Improved Approach To Expanding Natural Gas Operations
3/16/2020
Global energy demand and environmental concerns continue to fuel growth in natural gas, one of the cleanest natural resources on the planet. This substantial shift in the energy landscape in recent years is driving U.S. investments in new liquefaction facilities and the transition of liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminals to export facilities. Meanwhile, shale production has also resulted in cross-country pipeline networks and storage facilities.

Endress+Hauser’s Multiparameter Levelflex FMP55 Solves Emulsion Interface Measurement In Separators
6/3/2019
A leading oilfield exploration company was having issues with a standard guided wave radar device that was directly installed into a separator measuring overall level and interface level. In guided wave radar devices, the microwave pulse emitted from the transmitter gets reflected at the air/oil interface (for overall level) is detected and part to pulse continues through the oil to the oil/water interface (for interface level) where a second reflection is created. However, if an emulsion (approximately > 2”) exists, then the guided wave radar will not work reliably as the reflection from the interface is greatly decreased.

Advances In Flowmeter Proving For Shale Fields
6/3/2019
In the past, calibrating flowmeters in remote shale fields required removing the meters and sending them to a calibration lab or using local provers. Now, mass and density calibration has come to the field.

Improve Reliability And Decrease Alarm Count
6/3/2019
The purpose of this paper is to discuss how to decrease alarms due to redundant level devices not matching especially in applications with high pressure and/or high temperature. The importance of Gas Phase Compensation (GPC) and how it affects level readings of guided wave radar (GWR) devices is critical. The presence of polar gas also can have an effect on the accuracy of any GWR that does not have GPC when installed in applications where high temperature or pressure is present. This paper will discuss these issues and address how to overcome them.
