• Not A Drop Of Oil Lost: How Modern Clamp-On Technology Contributes To A Reliable And Cost-Efficient Pipeline Management

  Transporting crude oil and petroleum products through pipelines is currently the most efficient way to distribute these energy sources to their respective destinations. To protect the environment and against loss in value due to leakage or theft, systems for leakage detection are required. To ensure safe operation, pipeline management systems must be continuously adapted to the state of the art. Modern and improved ultrasonic clamp-on flow meters offer cost-effective options at this point.

• Midwestern Utility Takes Data Collection From Manual To Automatic

  Read how a publicly owned electric, gas, and water utility taps FreeWave Technologies for new connectivity and edge data collection solution, and achieves immediate, significant results. 

• Building The Digital Oilfield Of The future

  Explore how technology is redefining oil field production and data communications.

• Low CAPEX Network Upgrade

  Read how a large independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company in Texas boosted production by replacing an existing network of radios. 

• Full-Bore, Unrestricted Mounting Flow Meter For Municipalities

  Like all wastewater treatment facilities, the City of Pendleton WWTRRF faces the daily challenge of maintaining water safety and quality for the city while improving energy consumption and meeting city, state and national regulations. Endress+Hauser’s Promag W 0xDN electromagnetic flowmeter provides stable measurement solutions regardless of mounting locations.

• Helping Breweries Cut Natural Gas Costs And Waste Gas Emissions

  No matter whether consumers choose a pilsner, an ale, or another popular type of beer, there is a critical focus at nearly all breweries today on their production process energy (natural gas) costs and plant environmental compliance (waste gas emissions). Failing to pay attention to the efficiency of these processes at breweries or any other type of food and beverage processing plant can lead to cost competitiveness issues and hefty regulatory fines.

• Meeting The Global Methane Pledge

  Carbon emissions have long been the focus of global efforts to reduce the impact of industrial activities on the environment. In September 2021, the US and the EU proposed that the reduction of methane emissions into our atmosphere could have a significant and fast acting impact on the pace of global heating over the coming decades. 

• Fast And Efficient Solution For Crude Oil Measurement For Refiners Using NIR Technology To Optimize The CDU Process Rapidly And Proactively

  Historically, optimization in the refinery has been concentrated on final products, (e.g., gasoline and diesel), and has slowly shifted focus to conversion and upgrading process units within the refinery, such as for naphtha conversion, catalytic conversion, upgrading units, and alkylation. Still, there remains one especially important element of the refinery that has not been well optimized: rapid and online characterization of crude oil composition.

• Refinery Improves Boiler Air-To-Fuel Mixture Performance With Help From Multipoint Thermal Flow Meter

  A major oil refinery’s plant team ran into challenging issues when they attempted to optimize their large primary boiler system, which initially perplexed the plant’s process engineers. After extensive study, it was determined there was a problem controlling the boiler’s burner air-to-fuel mixture ratio.

• Controlling Your Natural Gas Burn To Cut Fuel Costs And Emissions

  Nearly all industrial processes and manufacturing operations rely on natural gas as a fuel, even if it is only for plant heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). Heavy duty industrial plant processes (Figure 1), such as those found in oil and gas, refining, chemical production and electric power generation, as well as those in the manufacturing industries, including steel, aluminum, glass and others, depend heavily on natural gas to fuel the processes used in their production.

• ABB Technology Further Strengthens Singapore’s Water Security

  Singapore is using desalination as part of the solution to their water supply issue in order to provide enough clean drinking water for its ever-growing population of 5.5 million.

• What You Don’t Know About Air/Gas Flow Measurement Can Be Very Expensive

  The measurement of air and gases in chemical plants is essential in many functional applications, including safety, process control, product quality, production efficiency, environmental compliance and cost. When the measurement of air or gases is inaccurate or inconsistent, the result can be serious accidents, emergency shutdowns, unplanned maintenance, production slow-downs or cost over-runs.
