Improving Well Pad Lease Tank Oil Custody Transfer
Jim Cahill
Onshore oil & gas well pads have long used small lease tanks to hold the crude oil before transferring to be hauled away, typically by crude hauling trucks. Traditionally, this custody transfer process has involved operators climbing up the lease tanks, opening the thief hatch and using a measurement stick to manually gauge the level of the crude oil in the tank. This process subjects these operators to hazardous areas…

Chinese Power Plant Demonstrates Criticality of Effective Level Measurement in High Pressure/High Temperature
Bonnie Brown
by Robin Hudson, Rosemount Level Product Manager, Emerson Automation Solutions An interesting case history from a 600 kW coal fired power plant in China has implications for any safety-critical environment. This application involved drain pot alarms on super critical steam lines. As you know, any liquid entering a steam turbine will cause damage. This is costly and even more important, can be dangerous to personnel…

Avoiding Hydrocarbon Leakage During Storage Tank Water Draining Operations
Jim Cahill
Storage tanks play a pivotal role in the supply chain from upstream oil & gas production through downstream petrochemical-based products. Separation of water from the hydrocarbon liquids during storage create the need for operations to remove and treat this water as it builds up over time. Emerson’s Ryo Hashimoto shared a story of an Asian petrochemical manufacturer who had numerous naphtha and pyrolysis gasoline storage…

Reducing maintenance and improving safety and reliability on supercritical steam lines
Peta Glenister
The Mobrey Hydratect 2462 Water and Steam Detection System is the modern equivalent to float level switches and is suitable for process conditions of 4350 psi / 300 bar and 1040° F / 560°C. It is used on safety critical applications to detect the unwanted presence of water in steam, or the water level within a steam drum. A new Emerson case study details a typical application for the Mobrey Hydratect 2462. The system…

Solve Ammonia Slip with DeNOx Optimization Solution
Bonnie Brown
by Amanda Gogates, Cascade Global Product Manager, Emerson Nitrogen oxides are powerful pollutants that can cause smog and acid rain and contribute to the development of tropospheric ozone. It’s critical to control nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions to protect the environment and meet environmental regulatory requirements. NOx occurs as a result of combustion occurring in the presence of nitrogen and results from combustion…

Simplifying Continuous Gas Chromatograph Online Analysis Installation
Jim Cahill
Gas chromatographs (GCs) are used in natural gas applications to measure the hydrocarbon components. The heavier natural gas liquids beyond butane and pentane are referred to as C6+ hydrocarbons. Gas chromatographs performing C6+ analysis are used by hydrocarbon processing facilities when high-quality product specifications are required or when rigid custody transfer standards are needed in natural gas trading operations…

Solving stringent insurer safety requirements
Peta Glenister
A waste treatment specialist company in France was using differential pressure (DP) transmitters to measure and control the level within their two steam drums. However, after a recent review, the plant’s insurers were concerned that if the DCS was to fail, the DP measurement would be lost and there would be no way of knowing the level within the steam drum. This could lead to the steam drum running dry, or rising level…
