Air Separation Operations
Ensure plant safety, increase asset reliability, and reduce energy.
Ensure plant safety, increase asset reliability, and reduce energy.
Many industrial processes around the globe, from life sciences to steel plants require large volumes of various gases for ancillary applications. These gases are captured from the air we breathe by separating its atmospheric mix into its components, mainly oxygen, nitrogen and argon. This extraction process consumes large amounts of energy and safe storage.
Safety Risk: Leak Detection in Air Separation Units
Within the Air Separator Cold Box, cryogenic temperatures, nitrogen and oxygen present safety hazards. Process leaks give rise to different abnormal operation depending on the quantity and temperature of the liquid or gases released. This can lead to hazardous mixes that can lead to explosion.
Our portfolio of innovative technologies tackles every variable in this process including proper temperature, pressure, flow monitoring and gas detection.
Case Study
Emerson’s wireless system allows for early detection of air conditioning failure, which protects plant data servers from overheating.
Case Study
The wireless instrumentation network provided an added layer of protection against accidental leaks, and greatly reduced the risk of EPA fines and clean-up costs.
Case Study
The Advanced Diagnostic capability contained within the Rosemount 3051S could detect that pulsation was occurring.
Case Study
The 3300 provided an output that is ten times more stable than the previous technology.
