Water Treatment
A local public utility district has a freshwater collection tank that sometimes fills rapidly and other times slowly. At times the main pump could not keep up. Watch to see the solution.
The key to making the proper decisions on condition monitoring is to understand what kind of information is required, how often that information is needed and what kind of budget is in play.
The concepts of “preventive maintenance” and “condition monitoring” are not always characterized in a way that is entirely accurate. They sometimes seem to be treated as a “one-size-fits-all” service that many operators believe they need. However, these concepts can mean very different things depending on the application.
The V-Cone is often implemented in upstream, midstream, and even downstream oil and gas processes to measure a variety of flow media in various states and temperatures. The V-Cone’s options for customization are among the many factors that prompt customers to choose this meter for such diverse and varied applications.
Given the need for accuracy, consistency and repeatability, brewers should always choose the highest quality meter they can afford. Flow metering is all about optimizing production to give the brewer consistent and reliable results through understanding the precise temperatures, pressures and flow being used.
When space is tight and straight-run piping is at a premium, V-Cone® differential pressure meters are an excellent choice — especially where the potential for turbulence raises metering accuracy issues. This article describes how to satisfy some challenging water infrastructure applications with the V-Cone meter.
Countless companies have published initiatives on water conservation and efficiency, often for compliance, financial benefits, and social responsibility. According to the EPA, water-related uses account for 19% of California’s electricity, 30% of its natural gas and 88 billion gallons of diesel fuel every year.
Failure to capture meter readings at the low end of the production scale is a missed opportunity for steam system operators. Here’s why that is happening and what you can do to attack the problem.
Recently an article was published that presented an easily constructed Excel sheet that estimates hydrodynamic noise in control valves1. A number of people have asked me if there is something similar for aerodynamic noise.
A veteran of valve sizing with more than 40 years of experience provides his perspective on how to calculate the compressibility factor of a real gas for control valve sizing purposes.
A lesson for me is that I need to involve you earlier in the program.
You were tireless in your support and it will not be forgotten!
