Rivers fields processing facilities.
Emerson Process Management has been selected by Costain Oil, Gas and Process as a major instrumentation and controls supplier for the Rivers fields onshore processing facilities at Barrow in Cumbria.
Upgrading possible for old DCS systems.
New connection, control and display migration products from Emerson permit the easy and rapid conversion from older generation automation systems to the new PlantWeb digital plant architecture.
The 3100 Series transmitters are ideally suited for monitoring liquid level in tanks and open air applications where long maintenance intervals are a key requisite.
The non-contact sensor in the 3100 is made from an inert material offering superior corrosion resistance and low maintenance requirements.
The integral or remote mounted temperature sensor enables automatic corrections where temperature changes in the tank free space could otherwise result in an inaccurate reading.

Measurement instrument platform ramps up.
The Rosemount 3051S is the first measurement platform to enable flexible best practices for pressure, level and flow from just one instrument: production in Europe is ramping up to meet orders.
Available with threaded or flanged connections and suitable for the chemical, oil and gas, power, water and wastewater industries, the transmitters are easy to install and also, thanks to several pre-programmed laws and strapping tables, easy to configure.
Diagnostic information from the 3100 can be captured by using the Emerson AMS Suite software, or by using any other HART communications tool such as the 375 Field Communicator.
These tools, or the local operator interface, can also be used to configure the transmitter.
The transmitters can be combined with the Rosemount 3490 Series of wall and panel mounted control units, providing power and comprehensive control options.
The transmitter is available with two integral relays, adding to the local control functionality and can also provide both high and low level alarms.
The three new transmitters include the 3101, designed for use where an economical liquid level measurement is required with a 4-20 mA output; the 3102 which includes HART communications and integral relays; and the 3105 which is certified intrinsically safe and can be used to measure distance, level, or calculate volume or flow in an open channel.
These new Rosemount ultrasonic transmitters add to the Emerson portfolio of level instrumentation that includes transmitters based on five different measurement technologies - differential pressure, non-contacting radar, guided wave radar, ultrasonics, and vibrating fork.
Rosemount 3100 Series Ultrasonic transmitters are part of the broad range of Emerson intelligent, digital field devices that power PlantWeb digital plant architecture to improve plant efficiency by 2% or more through delivering asset optimisation, process automation, and management execution.
