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 unique Direct Switch Technology (DST) function of the Rosemount 5300 provides an echo signal that is two to five times stronger than other GWR transmitters.
The improved signal to noise ratio means enhanced ability to handle difficult measuring conditions like long measuring distances and lower dielectrics, also with a single lead probe.
By managing more applications reliably, unplanned downtime can be avoided.

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.
The Rosemount 5300 features the modular design, state-of-the-art electronics and robust housing leveraged from the Rosemount 5400 non-contacting radar.
Electronics and cable connections are located in separate compartments, providing safer handling and improved moisture protection.
The Rosemount 5300 also has a longer measuring range and reliably measures media with lower dielectric constants than other GWR products can achieve.
In addition, it has improved performance in product interface applications and in sticky liquids that cause probe deposits.
The probes of the Rosemount 5300, based on the proven Rosemount 3300, provide multiple layers of protection enabling reliable operation in high temperature and high pressure applications up to 752F (400C) and 5000psig (345bar).
The transmitter seal includes a temperature and pressure barrier in a flexible assembly to handle forces induced by probe movement and temperature variations.
A second brazed hermetic, gas-tight seal provides another layer of protection, and the entire assembly is welded into a stainless steel sleeve for total robustness.
Probes are available in materials such as SST, Hastelloy, Monel, and PTFE-covered SST to withstand corrosive environments.
The two-wire technology of the Rosemount 5300 enables fast and inexpensive installation.
Foundation fieldbus, HART and PlantWeb functionality means the transmitter integrates easily into new or existing control systems.
Add maintenance-free operation and the result is a quicker return on the level instrumentation investment.
Rosemount 5300 High Performance Guided Wave Radar is part of the Emerson broad range of intelligent, digital field devices that power the PlantWeb digital plant architecture to improve plant efficiency by 2% and more through delivering asset optimisation, process automation, and management execution.
