Oil & Gas Sees Success with
Wireless Temperature Sensor
NEW APPROACHES TO and examples of asset monitoring
in oil & gas operations seem to be everywhere. As described
by Jim Cahill in a recent Emerson Exchange 365 blog (emersonexchange365.com), BP's Cherry Point Refinery, Blaine,
WA, is a case in point. Cahill is an Emerson Process Expert
(emersonprocessexperts.com) and chief blogger for Emerson
Automation Solutions (emerson.com, Round Rock, TX). His
post discussed the refinery's clamp-on temperature-sensor pilot
project that avoided adding expensive thermowells and nozzles.
In this application, BP wanted to measure the temperature of
process pipes.
According to Cahill, "The pilot project placed one of Emerson's Rosemount X-well clamp-on, wireless transmitters on
a pipe near an existing control thermocouple in a thermowell
and evaluated its performance by comparing it to the thermocouple." The application adds measurement in a quick and
inexpensive fashion and reduces downtime.
