From start up to full Operation.
Accurate steam measurement: From start up to full Operation. Introduction Steam has often been described as the ‘lifeblood’ of industry. It is the medium by which heat from a boiler is converted into an easily transportable form that can provide diverse services from office heating to the mechanical energy that drives turbine generators. Steam is still one of the most popular methods of providing an energy source to a process and its associated operations. STARDOM allowed for full process control similar to what is expected a DCS with thethat lower cost point of a consumption PLC. It It is now afrom well-accepted fact measuring energy also tight integration withtoFAST/TOOLS to efficiency. allow for is anfeatured important factor in the quest improve energy rapid screen development and is data integrityto through data Efficient and accurate metering paramount determining buffering and backfill onan network orpicture serverof outage. excess use, along with accurate whereto the steam STARDOM allowed for full process control similar what is is being used.

FAST/TOOLS to allow for rapid screen development and data integrity through data buffering and backfill on network or server outage. The Challenges Most boiler systems are scalable to the plant’s needs, meaning steam generation can be ramped up or down depending on the need from the facility. This can range from low flows during start up, to higher flows during full operation and back down to low flows during downtimes of maintenance. It is important however that accurate measurement of steam is essential in controlling boiler efficiency and safety. The more accurate and reliable measurements that are made, the more informed decisions can be taken that affect costs and product quality. Traditionally the most common of to steam metering is Only ONE STARDOM FCN wasmethod required guarantee total the orifice plare and differential transmitter technique. control of the pilot plant, makingpressure all the I/O connections General the areas of concern with this type of measurement are through following modules: the orifice plate’s susceptibility to wear introducing immediate theModules. relatively losses ·inaccuracies, 3 Analog Input Only ONE STARDOM FCNhigh waspermanent required topressure guarantee total into theplant, system by theallorifice plate and the small ·introduced 2 Analog Output Modules. control of the pilot making the I/O connections typically 3:1. ·measuring 2 Thermocouple Input Modules. through the range, following modules: · 3 Analog Input Modules. · 2 Analog Output Modules. · 2 Thermocouple Input Modules.

In order to measure larger turn downs with a orifice, the plates must be changed periodically and the pressure transmitters re-calibrated and spanned. Vortex meters are known to be superior devices for steam flow measurement due to their inherent linear measurement, large turndown, low pressure drop and high accuracy. It is often thought that it is no problem to install a line size meter to capture a wide range of flows but is not always the case. practice of can PETRAMIN is athat company dedicated to theThis production lead to losing a lot of the low end measurement.

Featured Solutions While formerly two to three different types of orifice plates had to be changed to adapt to fluctuations in the line flow rate, this is no longer necessary with the digital YEWFLO reduced bore type. This model reduces installation cost and expands the range of applications available to end user. The flow meter is available with a single reduction or a double reduction in bore size, while still keeping the same face to face dimension of a standard full bore vortex. This makes installations on new projects simplified with no need for additional reducers STARDOM allowed for swapping full process control similar Vortex to whatunits is or piping, and it makes already installed expected from a DCS with the lower cost point of a PLC.

The mainand benefits of Yokogawa’s reduced type vortex flow meter: • Minimum measurable flow up to five times lower than conventional vortex flow meter. • Integrated construction with reducers built into the flow meter body. • The same face-to-face dimensions ease the task of installing other sizes or types of digitalYEWFLO flow meters. • No need for costly piping modifications such as reducers/ expanders or short pipes to achieve the required straight pipe length. • Increases the space for installation of additional instrumentation Yokogawa vortex flowmeters are also well suited to high temperature applications, and the quality of flow management can be improved even further through the use of anti-vibrating efficiency and self diagnostic functions that rely on the PETRAMIN is SSP a company digitalYEWFLO's system.dedicated to the production of alkyl-amines since 1983.
