Hazardous Area Classifications and Automation Solutions

The hazardous location classification system in use in Canada for areas containing vapours of flammable liquids is the “Zone” system. The zone system is slightly different from the previous “Division” system of classification. Engineers often take conservative approach in specifying electrical equipment for hazardous locations. The person may lack information regarding the operations conducted in an area, or they might not understand the behaviour of materials, different protection methods available or the applicable code requirements. Whatever the reason, they fail to apply the requirements of the Electrical Code in a practical fashion. This presentation will talk about basics of Hazardous area classifications and solutions to aid you in your day-to-day business.

Recent Advances for Direct and Indirect Reading Level Gages

Using details from the events at the Texas City Refinery in 2005 and the Philadelphia Refinery in 2019 as a backdrop, we’ll explore ASME Section I Code requirements for level indication and move on to recent directions for improving the safety and reliability of level gages at powerhouses and in process units at refineries. As a contributor to the US Chemical Safety Board investigation at Texas City and with a long connection to the Philadelphia Refinery, Mr. Henwood shares ways to protect plant assets and personnel with better technology that can make a real difference in unit performance and longevity.

Permasense Corrosion Monitoring

It is essential for operators to monitor both the risk of corrosion and erosion, and their impact on asset health. Our non-intrusive systems use unique sensor technology and wireless data delivery to continuously monitor for pipework metal loss from corrosion or erosion in the most difficult environments. Rosemount Wireless Permasense systems reliably deliver unmatched quality and frequency of data for better-informed operational decision making and enable safer, more profitable operations. Get ongoing visibility of corrosion and erosion trends in real-time with unique ultrasonic sensors that continuously measure pipe thickness. The Sensor system is non-intrusive and battery-powered, allowing for quick and straightforward installation. The reliable, accurate wall thickness data delivered via a WirelessHART® network from the system to the accompanying software can help you make better decisions regarding pipe maintenance and replacement.

Introduction to Immersion Heaters

Industrial Immersion Heaters are an efficient way of heating up liquid solutions in processing equipment and in large tanks through the use of tank immersion heaters.
Using direct heat transfer to heat up liquids allows the liquid to quickly reach the desired temperature using the electric elements such as flanged heaters, screwplug heaters, over the side & bottom heaters and immersion water heaters.
This heating product solution is commonly used in chemical and petrochemical market as well as large water containers that require fast heat up time.
Immersion heaters are an excellent solution to rapid heating in almost any industrial environment and require minimum maintenance.

Smart Power Supplies for Critical Power to Control Systems

A 24VDC power supply failure for a critical process controller or device can lead to an unplanned shutdown of critical plant equipment or processes. The inability to monitor key power supply diagnostics leaves plants unable to prevent such shutdowns or anticipate potential issues. Without critical event visibility, plants don’t have the necessary tools to troubleshoot issues before they become catastrophic. Unfortunately, all power supplies have an end-of-life. Uncertainty around when a power supply will reach that point makes it difficult to plan accordingly. This session provides a real look into the application of smart power supplies and how to utilize this capability to efficiently monitor critical power to the control system.

Improved Combustion Efficiency and Safety Utilizing TDLAS

The energy and chemical industry must embrace triple bottom line performance in order to drive sustainability targets and achieve net-zero emissions; well-being of all; and circular economy. This involves placing equal importance on people, the environment, and profits to drive sustainability outcomes which are existential to everyone.
We at Yokogawa strive to accomplish this with innovation. Our latest TDLS makes plants significantly safer, improves resource efficiency, reduces air emissions, and contributes to enhanced asset profitability.
In this webinar we will discuss the following:

Current state of combustion control – traditional technologies and techniques
What is a TDLS analyzer and how does it work?
Advantages of TDLS technology and benefits to users
Yokogawa TDLS platform: features and benefits as they apply to combustion
