The Rosemount 8800CD vortex meter sensor has an all-welded body design, with no crevices, process seals or pockets where particles might collect. In addition, as a dual sensor unit, the 8800CD provides two separate flow measurements, enabling one sensor to provide the process control signal, and the other to be used in the SIS loops, based on the FMEDA assessment of the Rosemount vortex sensor technology.
Netherlands based Shell engineers undertook a three-month trial with a Rosemount 8800CD on one furnace line, which provided reliable measurement with no problems and no cleaning required.
The Rosemount vortex flowmeters are part of Emerson's 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 optimization, process automation, and management execution.
Emerson is a global leader in bringing technology and engineering together to provide innovative solutions to customers through its network power, process management, industrial automation, climate technologies, and appliance and tools businesses. Sales in fiscal 2004 were $15.6 billion.
Shell Nederland Chemie BV manufactures base chemicals from the petroleum fractions naphtha, gasoil and LPG. A pipeline transports the naphtha, gasoil and LPG from the Shell refinery at Pernis to Moerdijk. The products made at Moerdijk are used by customers to manufacture many everyday products, such as car components, synthetic fibres, insulation materials, latex paints and anti-freeze.
