3D level measuring technology

AMETEK Drexelbrook's "Cote-Shield" technology revolutionises point level detection in tanks and vessels by effectively ignoring conductive coatings on the sensing element, ensuring a reliable, repeatable measurement and maintenance-free operation. This technology overcomes the common issue of false alarms caused by process coating buildup that can cause false alarms potentially interrupting the critical process and costing loss in profits.

Cote-Shield addresses this issue by introducing a three-terminal style probe design that incorporates a Cote-Shield element, that ignores process coating buildup and prevents false alarms. This innovation enables Drexelbrook's level devices to function reliably, even under the most challenging process conditions. Preventing these types of failures can help save on preventative maintenance, automate your process, and save money.

Renowned for their reliability, Drexelbrook's level devices equipped with Cote-Shield technology have been deployed in more than 100,000 systems around the world. They are known for delivering consistent results even in harsh conditions and are relied upon by industry leading companies across the globe.

In this podcast from Beamex, we talk about the importance of providing accurate measurements, reliable data and traceability when performing instrument calibrations. We’ll explore how the digitalisation of data helps to improve operational efficiency for optimal asset performance, with examples of industries where calibration occurs, particularly looking at how National Grid has been able to reduce costs and improve efficiency of their calibration processes.

In this podcast, BinMaster’s Regional Vice President of Sales Mike Mossage shares how processing industries can benefit from cloud inventory, the use of continuous level sensors, and the application of Industry 4.0 in making bulk material management more efficient. For more than a decade, Mike has helped industrial manufacturers across diverse industries solve their most complex bulk inventory issues and make peoples’ jobs easier.

The importance of robust, integrated, and secure CQV services in all industries, emphasizing pharmaceuticals.

Recipe control is a very specialist field that applies to a wide range of industry sectors. The data collected by a well designed recipe handling process control system can give deep insights into all aspects of production.

Recipe control can also function as a quality control method or more accurately risk control when the product being made has to meet defined standards and need to be as reliable as possible for incorporation in to end user's finished products.

In this podcast Charles Williams discusses recipe control from his experience in multiple industries. Charles is second generation in Promtek Ltd, a family owned business in the heart of Stoke on Trent.

Trusting the data in your recipe control system is one of the most important steps you can take to unlock the potential to improve efficiency, sustainability and quality control for your production facilities.

Power plant operators are increasingly looking at ways to optimise the use of water in steam and cooling cycles in thermal power plants. However,  implementing new technologies can present challenges. Robert Stancombe of Mobile Water Services discusses how the use of mobile reverse osmosis assets can help streamline the implementation process and help operators who are increasingly exposed to high chemical costs and supply shortages.

Discover the many advantages of reverse osmosis upstream of a demineralisation plant for high-pressure and cooling water applications and the benefits of using a temporary system. A growing number of plant operators have already gone mobile with the implementation of a reverse osmosis pilot. Better system efficiency, cost savings and reduced environmental impact have even convinced some to extend the mobilisation of the reverse osmosis asset to last a number of years without the need for investment in fixed plants.

Finding new ways to solve customer problems has always been at the core of ABB Measurement & Analytics’ approach to product development. With the global focus on emissions and sustainability, industries are under even more pressure to increase the agility and reliability of emissions monitoring in real time. ABB’s Datalyzer is an application that has been developed to help customers respond to this challenge. 

The solution offers enterprise grade, comprehensive, cloud-based analyser fleet monitoring, unlocking the value of asset data through actionable insights.

Join ABB Measurement and Analytics Digital Lead, David Lincoln, as he discusses how such tools remove complexity by transforming data into valuable business insights, not just for emissions monitoring but for all process industries looking to maximise uptime.
