Issues with heat exchangers are the second largest reason for slowdown/shutdown in the refining industry. It is essential to have a robust and accurate control of the level in the heat exchanger as that ensures energy efficient operation of the distillation with the right quality at the top of the column. A reliable measurement ensures that the heating coils are always covered with liquid to prevent any overheating incidents is required, the Rosemount 5300 Level Transmitter is the recommended solution.
The new Rosemount™ 2140 is the world's first wired HART® vibrating fork level detector for applications including overfill prevention, high and low level alarms, and pump protection. Providing reliable level detection of all liquids as well as sediments, the Rosemount 2140 offers greater ease-of-use and flexibility with smart diagnostics that continuously monitor electronic and mechanical device health, and a fully integrated remote proof-testing capability, helping to increase safety and efficiency of both plant and workers. The Rosemount 2140:SIS is certified to IEC 61508 (SIL 2) for safety-critical applications.
