washing process,
the water delivered
by a plant's pumps
is typically performing
an essential
task. Often operating
at the heart of critical processes, the failure of these pumps
frequently leads to reduced or lost production and increased
maintenance costs, as well as the potential for safety and environmental
incidents.
Typically, an organization dynamically monitors only its most
critical and expensive pumps. Whether due to expense, remote location
of devices, or difficulty of installation, continuous monitoring
is avoided on the remainder of a plant's pumps in favor of clipboard
walk-arounds and periodic handheld measurement. As a result,
many pumps run blind, increasing the risk of failures, fires, leaks,
and other dangerous situations.
The ability to detect and monitor changes in vibration on any
pumps in the plant is critical to avoiding pump damage, environmental
incidents, and costly downtime. With Emerson's AMS 6500
ATG with embedded prediction, the engineering requirement and
cost of applying predictive technologies is no longer an obstacle to
monitoring nearly all of a plant's pumps.
Emerson's AMS 6500 ATG is a stand-alone protection solution
that also allows users to cost-effectively introduce prediction
monitoring of critical assets from the same system. The
AMS 6500 ATG can be set up to deliver a wide range of protection
measurements from the field, including all required
TSI measurements, which include embedded prediction capabilities
such as the impacting or peak-to-peak data used
in Emerson's PeakVue technology. With prediction data from
PeakVue technology, users can cut through the complexity of
machinery analysis to provide a simple, reliable indication of
pump health, filtering out traditional vibration signals and focusing
exclusively on impacting.
Moreover, advanced prediction functionality is available
on top of the predictive diagnostic capabilities within the AMS
6500 ATG. AMS Machinery Manager can communicate with the
AMS 6500 ATG via wired or wireless networks, depending on
hardware, to provide high-resolution waveform and spectrum
analysis, making it simple to extend prediction and protection
monitoring to include balance of plant assets in a comprehensive
monitoring solution.
As many as 50 percent of machinery malfunctions that lead to
downtime are process induced, and 90 percent are predictable, or
even controllable. The AMS 6500 ATG provides the impact data with
actionable alerts that will help reduce production losses, cut maintenance
costs, improve safety, and eliminate incidents to pump
management.

KROHNE Expands Range
of OPTIWAVE Radar Level
Instruments
I
deally suited for liquid or solids applications in chemical, petrochemical,
mineral industries
Beverly, MA: KROHNE, Inc. announces the addition of three 24
GHz and three 80 GHz OPTIWAVE Radar Level transmitters to its
product line, which complement the existing 6 GHz and 10 GHz devices.
The entire range of OPTIWAVE 2-wire loop-powered FMCW
radar level transmitters for liquids and solids is ideally suited to industries
from chemical and petrochemical to mining, minerals and
metals processing and cover liquid and solid applications.
With the OPTIWAVE 1010 (6 GHz), the OPTIWAVE 5200 (10
GHz) and now the new OPTIWAVE series of 24 and 80 GHz radars,
KROHNE offers the appropriate frequency for each application. The
new OPTIWAVE 5400 / 6400 / 7400 (24 GHz) and OPTIWAVE 3500 /
6500 / 7500 (80 GHz) radars are each designed for specific industry
needs, delivering reliable and accurate level measurement of liquids
and solids, even in most difficult applications.
KROHNE offers an extensive choice of process connections
starting from " for each of the new radar level transmitters, as well
as Lens, Drop and Horn antennas to suit all process and installation
conditions. The OPTIWAVE transmitters offer a measuring range
from the antenna edge up to 100 m (328 ft), with accuracy from ±2
mm (±0.08 " ). The OPTIWAVE transmitters can measure products
with dielectric constants as low as 1.4, and feature a quick setup assistant
for easy commissioning as well as an empty tank spectrum
function for eliminating false reflections.
