Process safety in the chemical industry, strong availability
Sustain productivity and efficiency with compliant process safety driven by reliable measurements
Process safety in chemical industry operations is vital, particularly when working with materials that are hazardous to people, the environment, and infrastructure. Maintaining safety compliance whilst ensuring consistency of output, high productivity, and cost effectiveness, is the primary challenge facing today’s chemical manufacturer.
234 mil.
tons of ammonia
is the forecasted global demand for ammonia by 2021 according to the Fertilizer Outlook summary report of the Annual International Fertilizer Association (IFA) Conference 2017.
How we can help
Fully compliant to current safety standards, the Endress+Hauser portfolio of safety measurement technologies spans the critical parameters of complex chemical processes such as extraction, reaction, separation, and filtration, to ensure maximal process control with sustained plant availability and safety.
Broadest safety measurement portfolio developed according to safety by design and fulfilling hazardous area standards: e.g. ATEX, FM, TIIS
Smart sensors with functional safety according to IEC61508, up to SIL 3 for documented proof testing procedures
Worldwide support network of safety expertise
Safety and standards (e.g. ATEX. SIL, WHG) seminars and training for plant personnel
Applications
Accurate measurement for product batch purity
Consistent product quality and purity requires reliable, transparent and accurate metering of critical process parameters, as does ensuring a safe and efficient production process.
Our expertise in the field
Endress+Hauser equips your batch reactor with real two-wire devices for flow and level, ensuring the requisite measurement accuracy while enabling cost savings on cabling, and providing additional space on cable trays:
Increase safety thanks to intrinsically safe output
Enhance protection with comprehensive Ex ia concept with worldwide approvals
Avoid plant shutdowns with fast decision support in case of failure (according to NE 107)
Evaporation of liquid chemicals such as ammonia or alcohols from water creates risks when heating the vessel. Maintaining the appropriate levels is critical, and yet controlling these levels requires highly sophisticated and accurate instrumentation and techniques.
Our expertise in the field
The innovative Endress+Hauser Levelflex FMP54 provides gas phase compensation, the ideal solution for precise level measurement in high-density gas applications:
Accelerate commissioning, maintenance and diagnostics with HistoROM data management concept
Drive time and cost savings with simple proof test concept according to SIL/WHG
Enhance process safety with double ceramic coupling and gas-tight feed through
Leverage real-time data and diagnostics capabilities with HART protocol
Ammonia is a toxic gas when kept at room temperature, explaining why it is best to store it in its liquid state at -33 °C (-27.4 F). Measuring the temperature of both the fluid and the tank walls is essential for the avoidance of hotspots, however as accessing the filled tank is unfeasible, highly robust and accurate sensor technologies are required.
Cover multiple measuring points with only one temperature assembly using our MultiSens Flex TMS01 & TMS02 (approved by pressure regulations such as PED, ASME VIII).
Benefits
A safe chemical process and environment is of the utmost importance in our society. That’s why chemical plant operators carry a special responsibility with regards to safety of their process and for the environment. To fulfill this responsibility they need a trustful partner. We support chemical plant operators as well as engineers and managers by answering any questions about how our instruments and solutions can heighten the safety of their processes and increase efficiency.
