IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 the documentation provides safety instrumentation engineers with the required failure data and with proof test recommendations. With a five-year-plus proof test interval, the proof test can be co-ordinated with plant turnaround, minimising process interruption and reducing risk to personnel. The Rosemount 5300 series is a two-wire GWR for challenging level and interface measurements on liquids, slurries and solids. It leverages the company’s 30 years of radar expertise and is designed to improve plant profitability through superior reliability, state-of- the-art safety features, effortless handling and unlimited connectivity.
It has an enhanced capability to handle disturbing factors, longer measuring range, and lower dielectrics, even with a single probe. The robust design prevents leakage and performs reliably, especially under extreme process conditions.
Heavy-duty probes are available to meet the extreme temperatures and pressure challenges with multiple layer of protection and advanced echo logics for reliable overfill detection.
T t
he 5300 series’ two-wire technology enables fast and inexpensive installation. With user-friendly graphical interfaces and wizards, measure-and-learn functionality, suggestions for application-specific configuration and PlantWeb digital architecture functionality, the
transmitter integrates easily into new or existing control systems. This, in addition to maintenance-free operation and advanced diagnostics, results in a quicker return on investment with overall improved uptime and enhanced safety.
VEGA Grieshaber continues its efforts in the same market with an order encompassing the complete level, switching and pressure instrumentation for Germany’s largest paper mill. Production start-up in the new paper mill is planned for March 2010.
The order includes, among other things, VEGABAR pressure transmitters with ceramic CERTEC measuring cell, various types of VEGAPULS radar sensors as well as VEGACAP and VEGASWING level switches. The instruments will be used in all areas of the new plant – from stock preparation to paper machine. The new paper machine has a working breadth of 10.1 m and an operating speed of 1900 metres/minute. Every year, 650 000 tons of test liner and corrugated medium are to be produced from 100 per cent recycled fibres in weights from 70-130 g/m2.
In another new move, BASF and VEGA Grieshaber have extended the existing framework contract. The contract covers the worldwide delivery of level and switching instrumentation from VEGA for the manufacturing locations of the BASF Group. According to VEGA, this contract underscores and deepens the trust as well as the successful cooperation between the two companies. m
ACHEMASIA 2010 : proCESS EngInEErIng CoMMunIty MEEtS
he eighth achemasia 2010 will take place from 1st-4th June
2010 in Beijing, china. as the most international event of its kind in asia, the exhibition congress offers the global process industry a chance to forge new contacts and present their cutting-edge developments to the ever-expanding asian markets. the target groups are all sectors
that offer or apply equipment, technologies, solutions and know-how for the chemical industry, the pharmaceutical and food industries, biotechnology, the environmental protection sector and related branches of the process industries. the new location in the
china national convention center has excellent transport links and state-of-the-art exhibition facilities. new, simplified
rates enable exhibitors to tailor their presentations to suit their budget. several countries support participation in achemasia by organizing, for example, joint stands. representative offices in Beijing, china and seoul, south Korea act as regional centres for asian exhibitors and visitors. Both the congress and the exhibition pick up on quintessential trends: sustainable Production, the Process industries’ contribution to secure energy Demand, advanced materials, industrial Water treatment, Biotechnology, innovative Products and services, and laboratory automation are among the central themes of
the congress.
the exhibitors present practical solutions to these themes in 13
