Meter keeps running during two-phase flow
The new Foxboro CFT50 Coriolis mass flow transmitter features patented technology that allows Foxboro mass flow meters to continue operating during two-phase flow.
A number of these plants run Siemens Teleperm ME DCS technology but, as the visualisation layer for this system has become obsolete, plant reliability is being affected.
As a result, the company was looking for a supplier to provide a DCS with open communication standards that could both connect with control systems from multiple vendors and offer the lowest life cycle costs.
An added challenge was that the new system had to be installed without causing any downtime at the Moerdijk plant.
The Invensys solution is an open standard OPC interface that connects the existing Siemens control layer to a Foxboro human interface that replaces the problematic visualisation layer with modern I/A Series system technology.
This solution can be implemented without any plant downtime.
Invensys Process Systems won a separate ten-year service contract that also includes life cycle management activities at Moerdijk.
