Yokogawa provided a Dynamic Real-Time Optimizer (RT-OP) to optimize the operations of the hydrocracker unit at Aramco Riyadh Refinery.
By dynamically calculating optimal setpoints, the RT-OP optimizes operations beyond the APC system.

An in-situ TDLS8000 installed on a process leg or bypass stream provides a reliable and high-speed measurement that is representative of the process composition.

VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) are compounds that evaporate easily at room temperature. They generate photochemical oxidants and cause soil and water pollution.
 

Conductivity measurement can be used as a reliable indicator of the real-time brine concentration. Using an online process analyzer removes the need for timely grab sample analysis. 

APPFs consist of various software components in which an autonomous controller can perform control functions without writing custom code. A true turnkey solution.

Enhance the efficiency and safety of your vapor recovery systems and flare/vent headers with Yokogawa's cutting-edge Tunable Diode Laser Spectrometers – the TDLS8000 and TDLS8220. Elevate your oxygen measurement capabilities with our interference-free analyzers, providing direct measurements. Experience unparalleled reliability, ensuring minimal upkeep and secure operations without the need for system shutdowns.

Ideal for various tank and vessel level measurements, diaphragm seal systems with compensating capillaries set a new standard for high performance, safety, and reliability.

The Yokogawa DTSX1 Fiber Optic Heat Detector protects your equipment against abnormal heat events while being more affordable than other heat detection solutions.

Heat exchangers are devices that provide the flow of thermal energy between two or more fluids at different temperatures. Heat exchangers are used in a wide variety of applications. These include power production; process, chemical and food industries; electronics; environmental engineering; waste heat recovery; manufacturing industry; and air-conditioning, refrigeration, and space applications. Yokogawa offers a means to control heat exchanger leakage and prevent costly maintenance, repair and downtime with an easy-to-use, virtually maintenance-free condensate conductivity measurement method.

Ion Exchange is a method for the exchange of ions between two electrolytes or between an electrolyte solution and a complex molecule. In most cases the term is used to denote the processes of purification, separation, and decontamination of aqueous and other ion-containing solutions with solid polymeric or mineralic ion exchangers.

The U.S. refineries represent approximately 23 percent of the world's petroleum production, and the United States has the largest refining capacity in the world. Petroleum refining is an industry, which is undergoing intense amounts of scrutiny in the United States from regulatory agencies and environmental groups.

Yokogawa's Data Aquisition Temperature Uniformity Survey enable heat-treaters to produce accurate records of TUS, instrumentation and thermocouple calibration certificates.

The client wanted to monitor the temperature on a chimney. Exhaust air is exposed to the heat on the way traveling from the inlet to the outlet in the chimney. Then constituent of the air transform to harmless elements. It is important to keep the temperature in the chimney as designed.

Optimizing the maintenance cycle is not always straightforward. In some cases, cleaning once a week is sufficient and other processes may require every 8 hours.

Select the correct pH glass and reference type to improve your pH sensor lifetime and you can limit or even eliminate the effects of temperature and pressure on especially the reference sensor.

The lifetime of a pH sensor has a significant impact on the overall annual costs of a pH measuring loop. Optimizing four key factors will decrease these costs and optimize process control and overall plant efficiency.

Learning these four lessons will help you improve your engineering skills and most importantly extend the life of your pH sensors.

Yokogawa programs each oven to suit one or multiple process samples via its main components (sets of valves, columns, and detectors explicitly designed to the customer's application), and the combination of which is based on the chemical properties of all or some of the components in the specific gas mixture.

The GC8000 has an innovative predictive diagnostics; Virtual Tech, package built in to help keep the unit operating at peak performance. A number of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are monitored during every analysis to verify the analyzer is operating within proper tolerances. The data monitored includes: Chromatogram Shape, Peak Data, Valve Data, Detector Data, Oven Performance Data

The GC8000 has a built-in 12-inch color touch screen display that dramatically simplifies maintenance. At the touch of the screen, the technician can access all of the analytical parameters and measurement results; displayed in easy-to-understand graphical color screens.

The GC8000 is a process analyzer that uses gas chromatography to measure the composition of multiple components in a stream. Engineered with reliable electronics and intelligently designed columns and valves, the GC8000 improves ease of maintenance while reducing operating costs. Its intuitive touchscreen HMI with system diagnostics reduces operation and maintenance headaches, maximizing measurement accuracy, reliability, and uptime. More Information
