Emerson boosts production in Argentina

January 2011 News

Emerson Process Management’s Smart Wireless technology, based on the IEC 62591 (WirelessHART) standard, is enabling Tecpetrol to boost production while reducing maintenance and operations costs at natural gas compression and delivery facilities in Argentina.

The company installed Emerson’s Rosemount wireless pressure, DP, and temperature transmitters at wellheads in its Campo Duran field. Smart Wireless Gateways collect the real-time data and deliver it to the company’s DeltaV digital automation system. A Daniel ultrasonic flow­meter installed for custody transfer measurements also allows Tecpetrol to cross-check the wireless data for quality control, while a flow computer ­monitors remote points of the architecture.
