Continuous monitoring January 1st 2009 Emerson Process
Management's Smart Wireless
technology is reported to
be 'cost-effective and reliable'
in providing continuous
performance data on critical
boiler feed pumps at PPL
Generation's Montour power
station, as well as feedwater
and air heaters at its Brunner
Island Unit 1 power plant, in
Pennsylvania.
Emerson's Smart Wireless
technology was chosen
following an on-site
demonstration that proved its
ability to transmit reliably,
despite the dense
infrastructure of the power
plant. Rosemount wireless
transmitters were installed at
the Montour plant to monitor
suction pressure and DP
across the suction screen, as
well as other points that
provide a valuable insight to
the overall condition of the
feed water pumps. More articles from Emerson Process Management: |
