Refineries require that the water be removed from crude oil before it continues on to first stage processing. Many water and oil separators are remotely located and typically require an interface level transmitter to enable proper pump control to ensure that only crude oil is forwarded to downstream processing units. Often these level transmitters are HART capable.
In these instances, the HIM HART Interface Module can be utilized for separator on/off pump control. Additionally, the HIM allows additional analog signals to be transmitted from the HART signal which represents additional process variables, allowing the DCS to effectively monitor key parameters of the separator.
Key attributes:
- HIM provides local on/off control and integral indication
- Allows additional HART process variables to be transmitted to DCS or remote host
- Optional MODBUS RTU output
