WHITE PAPERS AND CASE STUDIES

• Reliable Sugar Manufacturing Processes Through Precise Instruments

  In production, Schweizer Zucker processes 10,000 tons of sugar beets per day requiring thousands of measurements and process controls. Robust instruments keep the processes running efficiently.

• Aerzen Flare Gas Case Study

  Flaring gas is the process of burning off unwanted gas from hydrocarbon processing plants, refineries, and gas wells. It is recognized as a major environmental problem by the EPA and the IPCC. Approximately 150 billion m3 of waste gas is flared globally, which contributes to contaminating the environment by 400 Mt CO2 per year. Flare gas is identified as any gases that are burned off into the atmosphere. By 2018, in the USA, the EPA has mandated that all 142 refineries nationwide will need to comply with reducing toxic air pollutants to 5,200 tons per year and 50,000 tons per year of volatile organic compounds. This will result in a reduction in greenhouse gases equivalent to more than 660,000 tons per year of carbon dioxide.

• Pump Health Monitoring

  In process industries such as oil and gas, pharmaceutical and chemical, it is essential to maintain and prolong the lifetime of critical assets including pumps, valves, heat exchangers and compressors. Process companies need better insight into the condition of pumps and other assets. The goal is to gain a clearer understanding of when pumps are not operating efficiently–and the root cause of the degraded performance–instead of waiting until there is a catastrophic failure. Optimizing asset maintenance saves time and money.

• Clinical Supply Optimization: Enhanced Service Model Saves Client Time On Supplies

  The Vice President of manufacturing for a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company faced an avalanche of work when a reorganization left him without a clinical supply manager. Planning to start 5 new clinical trials in 6 months while managing quality assurance, manufacturing, and supplies for new and ongoing studies, he turned to his Fisher Clinical Services account executive with a simple question: “How am I going to do all that?”

• How Mendocino WTP Solved Its Wipe Issue

  Meet the Mendocino WTP and discover how Screentec, the Pump Station Bar Screen, has improved their process. Wipes issues permanently solved, no more manual cleaning, and less than 1K$ in spare parts for 10 year. Read the case story to learn more.

• Metal Detection System Helps Nuts ‘N More Deliver Contaminant-Free High Protein Spreads

  Nuts ‘N More has taken the initiative to install high level operational procedures and technologically innovative equipment specifically to comply with rigid food safety guidelines. An important part of the company’s quality push is the use of an Eriez Xtreme® Metal Detector Conveyor System, which inspects every jar produced at Nuts ‘N More for metal contamination.

• Heat Exchanger Monitoring And End-Of-Cycle Prediction

  Predicting end-of-cycle (EOC) for a heat exchanger due to fouling is a constant challenge faced by refineries. Proactively predicting when a heat exchanger needs to be cleaned enables risk-based maintenance planning and optimization of processing rates, operating costs, and maintenance costs. Read more to learn how utilitzing the Seeq Formula Tool to monitor heat exchanger performance in the place of time-consuming spreadsheets will eliminate weeks of work for engineers, freeing them up to perform other valuable company tasks.

• Inline Weighing Technology Offers Additional Quality Check Features

  Protina Pharmazeutische GmbH produces high-quality preparations, such as medicine, food supplements and cosmetics. Alongside weight monitoring, the checkweigher used at Protina offers other important functions that support the company's system of strict quality management.

• Deschutes: Better Data For Better Beer

  Deschutes Brewery, the seventh largest craft brewery in the United States, had a problem. During the cooling phase of the brewing process, temperatures were spiking in a new class of fermenters, an anomaly that could potentially reduce capacity potential and affect the quality and flavor of their beers. Luckily, Deschutes had a secret weapon: the PI System.

• Calibration Management Increases Plant Availability

  Thanks to the set-up of a result-based calibration contract with Endress+Hauser and to the simplification of the operation, this major biotechnology plant has significantly reduced overall effort and calibration costs. The calibration time has also decreased, with positive impact on the plant process’s availability rate.

• Screenmaster® CS Bar Screen Helps Township Weather The Stormwater

  When the township of Little Ferry, New Jersey constructed a new bridge, it created a big problem. The bridge, constructed at a traffic circle in town, created changes to the road that left a drainage pond below the water level of the Hackensack River. The problematic effect this had was immediate as local neighborhoods were flooded on a regular basis.
