The 2024 Spring Meeting organized by the AIChE - American Institute of Chemical Engineers has been a great opportunity to share our experience in the Oil& Gas industry and some interesting case studies to demonstrate the benefits of Hexxcell’s digital platform. In the first case study, titled “Condenser Design Performance Evaluation Under Dynamic Fouling Conditions with Hybrid-AI Digital Twins” José Loyola Fuentes showed how our technology can effortlessly evaluate the impact of different design options on a C3 condenser performance, simulating various scenarios. Traditional approaches in sizing and rating heat exchangers do not consider dynamic fouling and, as a result engineers are required to evaluate numerous scenarios in a very time-consuming manner. Hexxcell’s hybrid digital twin technology enables obtaining a mapping of multiple states in heat exchangers with a single, making the evaluation process effortless. Our hybrid-Al digital twins integrate AI with rigorous physics-based models to predict fouling, improve performance, and optimize maintenance of refinery condensers: https://lnkd.in/d_pMtWkB #GCPS #HeatExchangers #HeatTransfer #ChemicalEngineers #ProcessSafety

"Oil rigs, chemical plants and refineries are some of the most dangerous working environments in the world. Most electrical equipment isn’t safe for use in these areas as a single spark or hot surface could cause an explosion and significant injuries. So, what ensures the safe operation of electrical equipment in those volatile zones? The answer is equipment designed around the principles of ‘Intrinsic Safety'. In this article of Engineer Live, Rama Oruganti, Chief Product Officer at RealWear, looks at the design process behind intrinsically safe wearables for the Oil & Gas industry": #oilandgasindustry #oilandgas #safety #safetyatwork #refinery #chemicalplant #futureofwork #technology #latesttechnology #tech #rugged Repost from NSPR https://lnkd.in/e7amFzTk

🔬 Understanding the Nuances: Co-60 vs. Cs-137 in Radiometric Instrumentation for Process Monitoring Radiometric instrumentation plays a pivotal role in process monitoring across various industrial sectors, offering precise measurements and real-time data for enhanced operational efficiency. Among the commonly used radioactive isotopes in these instruments, Cobalt-60 (Co-60) and Cesium-137 (Cs-137) stand out for their unique characteristics and applications. 🌟 Co-60: Powerhouse of Gamma Radiation Co-60, a synthetic isotope with a half-life of 5.27 years, emits high-energy gamma radiation. Its robust energy spectrum makes it ideal for applications requiring deep penetration, such as density and level measurements in thick-walled vessels or pipelines. Moreover, Co-60's stable output ensures consistent and reliable readings over extended periods, making it a preferred choice for continuous process monitoring in harsh environments. 💡 Cs-137: Versatile and Precise On the other hand, Cs-137, with a half-life of 30.17 years, emits gamma radiation suitable for a wide range of applications. Its moderate energy spectrum enables precise measurements in thinner materials, making it well-suited for tasks like thickness gauging and density profiling in lighter structures. Additionally, Cs-137's longer half-life translates to lower operational costs and reduced maintenance requirements, offering a cost-effective solution for long-term process monitoring needs. 🔄 Choosing the Right Isotope: Factors to Consider When selecting between Co-60 and Cs-137 for radiometric instrumentation, several factors come into play. Material thickness, required penetration depth, and regulatory considerations all influence the decision-making process. While Co-60 excels in applications demanding high penetration and stability, Cs-137 offers versatility and cost-effectiveness for a broader range of monitoring tasks. 🤝 Unlocking Potential Through Collaboration In the dynamic landscape of process monitoring, understanding the nuances between Co-60 and Cs-137 empowers industries to make informed decisions tailored to their specific requirements. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, we can leverage the strengths of each isotope to drive innovation and optimize processes for greater efficiency and reliability. 💬 Join the Conversation I invite fellow professionals and industry experts to share their insights and experiences with Co-60 and Cs-137 in radiometric instrumentation applications.
