This product contributes to efficient operation and maintenance of the plant by detecting and making “cavitation” visible which is one of “production obstacles” that hinders plant operation from the information of the field device. This product uses the pressure information of the field device, so cavitation can be detected earlier.
Existing cavitation detection systems monitor the pump and piping for abnormal sounds and vibration. By the time they report a problem, cavitation could be well underway. However, the Yokogawa system can accurately detect cavitation much earlier by directly measuring the weak pressure fluctuation as a bubble collapses within the transmitter.
Yokogawa’s Cavitation Detection System is winner of Hydrocarbon Processing Awards 2019 for ‘Best Fluid Flow Technology’.
