Cost Reduction in Power Plants Due to Online Corrosion Monitoring
CorrTran™ MV
CorrTran™ MV from Pepperl+Fuchs is an innovative 2-wire, 4…20 mA transmitter with integrated HART protocol and built-in functionality. CorrTran™ MV puts plant operators into the position to react to corrosion before it leads to far-reaching consequences …
CorrTran™ is the first 2-wire, multivariable, 4…20 mA HART transmitter that evaluates general and localized (pitting) corrosion as well as conductivity in real-time. Meant to take corrosion monitoring out of the laboratory and into everyday process control, CorrTran™ is a revolutionary approach to corrosion detection.
Unlike the traditional coupon method that establishes a historical average corrosion rate over time, CorrTran™ can monitor corrosion online and in real-time rather than in a historical "after-the-fact" method that misses the possibility of a process-corrosion correlation. CorrTran™ gives plant operators the ability to monitor corrosion rates within their existing software and control system like any other process variable (i.e., pressure, flow, level, temperature, pH). Since CorrTran™ has a standard 4…20 mA output, it can be easily integrated into a new or legacy system architecture. The HART signal allows multivariable monitoring of general corrosion, localized corrosion, and conductivity measurements.
As an added feature, the new CorrTran™ is capable of self-tuning according to changing conditions in the process. With a wide range of mechanical configurations available for standard and hazardous locations, CorrTran™ takes corrosion monitoring to a new level – one that makes corrosion data readily available to the process engineer so decisions can be made in real-time and according to current process conditions. An article, published in the P&A Magazine – the magazine for process technology and automation – discusses cost reduction due to online corrosion monitoring, using the example of power plants and closed-circuit cooling systems.
