Flow Measurement Specialist or Technician

1 TIA-01 Flow Technology Seminars – Course 1 Flow Basics
Greg Livelli, ABB
If you would like to increase your knowledge of flow intricacies, this workshop is for you. The content is geared to participants
that have little or no experience, and will cover several basic concepts. These include an explanation of the terminology and
jargon commonly used; the meaning of Reynolds numbers; what flow profiles are and how to use them; the causes and effects of
flow disturbances; and details on the types and uses of flowmeters.
2 TIA-02 Flow Technology Seminars – Course 2 Flowmeter Installation
Greg Livelli, ABB
If you're experienced in installing flowmeters and would like to know how to optimize their performance and reliability, this course
is for you. We will cover disturbance effects as well as earthing, a constant source of problems, in this session. All flowmeters are
affected to a greater or lesser degree by the way they are installed. To obtain the best possible performance, users must select
their flowmeter with care, bearing in mind many factors such as the type of fluid they need to measure and the installed location.
3 TIA-03 Flow Technology Seminars – Course 3 Flow Profiling Theory and Practice
Greg Livelli, ABB
At this seminar, you will have the opportunity to become competent in the flow-profiling field. Pipe flow-profiling is a fundamental
technique that enables the skilled user to accurately measure exactly what is happening inside the pipe and make any correction
necessary to a given measuring point. It allows the effects of any disturbance or combination of disturbances to be determined
and is an invaluable tool in the calibration verification field. However, it is not as simple as it appears and, in untrained hands can
give seriously misleading information, which requires expert help to unravel.
4 TIA-04 Flow Technology Seminars – Course 4 Flowmeter Verification Techniques
Greg Livelli, ABB
This course will teach you the time-honored methods of checking meters both in situ and when removed from site. It also
explains in detail the new electronic methods that are currently changing the approach to flow meter verification. In these days of
increasing costs and regulations, long-term flowmeter performance is increasingly important. When flowmeters are new they are
usually delivered with a wet-calibration certificate that guarantees their performance. But after one or two years, how do you
know whether the meters are still performing correctly; has the calibration shifted? This course will help you to find the answers.
5 TIA-05 Flow Technology Seminars – Course 5 Flowmeter Selection
Greg Livelli, ABB
The objective of this course is to unravel some of the mysteries of flowmeters. It will teach you how different flowmeters work,
and when and when not to use them. While there are many different methods of measuring fluid flow, which is useful, it can also
be very confusing to users.
6 CIA-02 Flow Measurement in RO Application Port St. Lucie, FL
Daryl Kelly, Port St. Lucie Utilities Sys. Dept.
This case study will illustrate how the city of Port St. Lucie, Florida, improved operations with ABB flowmeter technology.
Magnetic Flowmeters are used to measure raw water into the plant, feed water to the RO skids, as well as for chemicals used for
disinfection. Because the conductivity of RO is not in the typical conductivity range of a magnetic flowmeter, and noise is
prevalent in the flow, this wreaks havoc on providing flow control for pacing chemical feeds. The city installed an ABB AC excited
electromagnetic flowmeter (FSM 4000) that enabled flow measurement with minimal dampening and a noise free output. The
improved excitation process of the FSM 4000 and advanced digital signal processing resulted in tighter process control, faster
response, greater profits, and a direct cost savings. In addition, the lower dampening values allowed tighter control of the
chemical feeds, resulting in improved water quality and more economic system operation.
7 WIA-05 FXE4000 Magnetic Flowmeter in Food and Beverage Applications

examples, as well as details on the benefits of the improved diagnostic capabilities will be offered.
8 CIA-01 Case Study: CalMaster at City of Mesa
Jim McCarter, City of Mesa, Utilities Systems Dept.
This presentation features a project by the City of Mesa Water Division. With the ultimate goal of increasing metering accuracy
and reliability, the division recently replaced 12 inch water meters at 36 well sites. Routine verification of flowmeter calibration
and the traceability is required by the city’s auditors and regulatory agencies, as well as our own operating procedures.
Historically, this had proved difficult, time consuming and costly as the mechanical excavation of the flowmeter resulted in
disruption of the water supply. To help verify the accuracy of the magmeters, the Water Division purchased a CalMaster
calibration verification tool, which met our demands for in-situ calibration verification and certification. With increased emphasis
on water usage and metering accuracy, and where millions of dollars are involved in water sales, this new in-house verification
capability provided an excellent return on investment.

they are best suited for use. Real life examples will be used to illustrate selection, with a focus on wet gas applications. ABB
companies have extensively been providing flow measurement solutions to the Oil and Gas industry for over 30 years. The
technology may be mature, but it is a well-trusted principle of flow measurement that continues to provide accurate results to the
industry.
10 CIA-04 XTO Energy - Flow Measurement of Groundwater
David Gentry, XTO Energy
Mark Souter, ABB
This case study will show you how natural gas producer XTO Energy is employing ABB's magnetic flowmeter solutions to
increase efficiency and reduce costs. XTO Energy operates a significant volume of coal bed methane gas (CBM) and
conventional gas, and is undergoing additional volume growth in these sources. Depending on the field location, we are allowed
to discharge well water in an above ground basin, or are required to pump it back into the ground. However, the discharged water
must be data logged to meet Federal and State EPA requirements. Most of the gas producers use inexpensive turbine meters for
such data logging, however, ongoing maintenance and replacement make turbine meters a costly choice. Furthermore, these
measurements have some air entrapped in the flow stream, which adds a significant amount of noise in the flow signal and
causes unnecessary wear to the meter. XTO is replacing these meters with a cost-effective magnetic flowmeter solution from
ABB. The ABB solution is low voltage and interfaces industry-specific flow computers.

Ted Matsko, ABB
Pekka Immonen, ABB
This case study will teach you about the benefits that can be achieved using multivariable control. While multivariable control is
just emerging in pulp and paper manufacturing, it is well accepted in the chemical industry, where a 50% reduction in standard
deviation is typical. In order to improve operational stability and flexibility, while reducing cost of purchased power, a new
application was installed for control and coordination of a pulverized coal boiler and a condensing turbine. This application takes
a new approach by using multivariable control, which includes steam temperature, spray flow, fuel demand, main header
pressure, turbine throttle valve, and MW tie-line constraints in the problem formulation. While it looked similar to a utility power
plant configuration, this power plant was more challenging because the main header also hosted a recovery boiler and a
backpressure turbine for process steam demand. Upon completion, the results of this application exceeded previously accepted
standards.

systems, the backbone of asset management, not only handle data presentation, archiving, and retrieval but, as part of an asset
management strategy, they must also offer asset monitors. Through condition monitoring, asset monitors provide a precise plant
state assessment that allows operators to maximize availability, operate closer to plant design limits, and dynamically link
operations to maintenance management, purchasing and inventory control. Monitored assets include boilers, rotating machinery,
electrical equipment, automation systems, and field devices.
14 WPP-02 Cogeneration Optimization with Model Predictive Control
Pekka Immonen, ABB
Ted Matsko, ABB

cogeneration facility with multiple boilers, turbines and headers is a complex process to operate, especially when process steam
demand can vary quickly. Add to that the current economic situation with spot market prices for fuel gas and electricity always
fluctuating, and it is clear that better control strategies and on-line decision support tools can have a good pay out. A two layered
approach is taken at this plant, with the upper decision support layer implemented using a linear program with mixed integer
capability for optimization and a state-space, model predictive controller to execute the optimizer’s plan and coordinate pressure
and megawatts at the control layer. This project included an upgrade to the OCS consoles and the ABB turbine control system,
providing an overall modernization of the powerhouse controls.

12 CSE-01 Cement Plant Optimization Services – ABB Helps Solve Raw Mill Quality Problems
Dr. Eduardo Gallestey, ABB
For this case study, you will learn about a cutting edge control technology, Model Predictive Control, which was used to address
quality issues. An Italian cement manufacturer was experiencing problems with the quality parameters of it raw mix. Problems at
the clay reclaimer, long material transport times and variability of the raw materials (limestone, etc.) made it almost impossible for
this manufacturer to reach the specification regarding standard deviations of the key performance indicators. For the solution, a
mathematical model of the process was created, and a controller based on it was deployed. The results were impressive -- the
standard deviation was reduced by as much as 35% and the customer is using the ABB solution at several other cement plants.
The system, called Raw Mix Preparation, can be used for preblending bed control and/or feeder proportioning. On-line analyzers
or traditional sampled X-ray analyzers can be used.

demand can vary quickly. Add to that the current economic situation with spot market prices for fuel gas and electricity always
fluctuating, and it is clear that better control strategies and on-line decision support tools can have a good pay out. A two layered
approach is taken at this plant, with the upper decision support layer implemented using a linear program with mixed integer
capability for optimization and a state-space, model predictive controller to execute the optimizer’s plan and coordinate pressure
and megawatts at the control layer. This project included an upgrade to the OCS consoles and the ABB turbine control system,

improved productivity, and increased natural gas production; these are the fundamental reasons for continued growth in the use
of remote wellhead measurement and automation systems. These areas of endeavor represent key business drivers that,
depending on successful oversight, can separate stronger companies from weaker ones. At the same time, the decline rate of
wells is increasing and in order to extend their life, automation is considered. Many new gas wells produce in the presence of
associated liquids, requiring artificial lift methods from the start of production. From the producer’s perspective, there are
numerous operational and economic bottom-line advantages associated with deploying advanced measurement and automation
technologies, including lower operating costs, increased manpower productivity, increased production, improved custody transfer
accuracy and integrity, reduced equipment downtime and reduced well downtime.

approach combines the motion control of a robot and the process control of a CNC. Oil well rock bits have a very short operating
life, typically lasting less than 200 hours. Replacing the rock bit once it is dull or damaged requires many hours of expensive drill
rig time to accomplish. Bits wear in two areas; metal on metal wear in the bearings and wear on the parts directly in contact with
rock. Welded coatings extend the life of both these structures. The welded coatings are composed of exotic materials such as
cobalt and nickel silicon boron, which are best welded using plasma transferred arc welding.

11 CIA-03 Improved Technology Reduces Noise in Flow Measurement Application at Engelhard Corporation
Dave Parker, Engelhard
This case study demonstrates how Englehard significantly improved reliability by installing ABB FSM 4000 magnetic flowmeters.
Engelhard was having difficulty with the amount of noise generated in the flow signal from our slurry measurement, as part of the
specific catalyst manufacturing process. Engelhard holds some of the most aggressive and challenging applications for
electromagnetic flowmeter measurement, where changing operating conditions and tighter process control are pushing the
boundaries of electromagnetic flowmeters. We had typically used a conventional DC magnetic flowmeter, but the noisy signal
required longer dampening times which resulted in slower response times and inefficient processes. With ABB flowmeters, the
improved excitation process and advanced digital signal processing resulted in tighter process control, faster response, greater
profit, and a direct cost savings.

to the ABB call center via wireless cellular technology. By enabling ABB robots to "call out" when they have a problem, ABB
service technicians are not only alerted to a specific robot's condition, but also have the visibility of the log and configuration files
to swiftly and effectively get the robot running at optimal performance. This initiative translates to less downtime for ABB robot
customers and increased efficiency for the service organization, and serves as a platform to offer the type of service that you
have come to expect.
4 CRO-02 Robotic Solutions Reduces Worker Ergonomic Issues in Palletizing Batteries
Bob Miller, BMH Corp.
By attending this presentation, you will learn how Bastian Robotics designed and built a system around an ABB IRB 6600 robot
that frees operators from the dirty, difficult and even dangerous task of palletizing auto and marine batteries. With the rising cost
of health care and increasing concern for worker ergonomics, it’s no surprise that robot palletizing is exploding in the industrial
marketplace. Manufacturers are even pursuing applications that might have seemed a little too difficult even a few years ago. A
battery plant provides an excellent incentive to take on these types of challenges.
5 CRO-01 Hardfacing Oil Tools with Robotic Welding Equipment and CNC Technology
Daniel Allford, Arc Specialities
In this session, you will learn about an innovative use of ABB robot technology. Powder fed plasma welding is not typically a
robotic application, however, an ABB robot was perfect for part manipulation under a CNC plasma welding system. This
approach combines the motion control of a robot and the process control of a CNC. Oil well rock bits have a very short operating
life, typically lasting less than 200 hours. Replacing the rock bit once it is dull or damaged requires many hours of expensive drill
rig time to accomplish. Bits wear in two areas; metal on metal wear in the bearings and wear on the parts directly in contact with
rock. Welded coatings extend the life of both these structures. The welded coatings are composed of exotic materials such as
cobalt and nickel silicon boron, which are best welded using plasma transferred arc welding.
6 TRO-01 The Benefits of Industrial Robots – A Basic Primer on Robotic Applications
Fred Weissbach, ABB
This presentation will provide you the basics of robotic applications, and how to apply them to gain the competitive edge in your
manufacturing. Industrial robots have only recently realized the great expectations that were forecasted for the industry 20 years
ago. They will continue to benefit industry in the future by improving productivity and flexibility, product quality, worker
environments, and ergonomics. Also, new technical and economic developments will continue to enable industrial robots to be

reliable, operator-free solution for plywood de-palletizing and conveyance. ABB will describe the success of providing this robotic
solution as well as to other areas of plywood making and processing (e.g., skateboard lines).
9 WRO-08 Successful Robot Applications in Plastics & PlasticWare
Doug Niebruegge, ABB
This presentation will show you the advantages of using a 6 axis robot for injection molding and how RobotWare-Plastics Mold
makes programming and operation as easy as surfing the web. Traditionally, North American molders have selected a simple
linear design, often called a cartesian robot. While many of these robots use a simple programming interface, many molders are
finding cartesian robots have too limited functionality to perform secondary operations. ABB is the first to offer a 6 axis robot line
with an easy to use programmer/operator interface designed for the needs of injection molders.

1 WIA-15 Process FTIR for Refinery Optimization
TBD, ABB
Process analytical FTIR applications in refineries cover a wide range of different processes, including distillation units,
conversion units and final product blend optimization. However, the availability of high production margins for final product
have re-emphasized the role of process FTIR in high value final product optimization applications, gasoline and gas oil product
blending, crude oil distillation and in petrochemical plants for naphtha steam cracking. The advantages offered by process FTIR
include multi-property, multi-stream analyses; analysis repeatability normally significantly better than conventional online
analyzers; and accuracy in keeping with ASTM norms. Added to this, process FTIR analyzers are able to model not only direct
chemical compositional information, but also bulk process stream properties such as octane, distillation curves, kinematic
viscosity, cetane, cloud point etc., which are often the properties most required by unit optimizers, or most constraining in terms
of product release. This presentation will review several FTIR applications in refinery processes and describe how analyzer
performance impacts plant optimization and profitability.
5 WIA-16 Current Trends and Direction in Process Gas Chromatography and Process Photometry
TBD, ABB
Integrate your process control with investments in Process Gas Chromatography and Process Photometers. A review of the
current offerings in for Process Gas Chromatography and Process Photometry. Updates to the product lines, new applications

10 WSY-15 Practical Strategy for Implementation of IEC61511
Ged Farnaby, ABB
This session will present owner-specific issues and discuss the assessment of existing systems, interpreting how the standard
applies to you and the possible impact on your facility. Regulators (OSHA) increasingly challenge plant owners regarding safety
standards for existing safety instrumented systems. Questions such as "does the system deliver sufficient integrity and
appropriate functions?" and "how has the reliability and test interval of the system been specified, and whether planned lifecycle
activities are appropriate and or adequate?" will need to be answered.
13 WIA-17 NOx Analysis: Simultaneous and Separate Measurement of Both NO and NO2 with NDUV for CEMS
Bruce Herman, ABB
This presentation will discuss the use a single photometric analyzer for simultaneous measurements of Nitric Oxide (NO) and
Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2). A unique application of a Non Dispersive Ultraviolet (NDUV) energy source allows for a resonant
absorption at the wavelengths of interest for the NO molecule, which results in a highly sensitive response and good rejection of
interference effects. Operating at an elevated temperature the analyzer is suitable for sample conditioning techniques which do
not require moisture removal and provide for a higher level of stability and reliability.
