A chemical company has achieved significant cost savings by switching to a wireless rupture disc monitoring system, according to rupture disc manufacturer Elfab.
Consett-based chemical firm Thomas Swan recently incorporated the Wirelesshart burst detection system in its Elfab devices.
“Being able to integrate rupture disc monitoring into our existing wireless network has offered significant benefits to our plant,” said maintenance manager John Smithson.
“The set-up and installation process was seamless and I have been impressed by all aspects of the product and its ongoing reliability.”
Traditional burst detection solutions can involve a significant investment combined with ongoing maintenance cost, according to Elfab. The company claims customers can save around 50% of the cost and 90% of the time required to install a wired system by switching to wireless.
