All the attendees had a wonderful knowledge gaining session and at the end of it also recommended some wireless applications they would be interested in deploying in their plant.

Some of the applications were:

Control Valve feedback, on off valve feedback,

Sox/Nox/CO analyser system

SWAS and DO analysers,

Temperature, pressure & flow measurement in sea water supply area, ATG wireless, temp measurement of LPG Flare, position indication in sea water filtration area, DGC/DFX of F&G sensors

ATG data monitoring, MOVs feedback/Alarms indication, Hand valves position monitoring, Gas detectors monitoring, skids/safety shower monitoring, manual call points monitoring

Finfan vibration, bypass valve position FIB, Steam trap, non critical pump applications

Heaters O2/CO analysers, column bottom pumps, MCMs, online pH meter in finfan receiver water monitoring pH

Open loop non critical applications

RTF/MTF Area

Pressure, temp, flow, level, SWAS panel etc for non critical inputs

Tank farm area, Wireless limit switches for safety showers

Level, pressure, temperature, flow measurement, Tank gauging
