How chemical companies can save money by switching to a wireless rupture disc system

This article reveals how a UK chemical company has achieved significant cost saving and improved site safety by moving its rupture disc monitoring wireless.

Elfab, a bursting disc manufacturer, are becoming the first company of its kind to offer a WirelessHART™ burst detection system. This system will significantly enhance their product range and further meet the needs of their customers. Due to their existing range of products and technologies, Elfab are considered to be leaders in their industry of pressure management innovation. With some of the most technically superior bursting disc solutions on the market, Elfab meet the needs of a range of manufacturers. Since the launch of the wireless burst detection system, Elfab has changed the way in which its customers consider rupture disc monitoring.

By upgrading rupture discs from monitoring to wireless, manufacturers have access to a cost-effective solution to new and existing sites. This is unlike traditional burst detection solutions which are known to involve high initial investment combined with ongoing maintenance costs that are hard to avoid, Thomas Swan, based in the UK, is a major independent manufacturer of performance and speciality chemicals and have recently benefited from incorporating this wireless solution for all Elfab rupture disc devices. Speaking about their experience, Maintenance Manager, John Smithson said, "Being able to integrate rupture disc monitoring into our existing wireless network has offered significant benefits to our plant. The setup and installation process was seamless and I have been impressed by all aspects of the product and its ongoing reliability – the design and the wireless technology offered by Elfab is excellent".

When customers make the switch from monitoring to wireless, it allows them to benefit from the most advanced, cost-effective solution for pressure relief management. By using Elfab’s wireless technology, customers can expect to eliminate the costs and complexity of additional wiring by saving an estimated 50% of the cost and 90% of the time required to install a conventional wired system. Working closely with process management company, Emerson, it has enabled smooth integration of its wireless burst detection into existing site infrastructure.
