Linde Gas Produktionsgesellschaft mbH & Co.KG

Linde Gas Produktionsgesellschaft mbH & Co.KG in Herne has an air-separation plant
The company planned the modernization of its production equipment, technicians chose Siemens SITRANS P320 pressure trasnmitters
Exact pressure measurements are critical to the entire separation process-two vessels, called columns, create a pressure difference that causes the nitrogen to separate from the oxygen
High reliability and high accuracy topped the list–in this busy plant, operators can’t be tending to troublesome instruments all day. Therefore Linde was searching for a complete solution from a single partner

The result was 148 SITRANS P320 pressure and differential pressure transmitters, all of which were integrated into the existing SIMATIC PCS 7 system via 4-20 mA HART communications
Technicians installed and commissioned the transmitters during the busy plant’s downtime
The only difficulty was to perform the installation during the downtime exactly

“The installation and implementation of the SITRANS P320 transmitters was without any difficulty and they are all working absolutely perfectly,”

Patrick Weinhold, MSR - Technician, Linde Gas GmbH&Co. KG, Herne

SITRANS P320 is the first pressure transmitter on the market to feature remote safety handling. Saving time during commissioning, operators can program transmit-ters from the control room rather than manually attending to each individual device across a facility.
