Yokogawa Debunks

 For part 2 on our CEMS episodes, Mike Wallis debunks more myths with Sean. Is a laboratory analyzer on par with their process counteparts? Who should design a CEMS? What type of field services are necessary to keep a CEMS in tip-top shape? Download and Listen to find out. 

 In this episode, Sean invited Yokogawa's Process Analyzers expert Mike Wallis to debunk several misconceptions about Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS). Is it true that CEMS are high-maintenance? Are these standard systems which require no engineering?  Is it mandatory to implement Data Acquisition Systems alongside these analyzers?

In this episode, Sean and Nick wrap up the conversation around calibrating or validating analyser measurements.  Are buffer solutions safe to use by plant technicians? Is it true that calibration solutions for turbidity  sensors are carcinogenic? what is the difference between primary and secondary standards? Download and listen to find out.

Continuing on the topic of trusting your measurements, we brought back our Product Manager for Analytical Products, Nick Crowe, to discuss whether to calibrate or validate your analyzers. In this episode, Nick demystifies the differences between both options, and  uncovers the truth about performing either. Download and Listen!

In part 2 of this flowmeters series, Simon comes back to Debunk a few more myths. Is a calibration the only method to regain trust in a flow measurement? how health checks work? Is verification the same as calibration. Download and listen to find out more. 

To effectively control and optimize industrial processes, trusting measurements from flowmeters is vital. In today's episode, Sean addresses the topic with Simon Lillie, Yokogawa's expert in flowmeters.

In part 2 of the Distributed Temperature Sensing Series, Gavin comes back to Debunk more misconceptions about DTSX.  Why should one select this product for a project? How are these units maintained?  and a particular application for leak detection is also debunked by Gavin and Sean. 

We invited Yokogawa's Gavin French, Queensland Sales Manager and Product Manager for DTSX. In this episode we discuss Distributed Temperature Sensing. Sean asked Gavin to address misconceptions on how DTSX works and how it is sold in Australia and New Zealand

The conversation with Stephan Nel continues in this episode.  Nuclear Instruments from Real-Time Instruments are available in two configurations and contain different isotopes according to the application.  Stephan addresses the myth on how they operate and what happens to spent isotopes once they reach their half-life. 

Season 2 of Yokogawa Debunks kicks off with Sean discussing a unique yet misunderstood technology, online elemental analysis with nuclear instruments. In this episode, our guest Stephan Nel from RTi Australia clarifies the common misconceptions about nuclear instruments and shares fascinating insights around safety and the principle of operation of online elemental analysers.  

Sean continues the conversation with Tony about pressure transmitters. Does accuracy really matter to end users these days? with IOT developments, is it true that miniaturization is on the cards? Listen to this episode to find out 

In Episode 9, Sean talks to Tony Farah, Product Manager for Transmitters and Level at Yokogawa Australia and New Zealand.  Is it true that 4-20 mA HART will be phased out in the near future? Is a transducer equal to a transmitter? Tune in to hear the debunking of these myths.

Sean continues the conversation with Nick Crowe about the misconceptions we hear regarding liquid analyzers. Are analyzers and sensors warranted? Is it easier to just replace than maintain sensors?  Is it necessary to calibrate a rebuilt unit? 

We invited Nick Crowe, our Product Manager for Analytical Products, to debunk myths around Liquid Analysers. In part 1 of this series Sean asked him  whether the maintenance-free analyzer is a myth?

In the third and last episode of the Wireless Series, Simon addresses  concerns around industrial wireless solutions: security, interference, reliability and interoperability.

In part 2 of this Wireless series, Simon debunks the myths relating to employing industrial wireless instrumentation. Sean asks him questions on battery life, update rates, network design, and scalability of wireless solutions. 

This time around, Nelson Isea discusses the many misconceptions around Gas Chromatographs. Technicians see this machine as Black Magic, too complex to understand, and believe a Chemistry degree is necessary to service them. Tune in to find out more about this insightful chat.

Wireless instrumentation represent solutions for many of the issues that process plants face today. In this episode, Sean interviews Simon Lillie. They discuss myths around the history of ISA100.11a and some of the interesting challenges wireless instrumentation can solve.

Sean continues the conversation with Nelson Isea. In this episode, the topic is commonly used detectors in Gas Chromatographs. Is it true that one detector type, the thermal conductivity detector, is applicable to most applications? Why is it not used for extremely low concentrations of hydrocarbons? Listen now to debunk these myths.

In our first episode, Tom Hardy debunks common false statements regarding Cybersecurity Does insurance liability protect businesses against cyberattacks? Is my organization too small to be a target? Tune in to find out.
