cpp CONTENTS 02-2019 10 Cover Linde is building a medium-sized natural gas liquefaction plant near the Russian Baltic Sea town of Portovaya. Vegaflex 86 and Ve gaswing 66 are ideal for level measurement in this application. 22 Every operator wants to benefit from the added value of cloud-based evaluations. The Namur NOA concept explains how this is possible. 38 The waste-free production of fertiliser from phosphorus-containing ashes using fluidised bed spray granulation. INSTRUMENTATION, CONTROL, AUTOMATION 10 COVER Clear signals for LNG Vegaflex 86 – robust guided radar sensors ensure measurement accuracy in LNG production 14 Get the most from your level measurement Selecting the right measurement technology to maximise operational efficiency 18 In-line sensors for bio processes Monitoring critical process parameters in upstream processes FOCUS: IIOT IN CHEMICAL INDUSTRY 20 When everyone speaks Ethernet Seamless communication from field to enterprise level 22 Implementation of the NOA concept Security by design is mandatory 25 PRODUCTS 28 Valve island 4.0 High availability and safe shutdown in the pharmaceutical industry 30 How separation processes profit from IIoT solutions Intelligence for machine and process control PROCESS ENGINEERING 36 Design software for mass transfer columns Packings and trays ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING 38 Fertiliser from phosphorus-containing ashes Waste-free process using fluidised bed spray granulation PLANTS, APPARATUS, COMPONENTS 44 Efficiency throughout the line Dry vacuum systems for the centralisation of vacuum supplies 46 More efficiency for asset management Predictive and preventive maintenance PHARMACEUTICAL ENGINEERING 48 Goodbye manual work Automated particle measurement in the hot air tunnel 50 Modular mills adapted without specification sheets From laboratory to process 52 No dead spaces and no blockages In-line measurement technology instead of instrumentation with tees 54 Microencapsulation of active ingredients Electrostatic spray drying combines drying and agglomeration 4 cpp 02-2019

46 The availability of digital technologies which enable predictive maintenance brings more efficiency in asset management. 54 Using an electro - static spray drying process, sensitive pharmaceutical ingredients can be microencapsulated especially gently.
