Schneider Electric Pty Ltd
Tuesday, 29 May, 2012

Invensys Operations Management announced yesterday that it has signed a licensing agreement with Valero Energy Corporation, allowing use of Invensys’s patented ACA.HF Advanced Alkylation Measurement Solution. The first phase of the agreement will see Valero implement the solution at seven of its refineries.

Invensys says its system “monitors and measures hydrofluoric (HF) acid levels in real time by analysing differential responses from online sensors, helping to improve the safety, reliability and environmental performance of the refinery and creating new opportunities to reduce operating costs”.

The Invensys Measurement Solution removes the need for manual sampling of HF by using real-time online sensors, reducing the possibility of accidental exposure and environmental hazards.
