Automating CID1/Zone 0 Gas Processes: Use Cases In Oil & Gas
In today’s hazardous-area operations, the gap between efficient and legacy systems is widening, and operations that modernise instrumentation now gain advantages that could render these legacy systems obsolete. This eBook presents real-world case studies from across the oil and gas supply chain, showing how teams from Europe, Asia, and North America are modernising safely and effectively in Class I, Division 1 and Zone 0, 1 environments. Each example highlights how integrated flow and pressure control supports cleaner data, simpler architectures, and stronger system reliability.
Across upstream, midstream, and downstream applications, operators face persistent challenges: unstable sampling conditions, complex system designs, and measurement drift driven by pressure and temperature changes. These case studies show how consolidating measurement and control into a single intrinsically safe instrument reduces the number of components that must be installed, maintained, and protected. By unifying accurate flow measurement or responsive pressure regulation with digital communication, intrinsically safe, multivariate flow and pressure instruments empower technicians to maintain consistent sampling conditions, optimise chromatograph retention times, and achieve repeatable, verifiable control.
Readers will see how teams in refineries, petrochemical, natural gas, and brownfields use IS-Max™ mass flow, or IS-Pro™ pressure instruments to collect richer, more traceable data while reducing manual intervention. Learn how improved measurement stability enhances analyser performance, strengthens safety in hazardous areas, and lowers lifecycle cost through reduced device count and streamlined system architecture.
For those who manage sampling systems, pressure-regulated process equipment, or continuous emissions monitoring systems, this eBook offers practical, field-tested strategies for simplifying strategies and P&ID designs, improving diagnostic visibility, and ensuring consistent, safe, and efficient control in CID1/Zone 0, 1 environments.
