Title: Barking CCGT uses Emerson wielessHART® to monitor steam traps and valves

Sophisticated WirelessHART® acoustic “listening” technology combined with an integrated temperature measurement was deployed across the plant to monitor steam traps, PRV's and vent valves. This innovative combination of technologies offered a reliable and cost effective solution for identifying the problems that lead to unscheduled downtime, poor turbine efficiency and energy loss. A total of 100 Rosemount TM 708 Wireless Acoustic Transmitters were non-intrusively installed on critical vent valves, steam traps and PRV's. Barking had previous experience with a WirelessHART network in the plant. Despite the vast distance covered by the network and the tough environment introduced by the power plant, the wireless network proved to be very reliable. This gave Barking confidence to use Emerson's Smart Wireless technology for this new application.
