`SMART WIRELESS APPLICATIONS
`
`Emerson Smart Wireless Technology Used by BP
`Cherry Point and Naperville to Improve Process
`Equipment Monitoring and Availability
`
`BENEFITS
`•Emerson’s Smart Wireless installation unit monitors
`bearing and calciner coke temperatures to help prevent
`fan and conveyor failure
`•The 15-transmitter wireless installation in 2006, believed
`to be the world’s first industrial wireless mesh network
`installation, continues to operate reliably
`
`CHALLENGE
`BP Cherry Point is a 225,000 bpd refinery, and is the largest supplier of
`calcined coke to the aluminum industry. One out of every six aluminum
`cans is made using BP Cherry Point's calcined coke. Fans can cost up to
`$100,000 to repair but, more importantly, can be down for up to 10
`days with associated production losses. BP Cherry Point wanted a way
`to monitor bearing and calciner coke temperature.
`A second facility, BP Naperville R&D, is a world-class technology center
`including a modernized tank farm feeding an expanding number of
`pilot plants that develop processing technology options for BP refining
`worldwide.
`
`SOLUTION
`At Cherry Point, Emerson’s Smart Wireless installation on the refinery’s
`calciner unit monitors bearing and calciner coke temperatures to help
`prevent fan and conveyor failure.
`The Naperville wireless network uses Rosemount® wireless transmitters
`to monitor suction, and discharge pressures, levels, flow, and temperatures.
`New wireless functions are installed as they become available, and
`emphasis is on collaboration with Emerson to expand the capabilities as
`rapidly as possible to cover refinery-wide applications. The real-world
`environment, in a pilot-scale operation, provides feedback to Emerson
`and hands-on experience for refinery management. Options for refinery
`process optimization and sharing of wireless automation technology
`are thereby shared globally by the Refining Technology team.

`“The principal advantage we see
`around wireless is the ability to
`accumulate and analyze a much
`greater array of data than would
`otherwise be economically possible.
`Wireless enables us to get more
`data more efficiently, more
` economically than we ever have
`been able to in the past.”

`SMART WIRELESS APPLICATIONS
`
`RESULTS
`The 15-transmitter wireless installation in 2006 is believed to be the
`world’s first industrial wireless mesh network installation, and continues
`to operate reliably while eliminating operator rounds in the field.
`Cherry Point has expanded wireless use to 35 transmitters including
`tank farm and utility applications, and installation of a Smart Wireless
`gateway in the diesel unit to make it ready for wireless motes.
`Following the first application of Smart Wireless at BP’s Cherry Point
`refinery, BP installed a 45-transmitter wireless network at the Naperville
`tank farm. Operational for about one year, this has provided strong
`operational experience and a platform for testing the technology,
`leading to significant take-up of wireless at other BP refineries
`throughout the world.
`The wireless devices allow operators to be more efficient, collecting
`data from one central point as opposed to walking around the tank
`farm and recording all the values. The other advantage of the wireless
`devices is that they supply data continuously for recording in BP’s
` historian, allowing them to see what is happening in the tank farm at
`any time of the day.
`
`“Wireless is an important enabler
`for ‘refinery of the future’
` technologies.”
