Background
A major refinery in California faced compliance challenges with the boilers in their hydrogen plant. The existing traditional ported gages were non-functional, leaving the facility in violation of the ASME Boiler Code. This posed both operational risks and regulatory concerns, necessitating immediate action to address the issue.
Solution
Our team, in collaboration with the local territory representative, conducted a comprehensive site survey to assess the plant’s requirements. During the evaluation, we identified the essential updates needed to bring the plant up to code and discussed how our Simpliport® 180 Bi-Color Ported Water Gage (SP4000) could not only meet but exceed these regulatory standards.
Installed worldwide since 1962, Simpliport® Boiler Water Level Glass Gages provide reliable direct-reading, bi-color indication up to 3000 PSI (206 Bar). Continuous advancements to the Simpliport design have made them easier to install, easier to maintain and now, much easier to view.
Wherever you may be standing within 180° of the Simpliport Wide Angle Hood, you can clearly see the bright red or green indication of steam and water level. You will decrease your exposure time to the boiler environment, while maintaining a crystal clear view of a direct reading gage as required by ASME.
The Simpliport 180 System consists of a stainless-steel gage body, an LED illuminator assembly, and a wide angle optic viewing hood assembly. There are no service parts associated with the viewing hood assembly. View the video below to learn more.
Results
To date, the refinery has purchased three SP4000 gages, with plans to procure an additional eight over the next year. By providing not just a product but also expert guidance, we helped the refinery address immediate compliance concerns while laying the groundwork for improved operational standards.
