August 25, 2009 – Emerson Process Management has designed a clear approach for customers to upgrade from the company’s legacy World-Class oxygen analyzers, and most competitive analyzer systems, to the Rosemount Analytical X-STREAM Oxygen (O2) combustion transmitter without incurring the immediate cost of a full replacement. Emerson’s combustion analyzer migration path simplifies the transition, helping customers achieve the efficiency, effectiveness and cost savings of X-STREAM O2 in planned stages.Depending on the chosen migration path, following are some of the benefits that can be achieved by transitioning from World-Class to X-STREAM O2 combustion analyzers:
- New OxyCore inner assembly, permitting a probe exchange in five minutes versus the traditional hour time investment
- Improved accuracy (± .75 percent of reading or ± 0.05 percent of O2)
- Enhanced diagnostics
- Improved functionality, including ability to measure O2 deficiency during reducing conditions and variable insertion capabilities“Operational efficiency cannot be compromised, even in a difficult economy,” said Doug Simmers, product manager for Emerson’s Rosemount Analytical division.
“The X-STREAM in situ oxygen transmitter offers unique capabilities that our legacy products do not.
With the migration path we now have in place, customers can upgrade specific parts of their oxygen analyzer system that need replaced; thus, minimizing or eliminating the immediate need for a complete new analyzer system.
With this upgrade path, the existing remaining product can take advantage of the new innovations embodied in the replacement hardware and software.
The new X-STREAM product is also compatible with most existing competitive oxygen analyzers.”
A Rosemount Analytical sales representative will review and analyze customers’ current systems and determine the best migration package to meet their needs and budgets.
A detailed analysis by the sales rep takes into account the existing AC line voltage, area classification, electronics, wiring and probe.
“By analyzing a customer’s existing system, our sales team can put together the best migration path to optimize the combustion process for maximum savings and process efficiency,” Simmers said.
“Migrating to X-STREAM O2 is an excellent investment that will pay dividends in the end.”
