Process Control Measurement
Process measurements provide valuable, often critical, control of industrial operations. They help businesses run consistently, reliably, and most importantly safely.
Accurate data can provide the required system inputs to ensure products adhere to quality standards and regulatory guidelines. By monitoring key variables such as particulates, oxygen, flow rate, and specific process gas concentrations, businesses can identify inconsistencies, calculate efficiencies and make necessary corrections to optimise performance.
Furthermore, operating regimes can often be adapted to suit the data, with planned shut downs/maintenance being pushed back or pulled forward as required.
What is process control measurement?
In industrial settings, process control measurement is essential for maintaining consistency, optimising production efficiency, minimising waste and ensuring high product quality. Reliable and precise measurements enable effective process control, allowing real-time adjustments to sustain optimal plant running conditions.
How we can help with process control measurement
CEM Solutions (UK) Ltd have a range of process control equipment; various types of measurement devices, designed to enhance efficiency, improve safety and reduce operating costs.
Many measurement devices are used in process control, including sensors, transmitters, controllers, and data loggers. These instruments monitor variables such as dust and process gases including oxygen.
They additionally measure flow, temperature, pressure & humidity. Commonly used sensors include thermocouples, pressure sensors, and various gas analysers. While sensors and transmitters send signals to control systems, data loggers such as CEMWare collect the measured data for operators to trend and identify ways to improve overall process efficiency.

What are process control instruments used for?
Process control instrumentation is widely used across industries such as power / EfW (Energy from Waste), chemical manufacturing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and water treatment. In the Energy from Waste sector, bag filer monitoring using triboelectric dust probes helps identify chambers with degrading filter socks, enabling planned maintenance over costly emergency shutdown and equipment repairs.
In chemical production, precise measurements of NO, NO2 & O2 are essential to understanding the curing times of a product and increasing efficiency of the production process. Having these instruments in place also helps ensure regulatory compliance as, in some cases, only annual emissions tests are required.
In most combustion processes, oxygen and temperature measurements are made to maximise the efficiency of the boiler. Process control instruments allow operators to improve combustion, reduce maintenance and prolong the life of the boiler itself.
Why you need process control equipment
Implementing process control measurements provides several benefits, including improved efficiency, enhanced safety as well as potential cost savings. Accurate measurements enable businesses to streamline production, minimise waste, and boost productivity. Real-time anomaly detection helps prevent equipment malfunctions, reducing downtime and maintenance expenses.
Furthermore, process control measurement in consumer product industries such as food and beverage is crucial for maintaining product quality and customer satisfaction, ultimately safeguarding a company’s reputation.
