“First serve, then earn!” This comes from our company founder, George H. Endress, who believed that customers always come first – that we must meet the challenges of customers to be successful. This principle leads us just as strongly today. Our port folio of instruments, solutions and services is tailored to address your specific challenges. These include ensuring the safety of your plant, personnel and the environment; boosting productivity, and improving process reliability and availability. We know that safety allows no compromise. The complex infrastructures and processes across the natural gas value chain hold many potential hazards, hence safety cannot be taken for granted. The rapid growth in gas trade and globally developing integrated gas market are challenging the industry as it balances growth and productivity with maintaining and improving safety outcomes. Varying compositions of raw natural gas and fluctuating process and environmental conditions create challenges for the efficient operation of natural gas processing, liquefac tion trains and related facilities. Your competitiveness demands greater measurement accuracy and enhanced control of all processes along the gas value chain. Converting natural gas to LNG in a liquefaction plant typically involves four main processes with critical mea surement points: pretreatment, acid gas removal and dehydration, fractionation to remove heavy hydrocarbons, and liquefaction. Each of these operations requires reli able measurement and tight process control to ensure the continuous uninterrupted operation needed for on-time loading and shipment of LNG. Our offering enables you to reduce startup times, minimize unforeseen shutdowns and ensure the highest plant availability. Your challenges, our mission
