CUSTOMER
ARTES Ingegneria S.p.A delivers integrated water and waste water
treatment solutions for industrial purposes including Oil & Gas,
Petrochemical and Power Generation plants, and civil applications.
Artes, part of Cannon Group, operates in three locations in Italy and is a
major participant in the global water treatment market.
APPLICATION
Water treatment plant for the first FLNG (Floating Liquified Natural Gas)
plant in the world, offshore West Australia.
“Rosemount magnetic flowmeters show the highest reliability
of the market and allow us to provide high reliable water treatment
plants, reducing weight of our
water treatment skids and providing added value to our end-users”
Alessio Liati, Marketing & Sales
Manager
CHALLENGE
The FLNG plant requires demineralized water and treated condensate to
be used in boilers and steam turbines. A primary plant is treating
desalinated water, purifying it to demineralized quality. Another stage of
the plant includes the treatment of steam condensate and allowing the
reintroduction into the boiler system.
The main challenges in a water treatment plant installed in an offshore
or shipboard location are to provide the treatment required with the
lowest weight and smallest footprint, or size, possible. In this specific
case, the water treatment plant had to be installed in the hull of the ship,
and while the hull was under construction; it cannot be removed, the
space is very limited, and any maintenance activity must be clearly
identified from the initial design phase and reduced in time. The
reliability of the instruments must be the highest possible, since there is
no way to remove the skids after installation. When maintenance of the
meters is required, they must be accessible, easy to manage and simple
to troubleshoot.

SOLUTION
Artes has decided to solve this challenge by implementing Emerson magmeter
technology and has recognized the robust, unique design of the Emerson magnetic
flowmeter.The all welded sensor design, combined with a transmitter design that
provides full isolation of the electronics, virtually eliminating failure due to moisture or
contamination of critical components – one of the most common causes of electronics
failure. To further improve shipboard reliability, the electronic components, mounting
and interconnections are designed to perform in applications that can experience high
levels of vibration. The small footprint and minimal straight pipe installation requirement
allowed Artes to reduce the skid size by 2% to 3%, with similar reduction of weight. These
values simplify installation of the skids in offshore or onboard treatment plants, where
overall weights and sizes are critical to success. The compactness of skids enabled by
Rosemount magnetic flowmeters allowed Artes to guarantee easy accessibility. All
maintenance activities can be performed without adding permanent ladders and
platforms, reducing the time and cost of maintenance by 50%.

The Rosemount magnetic flowmeters used by Artes over the last 10 years have provided
100% reliability (total 100 installed mags), proving outstanding service levels within
complex water applications.
Emerson global presence, after-sales services at virtually any location in the World, and
the ability to manage complex international projects were decisive factors for Artes,
distinguishing Emerson from the competition.
