Every shift, operators at this paper mill in Uruguay had to climb a flight of stairs—just to check the level on a gauge. 😰 Not because they wanted the cardio… but because the camera in the control room couldn’t pick it up clearly. The Reliance team suggested upgrading to the Simpliport® 180 Bi-Color Ported Water Gage Glasses & LED Illumination Once installed, the Reliance® Simpliport made the level instantly visible on the CCTV feed. No more stair climbs. No more guesswork.

Anderson Separators & Filter Elements: In the midstream gas sector, compressors are essential for keeping product moving — but they often introduce tramp oil into the system. Left unchecked, this can lead to foaming, fouling, and costly downtime. 💵 💡 The Solution: Clark-Reliance supports the gathering, transportation, treatment, and storage stages of the midstream market with high-performance separation technology. Our Anderson Mechanical Separators (Vane & Centrifugal) and

A major Oil & Natural Gas operator in the UAE sought to modernize their boiler level indication systems. The existing setup—a water column with flat glass gages—was no longer meeting their standards for visibility & reliability. The Clark-Reliance Solution: LevelMax™ – a comprehensive system integrating Simpliport® 180 and Smart Level Eye-Hye® technologies. We upgraded the customer to a LevelMax™ Two Instrument Assembly. The LevelMax™ system provides one of the most economica

SafeView Shields protect operators from potential flat glass gage high - pressure leaks. Although armored glass liquid level gages are extremely reliable, leaks can occur due to deferred maintenance or the rigors of continuous operation under high pressure. Erosion of armored gage glass, for example, is often invisible without inspection of the disassembled gage.  Installation of a SafeView Shield takes just a few minutes – you can easily retrofit your entire facility. They a

A major pulp & paper facility in Chile faced process water issues. One of their tanks receives a steady mix of wastewater from across the plant—mud, suspended solids, and wood chips. The plant needed a level measurement solution that could handle the mess without losing accuracy or getting jammed. The Clark-Reliance Solution: We provided a Jerguson® FlashProof™ Magnicator® Magnetic Level Gage, equipped with an oversized chamber. This design prevents the float from sticking,

Here’s a look at one of our Jerguson® Magnicator® Magnetic Level Indicators installed on a process tank at a chemical processing facility. You’ll notice something different—this gage is inverted. The gage is inverted due to limited lower clearance. The gage being inverted allows the operators to easily access the float from the top flange. This magnetic level indicator is also equipped with SAS-16™ Snap-Action Switches. SAS-16 Switches can be used as a low, low-low, high, or

As part of a major expansion project in Western Canada, a canola processing facility is adding a new crushing line that will more than double its annual capacity to over 2 million metric tons. The plant crushes and refines canola seed for use in cooking oils and animal feed. The expansion required reliable visual flow verification across multiple critical process points, including: Product transfer from crushers to cyclonic separators Through evaporators and filtration system

The Problem: In thermal oil production, especially in high-volume operations exceeding 200,000 bbl./day, the reliability of fuel gas injection systems is crucial. One thermal oil producer was relying on threaded rotameters to confirm gas flow at the wellhead, but encountered frequent clogging due to contaminated sour gas (H₂S). In addition to the plugging issues, the use of sour gas requires strict compliance with material standards for corrosion resistance. 3D CAD model of a

A Sugar Mill in North Dakota is actively replacing their aging bi-color boiler gauges with Simpliport® 180 Bi-Color Ported Water Gage Glasses & LED Illumination . Their old gauges required operators to be directly in front of the glass just to see the level—and even then, visibility was limited. In addition, the gauges required frequent and costly maintenance and rebuilds. Our Wide Angle Optics Illuminate Boiler Water Level at Any Angle, Any Distance Advantages of upgrading t

A refinery in the UAE faced ongoing challenges with their Magnetic Level Gages and associated Level Switches. The high-temperature process within their columns caused boiling inside the gages, leading to unreliable readings and frequent false trips and alarms. Boiling fluids can cause the float to sink in a traditional level indicator. This situation is common when there are substantial temperature differences between the fluid in a vessel and the fluid in an indicator chambe

A leading cheese manufacturer in the Midwest struggled with poor visibility on their traditional boiler water level gages. Their outdated system made it difficult to get accurate readings, impacting efficiency and safety. To solve this, they upgraded to our Reliance Series FG900 Boiler Level Gages with DuraStar® LED Illumination, gaining: Superior Visibility  – High-contrast amber LEDs create a brilliant star-like image of the water line, visible day or night. Increased Durab

Problem: A major paper mill in Brazil faced ongoing challenges with its traditional boiler water glass gage. Operating at 100 bar (~1500 psi), the existing gage was unreliable and difficult to read, increasing operator risk and reducing efficiency. Solution: We demoed our Simpliport® 180 Bi-Color Ported Water Gage Glass & LED Illumination and the customer immediately saw the benefits from switching their traditional gage over to a Simpliport 180. By switching to the Simplipo

The Problem: Throughout the midstream sector, compressors are used to maintain system pressure and convey gas through the system.  These compressors push some lubrication oil (tramp oil) into the gas.  If the oil is not removed, it can cause foaming or fouling. The Solution: Clark-Reliance is active in the gathering, transportation, treatment, and storage segments of the midstream market. In terms of equipment, we have provided Anderson® Mechanical Separators (Vane Separators

Managing Water Content In Systems by Using Separators, Vanes, and Steam Traps What is Occurring? Steam is used throughout in a wide range of application in the production of food for human consumption and animal feed.  If the water is heated beyond the boiling point, it vaporizes into steam.  Steam is water in the gaseous state. Not all steam is the same.  The properties of steam vary greatly depending on the pressure and temperature to which it is subject. Controlling the dr
