Although the US continues to face economic uncertainty, the chemical industry has seen significant investment and growth. As production expands to meet the world’s future demands, growth in the chemical industry is projected to double by 2035. This seems far away but before you know it, you will be saying the future is here! The question you need to ask yourself is, “Will your processes be completely automated or are you going to be caught having level instrumentation in some vessels and yet continue taking manual level measurements in others - let’s say five years from now?”
The chemical sector differentiates from other industries for its wide range of diverse processes ranging from small to large production scales and production demands calling for batch to continuous processes. In a competitive environment, having an efficient process is a must. If you expect to survive, you might want to take look at where you are today and where you want to be a few years from now. Being able to adapt quickly to process changes, production demands and customized customer requirements will dictate the level of investment and instrumentation you will need to achieve optimal output without risking efficiency.
