Availability is the metric that matters most to data center operators. Non-intrusive measurement adds another layer of project & operational resilience by eliminating the need to cut, drain, or shut down piping during meter installation or service.
The rapid growth of LNG & FLNG projects introduces valve procurement and execution complexity that traditional approaches were not designed to handle, and project teams that fail to adapt early risk schedule slips, rework, and startup delays.
Guided wave radar (GWR) transmitters are among the most widely deployed level instruments in upstream oil and gas production. Yet, many installations underperform because the echo curve is never examined after commissioning.
More than 10,000 rare diseases affect over 30 million people in the United States alone, and 95 percent of those diseases have no approved treatment. With more than 1,000 active clinical programs working to change that, the pressure on biopharmaceutical manufacturers to accelerate the pipeline without compromising quality or compliance has never been greater.
Copper is undergoing a quiet but profound redefinition. Long viewed primarily as an industrial commodity, it is now rising to the level of critical infrastructure, essential to the digital, electric, and energy systems shaping the next decade.
We unpack what the NERC CIP-015-01 standard requires, the compliance timelines utilities must plan for, and the practical challenges of deploying monitoring inside operational technology environments.
Safety regulations and compliance requirements continue to intensify following high-profile incidents, while nearly a quarter of the natural gas workforce is approaching retirement, taking with them decades of institutional knowledge. Operators need monitoring systems that are both more capable and easier to deploy than ever before.
In this seminar, Process Automation Hall of Fame member Greg McMillan delivers a masterclass on the foundational concepts that drive process control improvement.
Poorly specified or undersized valves in critical services can cause unplanned shutdowns, fugitive emissions, and safety incidents, so getting valve selection right at the front end of a project and revisiting it whenever process conditions change are among the highest-leverage actions an operator or engineering contractor can take.
Valve failures in mining drive unplanned downtime, safety hazards, environmental exposure, and lost production. Abrasive slurries, cavitation, and corrosive acids each attack valves in different ways, yet all lead to the same outcome: shortened service life and rising maintenance costs. A podcast analyzing available solutions.
Many floating production vessels now operating off Africa and elsewhere were converted or built decades ago and are approaching or exceeding their original design lives. The monitoring equipment installed during that era is equally dated, leaving integrity teams dependent on manual ultrasonic inspections, retrievable corrosion coupons, and intrusive probes.
Process Automation Hall-of-Fame member, Greg McMillan’s freely available Tuning and Control Loop Performance, presents a field‑tested body of knowledge built on decades of industrial application.
