Contributing to the Design of Energy‑Efficient, Robust Pyrolysis Plants at Scale Through Advanced Instrumentation
As advanced recycling moves from pilot projects to industrial scale deployment across Europe, pyrolysis OEMs face a common challenge such as scaling quickly while maintaining energy efficiency, robust design, and reliable long-term operation. Achieving this requires...
How ‘2-in-1’ Radar Technology Fulfills Requirement for Independent Tank Gauging and Safety Systems on Liquefied Gas Carriers
Vessels transporting liquefied gases at sea incorporate specialized storage tanks, which must be equipped with both a tank gauging system and a safety system. The tank gauging system provides continuous measurement of liquid levels for inventory management and custody...
How Automation Helps Life Sciences Manufacturers Deliver Faster, Safer Therapies
Why this matters now The last few decades of biopharmaceutical research have seen an explosion in new therapies, many of which treat illnesses once thought impossible to manage. As innovation continues at an unprecedented pace, life sciences manufacturers are under...
Valve Strategies to De-risk Modular LNG and Floating LNG Execution
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.
What Guided Wave Radar Echo Curves Reveal About Your Level Measurement
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.
Balancing Accuracy and Cost in Oil & Gas Flow Measurement
Selecting the right flow meter for upstream or midstream operations often comes down to a balancing act between measurement accuracy and cost. In today’s cost-conscious oil & gas sector, many operators face tough decisions: Is investing in a premium, high-accuracy...
Visibility for BioPharma Operations: From Data Insights to Better Outcomes
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 Emerges as the Defining Metal of the AI Era
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.
Protecting Critical Infrastructure: NERC CIP-015-01 and Internal Network Security Monitoring (INSM)
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.
From Automation Islands to Connected Plants: A Practical Path for Life Sciences Manufacturers
As explored in his recent interview in Pharmaceutical Processing World, Emerson’s Bruce Greenwald—drawing on decades of experience—explains that life sciences manufacturers are moving beyond isolated systems toward connected plants to achieve operational excellence...
How Remote Monitoring and Data Collection Strengthen Overpressure Protection in Natural Gas Distribution
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.
