One of the most popular topics of discussion at the 2025 Ovation Users’ Group Conference has been the new Ovation™ Automation Platform 4.0. Attendees have had the opportunity to take a close look at the software to see all the new capabilities and features built in....
There is no question that the rise of renewable energy has complicated operations for power generators and distributors. New technologies mean new devices and lots more data to manage. With each passing year, everything seems to be getting bigger and more complicated....
Highlights on a path to more connected sites, systems, and the enterprise. This Emerson Exchange session featured discussions involving foundational connectivity, module enhancements, a scalable data fabric, integrated applications, and an intelligent platform specific to the Life Sciences sector.
I caught the Inverter-Based Resources presentation by two engineers with a leading U.S. electrical power supplier at the 2025 Ovation Users’ Group Conference. These inverter-based resources (IBRs) are driven by renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.
Flow measurement may not always make headlines, but for industries like oil and gas, chemical manufacturing, and life sciences, it’s the cornerstone of operational excellence. I recently had the pleasure of joining Len Vermillion on the Control Amplified podcast to...
Non-contacting radar is the favored technology for providing accurate and reliable liquid level measurement in a range of applications aboard marine vessels, such as in fuel tanks and cargo tanks. The measurements provided help to ensure both safe and efficient...
Oil separators perform a crucial task in upstream petroleum operations, but process control instability can cause product losses and downstream equipment fouling. One facility in Canada faced serious reliability issues with its oil separator, significantly reducing...
As electrification continues to increase around the globe, more and more power generators—including utilities—are looking for new sources of generation to keep up with demand. On the most basic level, the push toward more electric vehicles and the electronic devices...
The American Petroleum Institute (API) recently issued the 25th edition of their API 6D standard, which includes design, testing, and documentation requirements for valve actuators, as outlined in API 6DX. My article in the June 2025 issue of Pipeline & Gas...
Emerson’s Sarah Morgan presented Take a Deep Dive into Ovation Green SCADA at the 2025 Ovation Users’ Conference. Ovation Green SCADA is a built-for-purpose renewable energy software solution that provides a top-down approach to viewing, monitoring, controlling, optimizing, and providing renewable energy asset management.
Processing, storing, and transporting LNG requires a host of valves that must perform reliably under very challenging conditions. These valves must deal with cryogenic temperatures, while meeting strict requirements for tight shutoff and low fugitive emissions. Our...
Systems to combat air pollution from combustion processes generally inject a chemical into the gas stream that is designed to neutralize a specific pollutant. For example, limestone slurry is sprayed into sulfur-dioxide-laden flue gas to neutralize the potential acid...
