Addressing sustainability challenges in utility and water management in mining is crucial for ensuring the long-term viability of resources and meeting both regulatory demands and community needs. Below are the top four challenges in this sector: Water Scarcity and...
Managing water efficiently is crucial in mining—any uncertainty can lead to elevated costs, safety and environmental risks, and operational inefficiencies. Emerson's advanced flow technologies, including the Flexim Non-Intrusive Ultrasonic Flow Meter and the...
In the mining and metals industry, managing every drop of water is not just an environmental responsibility but a critical economic necessity. Water, in its silent flow, carries the weight of operational efficiencies and sustainability goals. Yet, as our industry...
One of the greatest challenges around the world is convincing people (or companies, for that matter) to make changes they don’t want to invest in. Regardless of the state of the marketplace, change that comes with added costs is always a difficult sell. And if that...
Over the last century and more, a few industries have developed large-scale integrated production and distribution systems, covering the span from source to final consumer. Oil and gas are the most obvious, covering all aspects of industrial, commercial, and consumer...
Are you familiar with electric rope shovels? If you’re in the mining industry, you almost certainly are, but for those who may not have mining experience, a quick definition is in order. Electric rope shovels handle the movement of massive loads of minerals at a mine...
It is simply untrue to suggest that radar is an unsuitable technology for providing accurate and reliable level measurements of liquefied gases. In fact, modern non-contacting radar transmitters excel in such applications and provide significant advantages over...
At the Emerson Exchange 2025 Conference, Emerson’s Marcelo Carugo and Doug Cooper joined Hydrocarbon Processing Magazine podcast host Lee Nichols to discuss advanced digital technologies to combat corrosion.
Autologous and personalized cell and gene therapies (CGTs) are at the frontier of modern medicine, offering potential cures for previously untreatable conditions. However, scaling these therapies presents complex challenges distinct from traditional pharmaceuticals. Manufacturing requires managing multiple small, patient-specific batches, leading to issues such as high costs, time-sensitive processes, and regulatory scrutiny, alongside demands for precise data management and traceability. To address these challenges, organizations are adopting digital strategies that include intelligent automation, real-time monitoring, and AI-driven process optimization. Emerson’s white paper, “Digital Excellence for Advanced Therapies,” provides valuable insights into digital transformation, showcasing methods to build scalable and compliant CGT manufacturing environments, reduce batch variability, and accelerate delivery to patients, ensuring effective regulatory compliance.
Emerson’s Andrew Cureton presented Don’t Overthink It–Wireless for Chemical Industry MON Mandate Compliance at the 2025 Emerson Exchange Conference. His session explored the monitoring requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rules for pressure relief valves.
Even casual fans of old-school superheroes know that Superman’s X-ray vision gives him the ability to see through solid walls (although maybe not lead), leaving criminals unable to hide from him. No doubt many process engineers and technicians wish they had such a...
