In this quick 4-minute video, Gaining Insight into Operational Performance to Optimize Production, Emerson’s Juan Panama explains how the Plantweb digital ecosystem breaks down data siloes so facilities can run harder, more reliably and safer.
In a Hydrocarbon Engineering article, A Fine Balance, Emerson’s Jake Davies describes ways to address the corrosion and erosion that can wear away piping, tanks, vessels and valves in the refining process.
The International Society of Automation (ISA) is growing nice online communities in their members-only ISAConnect section of the website. One of the active groups, Chemical and Petroleum Industries Division (ChemPID), is led by Emerson’s David Lee.
In an Oil & Gas Engineering article, Emerson’s Ali Babakr and David Macedonia explain the value of NACE Standards for understanding corrosion resistance.
Vortex flow measurement is uniquely adaptive when it comes to handling difficult applications. By virtue of its science, utilizing the von Kármán effect, these instruments are accurate across a wide operating range and effective at withstanding high process pressures...
Reliable natural gas quality analysis is critical to minimizing safety, operability and financial problems across the value chain. Variability in gas quality can create a variety of challenges for large-scale users, particularly for use as a fuel for gas turbines or...
This article, How refiners can empower a digitally transformed workforce, focuses on strategies and technologies available to enable refiners to better manage the skills shortage—primarily due to increasingly complex operations and a generation of seasoned experts retiring.
In an Industrial Compliance article, Emerson’s Nick Pinto stresses the importance of gas detection for a safety system. Anyone designing or working with safety systems for refineries and chemical plants must be fluent in the language of standards created by ISA, ANSI,...
In a Flow Control article, Emerson’s Tom Bass looks at new wireless protocols, including 5G, and opines on the validity of each. Any company that has developed a new product for a specific market and purpose will eventually ask, “Where else can we sell this thing?...
Emerson’s Manuel Arroyo, Director, Oil & Gas Industry Programs kicks off this podcast series with host Jim Cahill by highlighting some of the risks & challenges and previews some of the technologies that can help you make the right operational decisions to achieve terminal profitability.
This article highlights how leveraging automation can ensure on time project completion with digital technologies that can automate workflows; wireless instruments that can eliminate field engineering and wiring costs; new analytics that create smarter plants, and the ability to build full digital twins of both the plant and the control system.
In a Hydrocarbon Engineering article, Emerson’s Andrew Smith looks at the sensors used to measure effluents in refinery wastewater. For those people responsible for compliance with EPA and other environmental regulations, it can seem like there are many hoops to jump...
