How an international mining company overcame challenges in measuring sulfuric acid concentration with Emerson’s Flexim PIOX S solution, ensuring uninterrupted control over acid strength and mitigating corrosion risks.
Based on many plant visits and discussions with Emerson customers, I have concluded that handling slurries is one of the biggest problems for operators and reliability teams. The most frequently mentioned issues are clogging and erosion, which certainly take their...
En este episodio los expertos en instrumentación industrial, Jorge Espinoza y Martín López nos comparten sobre las tecnologías de medición y monitoreo para variables críticas en la industria minera. Exponen sobre los más recientes avances en medición para incrementar...
Emerson’s Mathias Gehl, from the recently acquired Flexim organization presented Water Management Compliance with FLEXIM Non-Intrusive Flow Measurement at the 2024 Emerson Exchange Conference in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Cristián Doerr presented Increasing the Uptime of a Shovel in a Mining site with the AMS2140 to share ways for miners to improve overall shovel reliability at the 2023 Emerson Exchange Immerse Conference.
With Clarkson KS1 knife gate valves from Emerson, the improvement was dramatic and immediate. After 8 months, the new valves remain in service, never having required a repair or change out. The installed cost of each valve was less than $27,000, so the project paid for itself in just over two weeks, and it has been generating nearly $10,000 per week in savings since.
4 reasons why radar level is superior to ultrasonic level technology: Radar and ultrasonic level measurements are both widely used in industrial and environmental applications for measuring the level of liquids and solids in lift stations, tanks, and open...
The best technology often depends upon the relative size of the valve and the existence of a compressed air system. If a pressurized air system already exists, adding a few more pneumatic valves to it is likely the best choice. In a greenfield application, an all-electric actuation solution may be better option, particularly when the capital and operational cost of a new compressed air system is considered. Other drivers impacting the decision include a requirement for variable stroke/torque profiles or precise positioning, the ability to power actuators with solar power, or water-constrained environments, which raise air compressor operating costs significantly.
A 16-page ebook, Extract More from Your Operations, features the article, Improved Asset Management Increases Reliability. The article shares how data from asset monitoring systems can be analyzed to create insights for predictive maintenance, and certain assets can be upgraded to dramatically lower total cost of ownership.
To help miners overcome these issues, the Emerson mining team developed a 16-page eBook, entitled Extract More from Your Operations, featuring the article, Sustainability Step-by-Step.
A new interactive guide, Extract More from Your Mining Operations, describes strategies miners currently use to overcome the challenges of optimizing mining processes and production, improving safety, and caring for the environment and surrounding communities.
Jim Cahill recently connected with Emerson’s Thishen Naidoo, a heavy industries marketing leader for the machine automation solutions portfolio. Here is their interview of his interesting and problem-solving take on the current state of mining.
