Comparing and Contrasting Gas Detection Technologies
In many manufacturing and production processes, dangerous gases are present due to their use as a fuel, feedstock or creation as an end product. In an Industrial Automation Asia article, Electrochemical vs Semiconductor Gas Detection – A Critical Choice, Emerson's...
Innovating to Meet Bioprocessing Single-Use Requirements
Suppliers to the industry have been innovating to meet the single-use requirements of biotech manufacturers. Emerson’s Michalle Adkins pointed me to a recent award received for technology innovation for these single-use requirements.
Maximizing Combustion Efficiency
Emerson's Andrew Smith and Jesse Sumstad presented "Tune into Savings by Maximizing Your Combustion Efficiency" at the 2019 Emerson Exchange conference. Here is the abstract of their session: There are two major, competing theories to fired equipment control:...
Desalination Measurements for Greater Efficiency
In many areas of the world, including the Asia-Pacific region, desalination plants have been built to meet the need for fresh water. In a Water & Wastewater Asia magazine article, Liquid analysis: The key to efficient, economical desalination, Emerson's Ryo...
Conductivity Measurement for Optimized Clean-in-Place Operations
Common in the Life Sciences and Food & Beverage industries are clean-in-place (CIP) operations to effectively clean the interior surfaces of production process piping, vessels and other inline assets before the next batch is run. This short, 2:10 YouTube video,...
Accurately Monitoring Gas and Smoke in Difficult Locations
Gas and smoke aspirator systems monitor for smoke or gas ingress where installing detectors are not feasible. These aspirator systems work by having the sample being measured by a probe pulled in to the aspirator system under an adjustable vacuum created by an...
Minimizing Project Execution Risks for Complex Analytical Systems
Many manufacturers and producers require high-resolution analysis of liquid and process gas streams as an integral part of their production processes. A big challenge is in designing, engineering, installing, commissioning and supporting these complex analytical...
How to Set Up Gas Chromatograph Serial Communications
Gas chromatographs (GCs) are used in the oil & gas industry where critical measurement of the components in gas are required. GCs are used in custody transfer applications to more complex hydrocarbon C9+ analysis with dew point calculations, trace contaminant...
Accurate and Efficient Water Treatment Chlorine Analysis
Chlorine is an important disinfectant whether used in swimming pools or the water that flows into our homes and businesses. For water treatment facilities, water treatment monitoring is one of the most important facility operations. Meeting regulatory requirements for...
Flame and Gas Detection in Layers of Protection
For manufacturing processes with hazardous substances that are combustible or can cause harm to people and property, flame and gas detection systems are often used as part of the risk mitigation strategy. This 11-minute video, Rosemount Flame and Gas Layers of...
Measuring and Analyzing Gas Components Across Broad Range
Many applications including emissions monitoring, ethylene purity, ammonia slip, hydrocarbon gas composition, and more require the measurement of the concentration of various components in a gas mixture. One technology used to perform this measurement is tunable diode...
