Navigating Feedstock Volatility: How Online Corrosion Monitoring Keeps Refiners in Control April 23, 2026 | Measurement Instrumentation - Market uncertainty is back and refiners are responding the only way they can - by looking at alternative crudes. Tariffs, sanctions, shifting trade lanes, and sustained oil price volatility have returned macroeconomic pressure to refining margins in recent months. When feedstock costs are unpredictable, opportunity crudes (cheaper barrels sourced outside a refinery's typical supply chain)… Read More
Turning Tabletop Exercises Into Real‑World Cyber Resilience April 21, 2026 | Cybersecurity, Digital Transformation - Cybersecurity is not and never has been a set-and-forget solution. Every day attackers identify new strategies and exploits they can use to create havoc across global infrastructure. But cybersecurity software rarely—if ever—feels like a value-add. For process manufacturers, it’s a cost to bet against something that isn’t their core business, and with benefits that are… Read MoreLatest Posts
Turning Fuel Gas Conditioning into a Path to Better Plant Performance
Combined-cycle power plants pair gas turbines with a steam turbine to achieve roughly 60% overall efficiency, placing them among the most efficient large-scale generation technologies available today. Those gains depend entirely on precise fuel gas conditioning.
Mastering Tank Pressure: Practical Ways to Reduce Risk, Product Loss, and Emissions
Storage tanks may look static, but pressure inside them is constantly changing. Filling, emptying, solar heating, rain cooling, vapor generation, inert gas supply, and connected recovery systems can all affect the pressure in the vapor space above the liquid. If those pressure changes are not managed, a tank can exceed its maximum allowable working pressure or fall below its maximum allowable working vacuum.
AI Data Centers Are Rewriting the Rules of Power Infrastructure
TL;DR AI data centers require far more power than traditional facilities. The electrical grid cannot yet support this scale or volatility. Onsite, islanded power systems are becoming the preferred approach. Project coordination is a major challenge across multiple...
Optimizing Power Plant Efficiency with Pressure Relief and Blowdown Valves
In high-pressure, high-temperature service, small deviations in valve performance translate into measurable efficiency losses and safety risk. Code-compliant selection, proven design features, and factory-verified testing help operators avoid unplanned outages, extend maintenance intervals, and protect critical assets.
Reshaping Grid and Data Center Power Strategies
Why this matters now The AI revolution is here, and it comes with a very real and growing demand for power. As AI capabilities become embedded into everyday tools and industrial systems alike, the energy required to train and operate these models has grown...
Cooling Cannot Run on Guesswork: Why Measurement Confidence Matters from Day One in Data Centers
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape data center infrastructure, cooling systems are quickly becoming one of the most critical factors in determining performance, efficiency, and uptime. A recent article published on Automation.com, Cooling Cannot Run on...
