At the 4C Health, Safety & Environmental Conference, Emerson’s Dean Barnes and Mo Fazl presented How to Control and Reduce Tank Vent Fugitive Emissions and Maintenance Costs and Quantify Releases Through Proper Product Selection and Remote Monitoring.
Emerson’s Marcio Donnangelo shares ways to improve personnel safety in his 2023 4C HSE conference presentation, Safety Showers and Location Awareness – Improving Safety with Wireless Monitoring.
Jacob Tardoni presents Mapping an Evacuation in Real-Time—Digital Mustering with Wireless Personnel Location Technology at the 2023 AIChE Spring Meeting. It explored barriers to speedy evacuation & mustering and how to apply digital mustering technology to address and overcome these barriers.
A whitepaper, Doubling Up On Safety, explores a two-solenoid safety methodology that lets you exercise your solenoid valve online—protecting your plant, improving uptime, and enabling you to better adhere to functional safety requirements.
In a Hydrocarbon Processing article, “Simplifying Safety Valve Installation and Maintenance”, Kurtis Jensen & Lura Parrent highlight new technologies on how to simplify safety valve installations while improving performance and reliability.
Effective alarms are one of the most important elements of a safe plant. However, setting up an effective process alarm solution is a stumbling point for many teams. There are ways to create better alarm management, but they aren’t always intuitive. Fortunately,...
Milan Rakita’s “Why Compact Actuation Solutions are Ideal for Constrained Space Installations” article discusses how a vertical profile actuator is providing new opportunities for space-constrained applications.
An out-of-the-box proof testing solution, ProofCheck, is available to provide all the elements of proper SIS testing in a single solution, including field devices, wiring, signal conditioners, safety logic, basic process control system (BPCS) logic, final control element response, and manually entered data. It automates safety validation and proof test procedures.
In a Safety Solutions article, Improve plant safety with location monitoring technology, Emerson’s Bala Chinnappan shares another use case, tracking the path of individuals that have tested positive for infectious diseases, such as COVID.
When is it possible to use control valves like final elements for SIS [safety instrumented system] application? I am looking for other useful documents and technical requirements when it is possible to use only control valves as the final element instead of on/off valves and not in combination with it in the SIF [safety instrumented function] application.
As a complimentary technique to manual inspection methods, wireless corrosion monitoring can greatly enhance visibility into plant and asset health while also keeping personnel out of hazardous areas. In order to drive a plant to its maximum capability, operators must continuously monitor its corrosion risk in real time.
In a Process Industry Informer article, Redundant Solenoid Valve Architecture Improves Safety and Reliability, Emerson’s Mike Howells describes the importance of these valves for safety and architectures to exercise and test these valves for ongoing reliable performance.
