Automation helping the cement industry minimize carbon capture costs
The high cost of carbon capture, due to the amount of energy it requires, presents challenges for its widespread adoption by the cement industry. This article explains how advanced automation can improve the energy efficiency of carbon capture, increasing its viability within cement production.
Industrial Software Drives Competitive Advantage in a Global Marketplace
Globalization has dramatically changed the way process manufacturers operate. As more and more companies around the world begin to participate in the global marketplace, the demand for resources increases exponentially—both due to the resources used in manufacturing...
Should you Rethink your PID-based Control Strategy?
PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative)-based control has been commonly used for decades. And while it still is adequate for controlling many process parameters, the time may be right to take a step back and re-evaluate PID-based control in power generation and other...
Modern Advanced Process Control is Easier than Ever
It likely comes as no surprise that advanced process control (APC) has only gotten better as time has gone by. Old APC software, though very powerful in its own right, was often complex to configure and even more difficult to maintain. That turned away a lot of...
Beating the Drum for Improved Dynamic Performance, Resiliency and Stability
When was the last time you thought about your drum level control strategy? If it’s been a while, here are a few reasons why you might want to elevate this on your priority list. The energy landscape has changed as power producers continue their journey toward...
Case Study: How a U.S. Water Authority Significantly Reduced Secondary Treatment Costs
Manually controlling water and wastewater treatment processes — such as those performed by aeration basins — typically creates significant operational variations that translate into reduce efficiency, higher costs and lower performance. Automation offers a solution...
AI and Machine Learning in Process Control
Emerson’s Greg McMillan tackles this topic in a ControlGlobal.com article, Control Talk: Machine learning, deep learning and nonlinear controls. In the article, Greg interviews Ineos Group’s Vivek Dabhholkar.
Unlock the Full Capabilities of Your Automation with Advanced Process Control
Many of today’s process manufacturers face an uphill battle as global competition continues to increase. Each performance improvement engineers squeeze out of their systems can mean significant gains in both competitive advantage and in meeting today’s most important...
Forecasting the Future of Process Control
Industry is moving away from the traditional model that locks the control system away from any internet connectivity. As Claudio Fayad, vice president of technology for Emerson’s process systems and solutions explains in his recent article in Process and Control...
Sharing Automation Knowledge and Experience
I’m always amazed at the wealth of knowledge and experience exchanged in the Emerson Exchange 365 global user community. One example I’ve been following is in the DeltaV Forum, Fuzzy logic control in DeltaV.
BioPhorum’s Roadmap for Speed to Market with In-Line Monitoring and Real-Time Release
Traditional manufacturing practices have served the biopharmaceutical industry well for years, but times are changing and a need for speed to market in life sciences while reducing manufacturing costs is putting a focus on enabling real-time release (RTR)....
