Prabhat Behera from Occidental (Oxy) shared insights and lessons learned from a wellhead electrification project. Puffer-Sweiven’s Jack Lee and Emerson’s Damian Trujillo joined him to provide additional context on the successful project.
In this 3:35 YouTube video, Bettis XTE3000 Electric Actuator, Emerson Impact Partner, Puffer-Sweiven’s Erin Lipman, describes how this intelligent electric actuator provides reliable and maintainable operation even in the harshest environments.
This video provides an overview of the principle of operation for Bettis Electro-Hydraulic Operator (EHO). These self-contained actuators are designed to actuate quarter-turn valves to provide fail-safe actuation for Emergency Shut Down (ESD) valves.
Emerson’s Knut Riegel joins podcast host Jim Cahill in this Emerson Automation Experts podcast to discuss motor operated valves and the information that can be extracted to improve performance.
In a recorded webinar, Smart Electric Valve Actuators for Critical Fail-Safe Applications, Emerson’s Knut Riegel and Umberto Bianchi share how these actuators are well-suited for emergency shutdown (ESD) applications.
Emerson’s Roman Kudinov alerted me to a YouTube playlist of quick, less than 2-minute videos that show the capabilities of diagnostics, configuration and monitoring in the DCMlink Software for electric valve actuators. DCMlink collects data from electric actuators, provides connectivity to plant level asset management systems, helps users interpret performance data, assesses health condition of devices, and optimizes maintenance activities.
Valve actuators drive the movement of valves either in on/off, modulating or control service. These actuators can be powered manually, pneumatically, hydraulically or electrically. For electric actuators, there is a great, educational YouTube series, Introduction to Valve Actuation and Electric Actuators.
In this 16:19 YouTube video, Bettis RTS Fail-Safe Quarter Turn Electric Actuator Basic Technical Overview, Emerson’s Aaron Roepke provides a product overview and demonstration of certain configuration and setup steps including user interface rotation, user interface navigation, variable speed adjustment, and mechanical fail-safe speed adjustment.
Consider the flow path of oil & gas production from the well head. The first stop is typically the production separator where the oil, gas, condensation, water, brine and other fluids and sediment get separated. Traditionally, for multi-well sites, there is a test...
The separation of oil, gas, produced water and sediments from producing oil & gas wells take place in production separators. Traditionally test separators were also installed to individually test the wells to determine their composition of these components....
For process manufacturers and producers with safety shutdown applications, local control panels are often installed to provide visibility and control actions to operators locally out in the process area. Actions can be taken at these panels to initiate an emergency...
Many techniques are used to separate impurities in fluids. One common method is to use the process of adsorption. In an online document, Control Valve Sourcebook — Chemical Unit Operations, adsorption is defined as: …a typical mass transfer operation used in process...
