Widely used boilers in industrial applications require safety shutdown technology to bring them to a safe state in abnormal conditions. Fuel line lines require safety shutdown valves to stop the flow of combustion fuel. In a Today's Boiler article, New Shutoff Valve...
The Emerson Industrial Energy consulting team assisted a Northeastern U.S. specialty chemical manufacturer with modernizing the controls on two 1960’s vintage Combustion Engineering “D” Type process steam boilers.
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:...
Emerson's James Bare shared how effective process control and tuning improves combustion air management and improves overall emissions control at the 2019 Ovation Users' Group conference. James opened describing different types of boilers and their operation in...
Process manufacturers who required heating as part of the process may have several different types of industrial heating equipment. These may include boilers, dryers, furnaces, heaters, ovens, dehydrators and more. The use and upkeep of this equipment is governed by a...
At the 2018 Emerson Exchange conference, Emerson's Bob Sabin and Scott Pettigrew presented, Combustion Control Optimized with Patented Control Configuration. Bob opened describing the Emerson Industrial Energy Consulting group and how they work with manufacturers and...
Controlling industrial combustion-based units such as boilers, heaters and furnace has historically relied on the use of fuel-to-air curves. These curves represent the amount of fuel and air required for a given load. In this 4:28 video, Patented Combustion Solution...
Mono-nitrogen oxides (NOx) including NO and NO2 are byproducts of combustion where it occurs in the presence of nitrogen. Since the composition of the atmosphere is 78% nitrogen, this would include most places where this combustion occurs. These NOx gases: …react to...
While the cost of energy has dropped recently, the need for efficient combustion remains important due to its impact on emissions, plant equipment fouling, and the reliability of the process. Emerson's Bob Sabin is featured in a series of new videos posted on the...
My YouTube subscription feed alerted me to a new pair of YouTube videos from Emerson's Micro Motion brand team-- Filling with Coriolis and Combustion Control with Coriolis. These videos were created at the Emerson Exchange conference this past October. They are good...
The trend for process manufacturers to globalize production over the last few decades has created large distances between production and consumption, and increased the need for shipping to close these distances. The Lloyd's Register blog shares in a post, Heavy fuel...
Back in January, I shared some thoughts from Emerson's Doug Simmers on improving combustion in a post, Optimum Combustion for Reduced Greenhouse Emissions. He'll be presenting later this year on flue gas analysis and I was able to get my hands on a rough draft. I'll...
