Analyzing Combustion – Looking for Leftover Oxygen
In an automation.com article, Emerson’s Jesse Sumstad and Neil Widmer explain how accurate measurement of excess oxygen in flue gas can be used to improve combustion control. These days, industrial facilities operating combustion processes face multiple concerns,...
Optimizing Combustion Processes
Emerson’s Bob Sabin works with manufacturers and producers to improve how combustion units operate. Energy costs are typically a large part of the overall operational costs for these production processes. Bob shared that many times with combustion improvement projects, people get focused on efficiency only. Often, more importantly is the reliability & availability, responsiveness, ease of operation, and ease of troubleshooting & maintenance of these units.
Innovations in Fuel Shutoff Valves
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...
Upgrading Boiler Burner Management and Combustion Control Systems
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.
Maximizing Combustion Efficiency
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:...
Air Management and Emissions 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...
Combustion Safety Valve Considerations
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...
Improve Combustion and Efficiency with Mass-based Fuel Flow Measurement
Springtime here in the Northern hemisphere means lots of industry and professional organization events. This week I've highlighted happenings from the pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing industry at Interphex 2019. Also going on this week is a gathering of...
Optimized Combustion Control without Fuel-Air Curves
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...
Reducing Project Execution Risks for Complex Analytical Systems
Real-time analyzers play an important role in many process manufacturing operations. Some examples include natural gas custody transfer, combustion efficiency monitoring, combustion emissions component analysis, flowing fluid compositional analysis and more. Not only...
Advancing Combustion Control Efficiency
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...
