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...
Achieving Improved Combustion Control for Fired Heaters is Easy, Right?
Control the Mass Flow of Fuel Gas with Coriolis Meters When you can control processes in refineries and petrochemical plants, you can better control the revenue generated by those facilities. The heat from fired heaters drives those processes, generating the steam for...
Optimizing Ammonia Usage in NOx Emission Reduction Processes
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...
Managing Efficient Combustion
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...
Controlling Combustion of Hydrogen Fuel Mixtures
Hydrogen is a great, clean-burning fuel source. Just look at its combustion equation: 2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O + Heat Water and heat are created from the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen. I mention all this because Emerson's Andrew Verdouw had the opportunity to be the...
Embedded Advanced Control Innovations Lead to ISA Fellow Recognition
If you're going to ISA Automation Week September 24-27, 2012 in Orlando, Florida, make sure to say hi to one of ISA's newest Fellows, Emerson's Jeffery Williams. Jeff is being honored for his contributions in the development of embedded advanced control for use on...
Coriolis Measurement in Filling and Combustion Applications
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...
Optimizing Combustion Performance
I saw a tweet from Control magazine editor-in-chief Walt Boyes, which alerted me to a presentation that I needed to get my hands on. Emerson's Bob Sabin, a member of the industrial energy team, was kind enough to provide me a copy. You may recall Bob from several...
