Large-scale solar and wind energy projects play a key role in meeting the global demand for renewable energy, but effective energy storage solutions are needed to provide consistent electricity during cloudy or dark hours, and during windless periods. Hydrogen...
Commissioning and startup of a large process plant is often a difficult task, with hundreds, if not thousands, of workers scrambling to complete their assigned tasks. Amid this chaos, valves and critical accessories are commonly misplaced, damaged, or installed incorrectly, increasing costs and causing production delays.
Control valves are critical in the applications within the ammonia production process. Some applications are severe services that could cause challenges to the valve operation, impacting the process efficiency and may disrupt the production or even damage the equipment.
At the Valve World 2024 Conference, Emerson’s Knut Riegel presented Selecting Valves for Chemical Process Applications. His presentation addressed the chemical industry’s role in Germany, key principles to meet the needs of this industry, and the engineered valve solutions to address these needs.
During the Emerson Exchange EMEA 2024 in Düsseldorf, Stefano de Cillis, CTO at Proton Ventures, provided a presentation focused on the storage and handling of ammonia, including its decomposition back into hydrogen. Proton Ventures develops green projects and...
Welcome to our latest blog post. This time, we focus on common control valve repairing reasons businesses have and why successful ones have chosen to invest in proactive maintenance programs for control valves. As we dive deeper into the topic, we explore professional...
Hesham Sewaify presented Valve Standardization—Saving money without spending it at the 2024 Emerson Exchange Conference
During the Emerson Exchange EMEA 2024, Chand Basha Chittoor, staff engineer E&A at the SABIC Centre of Excellence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, informed delegates how the company optimized turnaround planning and execution using control valve diagnostics.
As climate change progresses, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), is critical. Spurred by government subsidies and mandates, CO2 sequestration projects are underway across the globe. My December 2023 Automation.com article,...
In a world awash with digital data, many tend to assume that more data equals more value, but the reality is that data only becomes valuable when it is analyzed and acted upon. In my article titled “Transforming Valve Data into Dollars,” published to Automation.com in November 2023, I discuss a new software application that converts raw control valve data into actionable information.
Here’s a brief 1:40 YouTube video, Treating control valve noise with Fisher Whisper technology, that shares how the bar continues to be raised for control valve noise reduction by reducing sound pressure levels to a manageable level with Fisher Whisper technology. More innovations to come!
Turbine bypass valves are subject to frequent thermal cycles, high pressure drops, and the need for tight shut off. My article in the May 2023 issue of Power, titled "Turbine Bypass Valve Challenges,” provides methods of inspection to prevent their failure. Surviving...
