Valve controllers play a vital role in industrial processes, ensuring that control valves are positioned accurately under changing process conditions. Building upon fifty years of valve controller improvements, the new Fisher™ FIELDVUE™ DVC7K digital valve controller...
New Noise Reduction Technology for Gas Pipelines
Natural gas pipelines tend to produce loud noise as gas flows through pressure regulating valves. This is usually not a problem in isolated locations, but when neighborhoods develop or expand nearby, it becomes a pressing issue. Our article in the January 2024 issue...
Power Industry Valve Application Video Series
Valves are critical in many power industry applications such as boiler feedwater & recirculation, superheat attemperation, turbine bypass, and more. In this YouTube Fisher Valves & Instruments Power Industry Application Series, you can learn about the role...
Control Valve Challenges in Carbon Dioxide Transport and Sequestration
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,...
Gain Asset Health Insights with Emerson’s Digital Valve Controller
Control and on-off valves carry out critical functions in process plants and facilities worldwide, so their performance and condition must be closely monitored. New digital valve controllers provide this functionality, along with other tasks, improving the operation and uptime of these valves. These controllers also enable optimization of maintenance activities by predicting failures well in advance, allowing for proactive instead of reactive actions.
Pneumatic Controllers Revived by Flexible, Configurable, Digital Process Controller
Emerson’s Fisher Instruments has been producing its Wizard pneumatic controllers since the 1940s, refining and revamping them every 20 years or so. Along the way, the company produced its electro-pneumatic controllers, and more recently developed its Fisher™ FIELDVUE™ digital pneumatic controllers (DPC). In all, Emerson estimates there are more than 1 million of its pneumatic controllers presently operating.
Improving Performance with Digital On-Off Valves
I’ve often written about how digital valve controllers improve control valve performance and ongoing maintenance. But how about on-off valves? In this Valve World Americas featured story, How Digitized On-Off Valves Improve Operations, Emerson’s Riyaz Ali explains how...
Continuing Innovations in Control Valve Noise Reduction
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!
Unique Challenges for SAF Control Valves
Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a renewable alternative to the fossil fuels that have historically powered most aircraft. Compared to conventional fuel production, SAF production poses particular challenges for control valves. Below is a summary of our article in...
