Over many years working with end users who are trying to solve challenging flow measurement problems, I’ve often suggested that a Coriolis mass flow meter is exactly the technology solution needed, but in some cases an alternative is preferred for a variety of...
By applying today’s improved hardware and software to process instrumentation, it is possible to collect enormous amounts of diagnostic data, providing insight into the instrument itself, but also the process in which it is installed. How this works with ultrasonic...
The modal attenuator consists of a series of carefully engineered resonant cavities to provide sound reduction across a wide spectrum of frequencies. The full-bore design allows unrestricted flow, and internal drain channels drain off condensate which could build up in the device and reduce performance. Installed just downstream of the valve, the modal attenuator achieves an overall sound reduction up to 15 dBa, while creating no restriction in flow capacity whatsoever. The device can be used on existing valves or paired with a low noise control valve to achieve even higher levels of noise reduction. Unlike diffusers or silencers, the modal attenuator works consistently across a wide range of flow rates.
The world is changing. The rising demand for more sustainable business practices mean major transformations for the oil and gas industry. Legacy technologies are getting left behind in favor of advanced solutions that support green initiatives and digital...
Downhole environments are tricky to manage and monitor – and that’s putting it mildly. Maximizing reservoir performance in the safest and most efficient way possible requires critical temperature and pressure data. In particular, visibility into well barrier integrity...
Rules and regulations in the oil and gas industry constantly change and evolve while technology advances over time. As innovators in the space, it is part of our job to ensure agencies and governmental bodies are aware of and fully comprehend the engineering and...
Constant innovation is required to meet the needs of an evolving industry. That is why we have engineered our multiphase flow meters to be on the cutting edge of flow measurement technology. That's also why we are always working on updating and improving our software...
Electromagnetic flow technology is continuously evolving, and Emerson hopes to provide transparency and understanding to installation requirements and why they matter to a user. There has been a lot of buzz lately about zero diameter (0D) inlet/outlet installations...
While advancements in software technologies can seem deceptively simple, they play a significant role in shaping the future of the industry. Digitalization may feel like a buzzword these days, but as automation and remote technologies are embraced by more...
We must marvel at the ingenuity of the first oil and gas producers to tackle subsea production – pioneers who completed the first subsea well on the ocean floor, offshore in California in 1961. Building a wellsite on the seabed invokes a whole new set of difficulties,...
In introducing our Rosemount™ 8800 Series Vortex flow meters, we’ve talked about how this technology is uniquely suited for superheated steam applications, delivering better control in these challenging environments than anything else on the market today. More...
Safety and risk reduction are both high priorities for operators in the process industry. Not only is it critical to maintain the health and safety of personnel, but past industrial incidents have caused extensive damage to nearby areas, causing harm to residents and...
