High-Performance Butterfly Valve Designs
High-performance butterfly valves play a key role in equipment operation, isolation, and maintenance throughout the chemical and petrochemical industries. Crucial design features dramatically impact the performance and reliability of these valves, as discussed in my...
Overcoming Fugitive Emissions in Isolation Valves
Emerson’s Horst Balau presented Solving the Fugitive Emission Challenge for Isolation Valves at the 2024 Emerson Exchange Conference in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Detecting Bellows Damage in Pressure Relief Valves
Pressure relief valves (PRVs) provide critical overpressure protection in many industries by venting excess process media when necessary. PRVs often include bellows in applications with relief valve headers subject to backpressure, but bellows may be damaged by cycling or corrosive chemical applications, causing significant performance impacts and environmental leakage that may go unnoticed for years.
Improving Maintenance and Monitoring to Advance Sustainability Programs
Steps to improve sustainability in chemical processing plants can often begin with strategic maintenance efforts. Here are places to start.
Reducing Valve Emissions to Drive Sustainability Improvements
In a Fugitive Emissions Journal article, ESG Improvements Through Emissions Reduction: Issues and Opportunities, Emerson’s Bruce Ofori shares how new technology adoptions, and reviewing outdated practices and equipment retrofits, can build stakeholder confidence with respect to the reporting of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, volatile organic compounds (VOC), and hazardous air pollutants.
Identifying and Minimizing Fugitive Emissions from Control Valves
Control Valves would control ideally the process without any interface to the outside. Although, that’s not practical with today’s technology. Control valves are by design an interface between the process and the outside. This interface can cause some level of...
Reducing Emissions from Vessels, Valves, and other Equipment
Marcel Dultra, Dan Myers, and Emily Thomas of Emerson recently published an article in the September 2022 issue of Valve World Americas. It is titled “Greening Process Equipment One Device at a Time” and it discusses a host of recently introduced technologies designed to significantly reduce emissions.
Valve Packing Selection for Fugitive Emissions Reduction
In a Processing article, Simplifying control valve packing selection, Emerson’s Sarah Witte and Wade Helfer highlight the importance of valve packing selection for more sustainable production.
Reducing Emissions in Your Sustainability Strategy
Aurélien Tissot joins podcast host Jim Cahill in this Emerson Automation Experts podcast to discuss the topic of emissions and the technology opportunities for manufacturers and producers.
Driving to Zero Emissions with ECAT Valve Actuation Technology
In a Control Engineering magazine article, New hydraulic actuator designs offer zero emission options, Emerson’s John Carroll highlights new actuator designs that eliminate these emissions.
How to Select Valves for Molecular Sieve Switching Applications
How to Select Valves for Molecular Sieve Switching Applications article in Plant Services describes the unique and difficult challenges associated with molecular sieve switching valves and the new valve options available to address these issues.
