Emerson's Burcu Karakulak and Norbert Nagy shared a story on how diagnostics from IEC 62591 WirelessHART devices helped avoid compressor spurious shutdowns. Their abstract:...compressors in their facilities... compressors have 3 stages where dP flow is measured at...
Over on the Tank World blog is an interview with Emerson's Rajagopal Kittu, a tank gauging product manager in the Middle East region. Rajagopal was asked about the wireless technologies be used within terminals. He shared an example, valve position indication for...
March 7 is fast approaching if you want to get the 200 Euro discount to the April 1-3 Emerson Exchange conference in Stuttgart, Germany. One of the presentations you'll want to catch is on the implications of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive. Emerson's Steve Offer...
Sources of energy supply and shifts in demand increase the need for storage capacity to reduce imbalances. According to Industrial Info Resources: Oil & gas storage terminals for both imports and exports are springing up throughout the world as North America...
In an earlier post, Broadcast Range of WirelessHART Transmitters, Craig Abbott provided some technical considerations for a wireless field device network. I wanted to bring extra visibility to a comment from Emerson's Jonas Berge, whom you may recall from earlier...
Emerson's Craig Abbott provides some technical considerations for your IEC 62591 WirelessHART field device network. A frequently asked question about the WirelessHART 2.4GHz radio network is "How far can these devices transmit?" Depending on local units of...
Control systems provide signals to control valves to regulate their position per the requirements of the control strategy. It is good engineering practice, especially for critical control valves to have valve travel feedback from independent devices such as position...
As wireless technology continues to be used in process manufacturing facilities, those used in control applications are increasing. At the ISA Automation Week conference, Emerson's Terry Blevins, Mark Nixon, and Marty Zielinski authored the paper, Using Wireless...
Emerson's Craig Abbott provides the analogy of your car's fuel gauge to think about how to manage your plant assets. If you asked a large group of people “How often do you refuel your car?” almost certainly the response would not be as simple as “every Monday...
Many process manufacturing, oil & gas processing, and other industrial processes were designed in an era of inexpensive energy. This has not been the case for many years now. Emerson's Danny Vandeput has written a South African Instrument and Control article,...
As hydrocarbons and other fluid-based products change ownership through the value chain, accurate measurement and accounting is critical. We have discussed this custody transfer process in several posts. In an Oilfield Technology article, Fiscal Assurance, Emerson's...
Water supply service providers require many measurements to ensure safe, contaminant-free, and high quality water. Some important measurements include pH, Oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), conductivity, temperature, free chlorine, monochloramine, dissolved oxygen...
