Measuring Liquefied Natural Gas
The autumn season ramps up with several process automation and industry conferences, including our September 30-October 4 Emerson Exchange event to be held in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area. I received word of another conference, the Metrology for LNG Conference,...
Onshore LNG Tank Gauging Measurement and Management
As the supply of natural gas continues to swell in parts of the world, the economics to transport this gas to lower supply areas is driving the project planning for liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities. One only has to do Google News search on LNG to see all the...
LNG Fuel Custody Transfer for Marine Vessels
In earlier posts, we've highlighted the use of bunker fuel for marine vessels. With the global trend for increased supplies and decreased costs of natural gas and tightening environmental regulations, marine transportation companies are looking at cleaner burning...
Making Advanced Process Control Practical
It's human nature to operate within a comfort zone. For plant operators, where the stakes are incredibly high, it means operating away from constraint limits. Unfortunately, to maximize the performance of the process, it means to get as close to the limits as you can...
Natural Gas as a Transportation Fuel
Natural gas has been used as a transportation fuel for many years in world areas such as Europe. With the differential in energy costs between natural gas and refined hydrocarbons, it's being piloted and considered for use in other world areas such as North America. A...
Optimizing LNG Plant Projects and Process Operations
While the energy markets continue to adjust to the growing supplies of natural gas through increasing shale gas production, project and operational goals around shorter schedules, faster startups, and maximized production rates remain constant. I caught up with...
Liquefied Natural Gas Measurement Challenges
When your company ships its products to your customers, wouldn't you like to be able to shrink the volume 600 times to save on shipping costs? If you're in the business of liquefied natural gas (LNG), that's exactly what you do. And, with the increasing production of...
A Global View of The Natural Gas Market
The availability of natural gas from shale formations is impacting many sectors of the process manufacturing marketplace including alternative energy, oil & gas, electrical power generation, and petrochemicals to name a few. It is even impacting the availability...
Compressed Natural Gas and Liquefied Natural Gas in China
I heard from Emerson's Major Chu, who writes the Chinese-language Emerson Flow blog, about a recently published Asian NGV Communications article, East meets West-Three leading CNG/LNG stakeholders met in China (page 31). The article highlights the "three giants of the...
Natural Gas as an Alternative Fuel
With the ever-increasing supply of natural gas in the U.S., Emerson's Alan Novak, leader of the alternative energy industry team, highlights some activity on the demand side. In previous posts, we have examined the changing dynamics of the global energy supply. New...
The Booming Western Australian Frontier
I saw the news in the Australian business publication, Financial Review, Emerson wins $67m boom town contract. The article highlights an order: …to supply control valves and valve actuators to regulate gas flow at Western Australia's massive Gorgon liquefied natural...
