Standardizing instrumentation is one of the most effective ways to reduce risk in natural‑gas power projects. Selecting a single main instrumentation vendor (level, pressure, flow, analytics, and safety) creates consistent engineering standards and streamlines design,...
As the world seeks alternative fuel sources to increase sustainability, many companies are pursuing hydrogen as a potential candidate. The capabilities of hydrogen continue to show more and more promise, and it is becoming increasingly important to consider how it...
Hydrogen is crucial for the European Union's energy transition, but to meet its targets, the industry needs to scale up production quickly and ensure there is the necessary infrastructure in place to provide transportation and distribution. The existing natural gas...
With the new energy economy come big changes. We all know that energy sources can’t change overnight, so more and more producers and transporters—including those in natural gas—are looking closely at blending as a transitional technology. Today, much of the talk...
As countries around the globe transition from fossil to renewables, the success of that transition will pivot on a reliable supply of natural gas. But an increase in demand coupled with changing global events has made the liquefied natural gas (LNG) markets more...
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...
Control valves in liquified natural gas applications must operate reliably under high pressure and cryogenic temperatures to achieve gas separation and liquification. This is especially true for the main cryogenic heat exchanger (MCHE), where the closely-coupled Joule-Thomson (J-T) control valves feeding the MCHE help optimize operation of the most critical area in the entire process.
Natural gas plays a significant role in the global shift toward net zero emissions. Since 2010, switching from coal to natural gas has saved 500 million metric tons of CO2, and billions of people rely on it for heat and power around the world. Because natural gas is a...
A combination of more plentiful natural gas from shale formations, more global liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities to transport it globally, and global political pressure to reduce carbon emissions has been shifting the mix of fuel sources for electrical power...
The role of natural gas in the global energy mix continues to expand as it displaces coal and nuclear power as a baseload source of energy for electrical power generation. It is also an energy source for heating and cooking in many homes. Emerson's Sergio Pasquali...
I saw on my LinkedIn home page that my friends who manage Fisher Regulators have released the Natural Gas Technologies Application Guide – Edition VII, which is now available online in eBook format… very nice! This application guide is designed to help you quickly and...
This post originally appeared over at the Emerson South Korean blog earlier today to celebrate the 200th translated Emerson Process Experts post shared with process manufacturers in South Korea. Thanks to the South Korean Emerson team for their efforts in bringing...
