New Noise Reduction Technology for Gas Pipelines
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...
Improve LNG Operations with Optimized Joule-Thomson Control Valves
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.
The Roxar Subsea Wetgas Meter Supporting Sustainability
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...
Driving Turbine Generator Efficiency Improvements
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...
Managing Natural Gas Distribution Networks Pressure and Flow Rates
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...
Application Guide for Natural Gas Pressure Regulators
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...
Meeting the Challenge of Changing Global Energy Supplies
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...
3 Companies Making Waves with Natural Gas
The growing supply of natural gas and subsequent lower prices compared to other sources of energy is causing companies to consider it as a fuel source. Arielle Nagel, who is pursuing her Master's of Science in Environmental Sustainability, provides several examples in...
Solar Power-Will New Technology Provide a Breakthrough?
Plentiful shale gas changes the economics around electricity production. Emerson's Douglas Morris, a member of the alternative energy industry team, explores recent advancements in solar power technology in light of these economics. Ever bring up the topic of solar...
Another Alternative to Crude Oil
Gas-to-liquids technology continues to advance notes Emerson's Alan Novak, leader of the alternative energy industry team, in today's guest post. In previous posts we discussed the emerging technology of gas to liquids (GTL) driven by the vast shale gas reserves being...
AIChE Fuels and Petrochemicals Division Update
I caught up with Emerson's Tim Olsen, Chair of the AIChE Fuels and Petrochemicals Division (F&PD), to get an update of the work of this division. For those unfamiliar with this group, the AIChE's F&PD: …was established to further the application of chemical...
