Amine units are critical components in refineries and gas processing plants, removing acidic contaminants like H2S and CO2 from process streams. However, these units are particularly vulnerable to corrosion, which can lead to costly shutdowns and safety risks. Let's...
When it’s time to repaint the ironwork of a bridge or building, what’s the best way to strip away old paint and rust? Sandblasting is usually the first choice because it is very effective at eroding surface crud and getting down to clean metal, but if it continues too...
At the 2024 4C Health, Safety & Environmental Conference, 4C Marketplace’s Steve Probst and Emerson’s Marcio Donnangelo presented Flare Headers Non-Intrusive Technologies.
When we talk about renewable fuels to the general public, many might imagine cars running on gasoline made from wildflowers and meadow grass. However, those who work in the industry recognize that the fats and oils used to make renewable diesel can be just about...

At the 2024 4C Health, Safety & Environmental Conference, Emerson’s Justin Vasquez shared a presentation, Enhancing Safety, Profitability, and Sustainability through Wireless Corrosion Monitoring: A Focus on Reliability with Non-Intrusive Monitoring Devices.
Imagine that you’re called into your plant to solve a recurring problem. The operator states: “We’ve had to replace this valve three times this year due to failures from over pressure.” Your first question is pretty obvious: “How high is the pressure?” The operator...
In a 4C Health, Safety & Environmental Conference presentation, Corrosion & Erosion Relates to 56% of Losses with Piping. Overcoming These Challenges While Increasing Carbon Capture., Emerson’s Justin Vasquez described the challenges and solutions to address these conditions.
Wireless non-intrusive corrosion monitoring technology can reliably be used to detect localised metal loss, which offers early detection of corrosion or erosion events as well as validation that mitigation strategies are adequately controlling corrosion and erosion.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) or utilization (CCU) of captured carbon dioxide (CO2) are tools for reducing global carbon emissions, but with new technologies come new challenges. Learn about potential risks with CCS and CCU, and how they could be mitigated using modern sensor technology.
Monitoring corrosion risk provides early warnings to process conditions that may harm plant assets, allowing for better and faster mitigation responses. At the same time, it provides valuable data to optimize process parameters and support feedstock management.
As a complimentary technique to manual inspection methods, wireless corrosion monitoring can greatly enhance visibility into plant and asset health while also keeping personnel out of hazardous areas. In order to drive a plant to its maximum capability, operators must continuously monitor its corrosion risk in real time.
