Earlier this week, the Valve World Americas Expo & Conference convened in Houston, Texas. This gathering provides an opportunity for flow control industry professionals to share experiences, insights and to collaborate to resolve common challenges. Emerson's Dr....
The mission of this blog has always been to bring the experts around Emerson to you. Many of these folks also share their expertise in our Emerson Exchange 365 global user community and with LinkedIn posts. I'll highlight an example I saw today. Emerson's Rossella...
In current times where oil supply exceeds demand, storage tanks are filling. A recent Reuters article, Oil glut up close: How Cushing copes with full crude tanks notes: There may be no better place to witness what a world awash in crude looks like, and the 9...
Managing pressures are a large part of the control strategies for upstream oil and gas applications. These pressures include those in the main processing lines, fuel lines and vapor spaces found in storage tanks. Emerson's Thomas Weyer shared a new pressure regulator...
For process manufacturers and producers, regulating pressure throughout the process is important for safety, efficiency and reliability. We've highlighted the important role of pressure regulators in numerous posts. During the front end engineering design phase of a...
Fuel gas drives the boilers, fired heaters, generators, compressors and more in many process manufacturing and production operations. Accurately controlling fuel gas pressure is important for optimum combustion and overall energy efficiency. I received a draft of an...
Offshore oil and gas producers use hydraulic power to operate much of their subsea equipment. This equipment includes valves, cylinders, motors, manifolds, blowout preventers and remote operated vehicles to name a few. Pressure regulators in Hydraulic Power Units...
In oil and gas production and transportation, managing temperature and pressure is critical for safe and efficient operations. In a whitepaper, The Significance of Reliable Pressure Control in Oilfield Burner Systems, Emerson's Deepak Sivanandan describes the...
Controlling the pressure levels is one of the challenges many instrumentation and automation engineers face. Pressure regulators are often used for this task, since they are self-regulating and don't require a control loop connected to the plant distributed control...
Let's close the week with peek into the labs where pressure regulator and relief valve testing is done. In this 4:21 second YouTube video, Emerson Lab Overview, the team managing the lines of regulator technologies provide a look at the test labs and share examples of...
Managing pressure is a fundamental control challenge for most process manufacturers and producers. A frequent question is whether a pressure regulator or control valve is best for a particular application. At last fall's Emerson Exchange, I live-blogged a great...
In March of 2014, API Standard 2000 (Venting Atmospheric and Low-Pressure Storage Tanks), 7th edition was released. In a whitepaper, Sizing Tank Blanketing Regulators Using the Latest API 2000 7th Edition Guidelines, Emerson's Steve S. Attri describes how the latest...
