4 reasons why radar level is superior to ultrasonic level technology: Radar and ultrasonic level measurements are both widely used in industrial and environmental applications for measuring the level of liquids and solids in lift stations, tanks, and open...
A plant’s performance can be optimized at the intersection of capital equipment, production processes, and people. Done correctly from the start through the selection of technologies and how they are deployed can lead to higher levels of productivity, reliability, safety, and sustainability.
The rapid shift to more sustainable industrial operations has dramatically impacted the hydrocarbon processing industry. It seems like almost overnight, operations teams are looking at entirely new processes focused on manufacturing new, greener alternative products...
As power producers begin the shift to more renewable sources of energy, one primary concern resurfaces over and over: availability. Utilities are adding solar, wind, battery, and other renewable assets to their already wide array of power generation tools, and as they...
Driven by the need to both cut resource costs and minimize their environmental impact, companies across all industries are targeting net-zero strategies and sustainability goals. Monitoring utilities such as compressed air, water, electricity, steam and other gases...
In today’s world, it’s unusual to get to work on an urban development project that’s entirely greenfield, but Emerson is currently involved in just such a development with several product families including, quite notably, the discrete control and software solutions....
Hydrogen fuel technology has reached a stage where it is past the prototype phase, and the industry is now looking to scale up. The fuel cell market, for instance, is forecast to grow at a robust 45.3% compound annual growth rate between 2022 and 2029, with projections of a market value reaching $17.88 billion. However, the potential growth of the industry is not guaranteed. There is still much work to be done, including increasing fueling stations and reducing the cost of producing green hydrogen. To mitigate risks and help hydrogen technology mature, strong partnerships between innovators and automation experts are needed. Automation experts can help hydrogen OEMs and end-users scale up capacity to meet market demands, keep projects on time and in budget, monitor hydrogen application performance, and ensure safety in volatile environments. With the help of automation experts, the hydrogen market can scale up and make a significant contribution towards achieving ambitious climate goals.
No matter the industry, sustainability is a priority for nearly every industrial company with the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 as a corporate goal for many enterprises. More than one-third (702) of the world’s largest publicly traded companies...
The Emerson European team has published an Innovations in Automation magazine edition. This edition features technologies, software, and services that support process and manufacturing organizations worldwide in their decarbonization and environmental sustainability efforts.
The best technology often depends upon the relative size of the valve and the existence of a compressed air system. If a pressurized air system already exists, adding a few more pneumatic valves to it is likely the best choice. In a greenfield application, an all-electric actuation solution may be better option, particularly when the capital and operational cost of a new compressed air system is considered. Other drivers impacting the decision include a requirement for variable stroke/torque profiles or precise positioning, the ability to power actuators with solar power, or water-constrained environments, which raise air compressor operating costs significantly.
At the 4C Health, Safety & Environmental Conference, Emerson’s Doug White presented How to Evaluate Sustainability Options. Advanced software and advanced automation applications can help guide overall emission reduction investment decisions and support cost-effective implementations.
