Flare systems must handle many possible emergencies, and each scenario drives decisions on valve sizes, header diameters, knockout drum capacity, and materials of construction. When relief loads are estimated without accounting for how the process actually responds during an upset, safety equipment tends to be overdesigned, which raises capital expenditures (CAPEX).
A Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News article, Beyond Process Development: AI Reshaping Use of Digital Twins, highlights the evolving use of digital twin technology in the Life Sciences industry.
It has been interesting to watch the recent shift in the attitude toward simulation technologies over the last five or so years. What used to be a “nice to have” add on to a capital project has become, for many organizations, a go-to technology for business success....
Emerson’s Corey Moniot presents the Ovation Curation Tool–Maintain Control of Your Simulation at the 2024 Ovation User Group Conference.
In an Intech article, Digital Twins for the Virtual Plant, recently retired from Emerson’s Greg McMillan shares how this improved performance is possible.
Today, it’s not only the public calling for more sustainability commitment from industry. In many cases, investors are increasing their interest in companies’ sustainability plans as well, leading more and more organizations to make very public commitments to reaching...
Simulation and digital twin technology has a wide variety of uses that plants can leverage for faster projects and better operations. Recently, Chemical Processing magazine took a deeper dive into those uses, interviewing industry experts such as Emerson’s own Dustin...
Anyone paying attention to power—and probably even those who aren’t—are well aware that the way electricity is generated and delivered is rapidly changing. While the traditional combined cycle power facilities on the generation side we have come to depend on will be...
Some of the most exciting advancements in automation software and analytics are happening in simulation. As Monil Malhotra recently shared in an interview with Jim Montague at Control magazine, data analytics are everywhere, and the information we pull from that data...
In the last five years, simulation technologies have been a critical tool used to drive digital transformation of automated processes. In simulated environments, organizations can provide comprehensive training for personnel and test new control configurations without...
Industrial manufacturers have long known that operators can be quickly overwhelmed when overloaded with data at the console. Critical solutions such as alarm management and intuitive interfaces have been developed and redeveloped over the years to combat this threat...
