8 Pressure Has Always Been a Hidden Challenge in Coriolis Measurement Coriolis flow meters are widely recognized as one of the most accurate technologies for measuring mass flow and density. However, in high-pressure applications, process pressure can influence the...
Emerson’s Mark Nixon has collaborated with Flint Hills Resources’ Ike Brackin and COP founder and Chief Human Factors Engineer at Beville, Dave Strobhar, on a new book titled Data-to-Information Handbook: Building Effective Display Systems for Refining Processes.
For decades, calibration facilities have relied on turbine meters as the reference standard for high-pressure gas measurement. Their repeatability made them the trusted backbone of custody transfer calibration where measurement accuracy directly impacts financial...
Emerson’s Tim Olsen pointed me to a great PTQ article, Operator performance advances enable safer operations, that he and User Centered Design Service’s David Lee wrote.
I examined some of the process automation hall of fame member Greg McMillan’s writings for the recommendations he has provided over the years to address boiler drum level control challenges.
The angular coordinate method allows to simplify the multi-level operation of the compressor to a one-dimensional visualization of the safe operating zone, presenting it as a direct comparison of the process variable with the set value, which is the most common and convenient practice for plant operators monitoring processes in the DCS.
A PID-based control strategy can manage surge margin by using feedforward signals from flow, pressure, or compressor speed fluctuations.
Process automation hall-of-fame member Greg McMillan made his book about centrifugal and axial compressor control freely available for download in PDF form.
Only about 9% of the world’s plastic waste is recycled, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Many post-consumer plastics are considered unrecyclable via traditional mechanical methods and end up in landfills, get incinerated,...
A fascinating ControlGlobal.com article compares performance between Smith predictor & deadtime-compensated PID in lag-dominant processes.
Emerson’s Jonas Berge has a library of LinkedIn articles that are well worth an automation professional’s time to visit and read. To give you a flavor, here are the titles of his five most recent articles: Automation Intensity – How to Elevate Your Plant’s Level...
Emerson’s Vicky Athanasiou presents Prevent LNG Tank Stratification and Rollover Events through Operator Training at the AspenTech Optimize 24 conference.
