Pressure regulators are one of many
components evolving to meet modern
manufacturing’s demand for digitalization. By integrating digitized components and working toward complete
digitalization of the entire process,
manufacturers can monitor and control
operations in real time and respond to
issues before they slow down production or compromise quality
Valves, Actuators & Regulators
Reducing Emissions from Vessels, Valves, and other Equipment
Marcel Dultra, Dan Myers, and Emily Thomas of Emerson recently published an article in the September 2022 issue of Valve World Americas. It is titled “Greening Process Equipment One Device at a Time” and it discusses a host of recently introduced technologies designed to significantly reduce emissions.
Innovation in Controlling Exothermic Reactions in Biodiesel Processing
Emerson Impact Partner Applied Control’s Julia Imhoff and Miranda Hunter teamed with Renaissance Technologies’ Terry Wilford to discuss a novel way to avoid catalyst damage for a highly exothermic reaction.
Innovative Rotary Valve Trim for Severe Service Conditions
Emerson’s Justin Lannin and Vinson Process Controls’ Mike Stinn teamed up to present, Hex & The City: Ponca City Refinery Reduces Maintenance with Fisher Cavitrol Hex, at the 2022 Emerson Exchange conference.
Reduce Waste & Increase Efficiency in Clean-in-Place Processes
While the idea of adding costs to a food and beverage or pharmaceutical industry process like Clean-in-Place/Steam-in-Place (CIP/SIP) has not traditionally been an easy decision, in today’s industrial environment that has changed. With the retirement of experts, the...
Role of Intelligent Electric Valve Actuators in Digital Transformation
In a Process Industry Informer article, Flow Control – The Current State of Industrial Digital Transformation and a Look to the Future, Emerson’s Knut Riegel highlights the challenge of lacking predictive maintenance information.
Avoiding Actuator Damage from Failed Components
Riyaz Ali discussed with a major international oil company ways to eliminate supply line relief valves or needs for higher pressure-rated actuators should the air filter regulator (AFR) fail.
Partial Stroke Tests and Diagnostics for Emergency Shutdown Valves
This 2:22 YouTube video, Emerson TopWorx DX PST with HART 7, explains how this partial stroke and emergency shutdown valve controller controls and monitors these shutdown valves. To test the capability of the valve to perform its safety action, the valve controller can partially stroke the valve that maintains its open or closed position for an extended time.
Actuation Solutions for Constrained Spaces
Milan Rakita’s “Why Compact Actuation Solutions are Ideal for Constrained Space Installations” article discusses how a vertical profile actuator is providing new opportunities for space-constrained applications.
Clarifying Rebuilds to Extend Valve Lifespans
I received a question from an earlier post, End of Life Expectancy for Final Control Elements in Safety and Control Systems, by Emerson’s Riyaz Ali. The instrument & control engineer who came upon the blog post wrote…
Driving Combined Cycle Efficiency Gains
At the October 24-28, 2022 Emerson Exchange conference in the Dallas, Texas area, Emerson’s Justin Goodwin will co-present Steam-Atomized Attemperation: Duke Energy Hot Reheat Attemperator Successes.
Control Valves in Safety Instrumented Functions
When is it possible to use control valves like final elements for SIS [safety instrumented system] application? I am looking for other useful documents and technical requirements when it is possible to use only control valves as the final element instead of on/off valves and not in combination with it in the SIF [safety instrumented function] application.
