Reduce Fluid Flow Noise Without Pressure Drop
In this 9:51 video, Fisher WhisperTube Product Demo, Emerson’s Shelby Daniels explains in detail how this technology is a passive reactive silencer that reduces system noise across a wide range of conditions without impacting the flow capacity or process.
How Electric Actuators Aid Sustainable Mining Operations
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.
Reduce Process Noise Without Pressure Drop
The Fisher WhisperTube Modal Attenuator addresses these issues for sound suppression in pipeline and control valve applications. It has a straight-through flow geometry with an inside diameter (ID) that matches the pipe ID and is installed in place of a spool piece. It creates no additional pressure drop.
Isolation Valve Emission Reduction
Isolation valves are widely used throughout industrial plants and facilities worldwide. Though most perform well for their primary purpose of isolating one area of a process from another, many older models emit excess emissions. Regulations regarding these types of...
Duke Energy Addresses Attemperator Issues
Duke Energy’s Heat Recovery Steam Generator Engineer Eugene Eagle and Emerson Automation Solutions’ Director of Steam Conditioning Group Justin Goodwin Power Engineering article, How Duke Energy Addresses Attemperator Issues, describes the deployment of a new steam atomization attemperator design that allowed Duke to reliably and safely run their combined cycle units at very low load conditions.
Managing and Protecting Storage Tanks
At the 4C Health, Safety & Environmental Conference, Emerson’s Dean Barnes and Mo Fazl presented How to Control and Reduce Tank Vent Fugitive Emissions and Maintenance Costs and Quantify Releases Through Proper Product Selection and Remote Monitoring.
Pressure Relief Valve University at the 4C Conference
Here are notes from a detailed class on pressure relief valves (PRVs) conducted by Emerson’s Dean Barnes, Warren Booth, Ricardo Garcia, Marcio Donnangelo, Marcelo Dultra, and Mo Fazl.
The Future is Now for Predictive Valve Maintenance
Saurabh Pathak & Naman Tahan share how advances in digital valve controllers, diagnostic software & network communications are enabling significant reductions in maintenance costs & unplanned outages.
Improve Carbon Sequestration with Proper Valve Selection
In a Hydrocarbon Processing magazine, Control Valves for Carbon Sequestration Applications, Joe DeMonte and Suzanna Grills share how control valve selection for these projects can be challenging, but achievable with the right level of support.
Control Valve Modeling and Control Best AIChE Spring Meeting Paper
Greg McMillan wins best paper/presentation in his category for his Control Valve Modeling and Control entry. Here are 33 best practices that Greg shares from the paper.
Reducing Valve Emissions to Drive Sustainability Improvements
In a Fugitive Emissions Journal article, ESG Improvements Through Emissions Reduction: Issues and Opportunities, Emerson’s Bruce Ofori shares how new technology adoptions, and reviewing outdated practices and equipment retrofits, can build stakeholder confidence with respect to the reporting of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, volatile organic compounds (VOC), and hazardous air pollutants.
