Valves, Actuators & Regulators
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Emissions Reduction: Issues and Opportunities, Emerson’s Bruce Ofori shares how new technology adoptions, and reviewing outdated practices and equipment retrofits, can build stakeholder confidence with respect to the reporting of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, volatile organic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.
Optimizing Valve Compressed Air Consumption
For air-operated control valves, the pneumatic power at a constant supply pressure is proportional to the mass flow rate of instrument air. The pneumatic/eletro-pneumatic/microprocessor-based digital valve controller is used on most control valves operated in closed-loop control, where the input signal is continuously changing.
Connecting with Experts in the Spring Event Season
March 12-16, is a face-to-face meeting in Houston, Texas, the 2023 Spring Meeting and 19th Global Congress on Process Safety. Some of the Emerson presenters and topics include: Jacob Tardoni—Mapping an Evacuation in Real-Time: Digital Mustering with Wireless Personnel Location Technology; Greg McMillan—Best Practices in Column Control Distilled, and Control Valve Response Modeling and Control.
Pick the Right Control Valves for Ethylene Service
In a Hydrocarbon Engineering article, Control Valve Selection for Ethylene Plants, Matthew Wagner describes how to choose the right combination of valve style, trim type, materials of construction, and digital positioners for critical valve application in an ethylene unit.
The Hydrogen Economy
The adoption of hydrogen as a green energy resource has been developing for decades, and it is now accelerating as the stage has been set for the gas to play a prime role to meet the world’s environmental, social, and governance goals.
Additive Manufacturing the Fisher Cavitrol Hex Trim–The Cool Parts Show
The Cool Parts Show’s episode, 3D Printed Valve Part Helps Prevent Cavitation, explains cavitation and its damaging effects on the surrounding process, how the Fisher Cavitrol Hex Trim helps mitigate cavitation, and the additive manufacturing process to create this ball valve component.
Simplifying Safety Valve Installation and Maintenance
In a Hydrocarbon Processing article, “Simplifying Safety Valve Installation and Maintenance”, Kurtis Jensen & Lura Parrent highlight new technologies on how to simplify safety valve installations while improving performance and reliability.
