Emerson’s Andrea Sutti and Massimiliano Franco join Jim Cahill in this Emerson Automation Experts podcast to discuss the role of these critical valves and actuators in the world’s largest LNG project. They share the importance of selecting and testing the actuated valves to meet the requirements of safety, isolation and control applications.
Valves, Actuators & Regulators
How to Size Compressor Anti-surge Valves
Anti-surge valves protect centrifugal compressors from potentially catastrophic damage, but they are typically grossly oversized for common operating conditions. My article in the December 2024 issue of Automation.com, titled “The Art of Compressor Anti-surge Valve...
Transitioning to Blue Hydrogen Production
As demand for hydrogen rises, steam methane reforming (SMR) and autothermal reforming (ATR) have become increasingly vital. Both SMR and ATR are typically grey hydrogen processes, meaning they release significant carbon dioxide (CO2) and other emissions. However, my...
Rugged, Reliable Valves for Sustainable Chemical Manufacturing
At the Valve World 2024 Conference, Emerson’s Knut Riegel presented Selecting Valves for Chemical Process Applications. His presentation addressed the chemical industry’s role in Germany, key principles to meet the needs of this industry, and the engineered valve solutions to address these needs.
Butterfly Valve Designs for High Performance and Long-Term Reliability
High-performance butterfly valves are a common solution for equipment isolation and other on/off applications across a wide range of chemical and petrochemical processes. My article in the November 2024 issue of Valve World, titled “Choosing butterfly valves for...
Boosting Efficiency and Safety: The Power of Digitalization in Greenfield LNG Projects Podcast
Emerson’s Riyaz Ali & Tom Mullins join podcast host Jim Cahill to share the story of an LNG producer and how they applied digitalization in their project design and installation to deliver integrated solutions to improve the project schedule and ongoing operational performance.
Control Valve Considerations in Lithium Battery Applications
In the global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lithium batteries will play a critical role in powering electric vehicles, and by providing storage to offset the variability of green energy sources, such as solar and wind. Our article in the November 2024...
Valve Services for LNG Startup and Commissioning Podcast
In this podcast, Devin Cloud with one of Emerson’s Impact Partners, John H. Carter, and their ControlWorx Premier Service Provider organization, joins podcast host Jim Cahill to discuss one very successful project in the state of Louisiana along the Gulf of Mexico.
Revolutionary Approach to Pressure Relief Valve Monitoring
In this 12-minute YouTube video, Elevating Safety & Efficiency: Emerson’s Revolutionary Approach to Pressure Relief Valve Monitoring, Emerson’s Ricardo Garcia demonstrates how this monitoring works and introduces the innovative bellows leak detection solution.
Local Control for Electrohydraulic Valve Actuators
This quick, two-minute YouTube video, Local Operation of a Bettis EHO Actuator, shows how to manually open and close a Bettis EHO actuator while the unit is in local mode
Unlocking LNG Success: How a Fisher™ JT Valve Supercharged a Main Cryogenic Heat Exchanger Podcast
Reid Youngdahl joins Jim Cahill in this 30-minute podcast to discuss how Emerson helped a major LNG producer overcome key production challenges by implementing Fisher Joule-Thomson (JT) Valves.
Material Selection is Key to Mitigate Corrosion
Generally, appropriate materials and coatings are the most important safeguards against corrosion. End users should carefully consider environmental conditions during material selection and preparation because good decisions in this stage will increase service life, uptime, and safety, while reducing costs.
