When is a SIL Suitability Rating Required for Final Control Elements?
Riyaz Ali provides clarity on when to assign the SIL suitability for valves used in different scenarios (process control vs. safety shutdown) and establish criteria to assign SIL applicability for the “Final Element”.
Adopting New Tailings Standards for Mine Sustainability Podcast
In this podcast, Emerson’s Steve Brewer joins me to discuss some of the challenges in addressing these requirements and the role of valve technology in operating successfully.
Supercritical Control Valve Selection
Supercritical fluids are often found in carbon capture, ethylene, and hydrogen refining processes, and they pose unique equipment selection challenges, particularly for control valves. Our article on pages 45-50 in the February issue of Hydrocarbon Engineering, titled...
Hydrogen, Helium and High-Pressure Gas Pressure Relief Valve
The Anderson Greenwood Type 84 valves delivers leak-tight service at very high pressures for hydrogen storage, transport, refueling stations, and other high-pressure gas applications.
How To Assemble and Disassemble High Pressure Isolation Valve
The 3:43 YouTube video, Sempell VA400 High Pressure Isolation Valves – Assembly and Disassembly, shows an animated step-by-step illustration of the disassembly and reassembly of the valve using the VA400 seat ring extraction tool.
Selecting a Valve Positioner for Performance and Savings
LNG facilities and pipelines rely on valve positioners to provide precise and reliable flow control. My article in the January 2025 issue of LNG Industry on pages 35-38, titled “Wise Valve Selection Improves Performance,” discusses key features of modern...
Maximizing Reliability with Emerson’s “The Big Three” Diagnostics in Digital Valve Controllers

Engineering Superior Valve Solutions for the World’s Largest LNG Project Podcast
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.
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...
