Recommended LNG Process Valves, Actuators and Regulators
Selecting the proper final elements—valves, regulators, actuators—helps to enhance equipment reliability and improve LNG and regasification plants safety—ultimately driving cost savings and operational excellence.
Enhancing Safety with Advanced Pressure Relief Valve Technologies
Pressure relief valves (PRVs) are crucial for preventing unsafe overpressure conditions in production processes. Historically unmonitored, these devices now benefit from advanced monitoring solutions that transform data into actionable insights. Explore how technologies like wireless acoustic transmitters and differential pressure transmitters are revolutionizing PRV monitoring, enhancing safety, and improving regulatory reporting.
Better Understanding Compressor Surge
Process automation hall-of-fame member Greg McMillan made his book about centrifugal and axial compressor control freely available for download in PDF form.
Precise Cuts in Food Manufacturing
Emerson’s Mehdi Taki shares the secrets of precise cutting in food manufacturing processes in a Kennedy’s Confection article, Cutting Solution Offers Accurate Portion Control and Reduced Waste.
Sensing Hydrocarbon Gas Leaks and Avoiding False Alarms
The Rosemount 625IR Fixed Gas Detector uses optical absorption detection technology, and the gas detector transmits infrared light through a sapphire lens. When a gas cloud moves through the detector, the target gas wavelengths absorb some light wavelengths, reducing their energy.
Calculations for Sizing Control Valves
A Fisher brand technical paper on Valve Sizing Calculations shows the traditional and standardized calculations for properly sizing pressure regulators and valves.
Comparing Radar and Ultrasonic Level Measurement
New installations and retrofits may well consider non-contacting radar level measurement advantages in stability from changing process and environmental conditions.
Diagnosing Pressure Relief Valve Bellows Issues
Visit the Crosby J-Series Direct Spring Pressure Relief Valves page on Emerson.com for more information on dependable overpressure protection for safer and more sustainable operations.
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”.
