In the chemical processing industries, additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have made parts production faster and less expensive, and they can be used to produce parts with more complex designs than possible with traditional manufacturing techniques.
In his presentation at the Emerson Exchange EMEA 2024 in Düsseldorf, Sven Girgensohn, E-EMC/OT E&I Engineering at BASF Personal Care & Nutrition GmbH, described how a modernized control system is supporting the need for greater flexibility and reliability of...
The chemical industry is facing a unique challenge: a need for growth along with environmental regulations that each day are becoming stricter and more urgent. Limited resources, an aging workforce, aging equipment: achieving both efficiency and sustainability can...
Loading and unloading operations for chemical producers must be performed safely, reliably, and accurately. Emerson’s Martin McDonough shares ways to mitigate risks and improve operational performance.
The term “golden batch” describes the ideal batch production against which all other produced batches are compared. I caught up with Emerson’s Martin McDonough about how this concept applies to chemical manufacturers with batch production processes.
Advanced functionality in the latest level measurement devices enables them to meet the demands of even the most challenging chemical industry applications. Increasing level measurement accuracy and reliability helps to enhance plant and worker safety while maximizing...
Advanced automation technology from Emerson is helping to solve a range of solids level measurement challenges at a large lime processing plant in the US. The need to reduce costs and increase operational efficiency is driving greater adoption of automation...
At the Oct 26-28 Emerson Exchange Asia conference, we will be discussing many more features around the Level portfolio in the presentation including topics of Functional Safety for Level Measurement including Proof Testing, Interface measurement and Reactor Level measurement specific.
More and more frequently, chemical plants are adapting new recommendations and incorporating newer processes to meet the highest safety guidelines prescribed across industries. Faced with many harsh conditions at a typical site, companies are turning to automation and upgrading their activities to simplify manual operations with more sophisticated equipment, driving greater production efficiency and safety management practices.
A series of chemical industry webinars beginning later this month on ways to drive process efficiencies and lower operational costs with Michael Machuca, Marty McDonough and Andrew Cureton.
In the news every day we see the changes in economic activity in the upstream oil & gas exploration and production business caused by the significant drop in oil prices over the past several months. But what have been the implications for downstream producers in...
In an earlier post, I mentioned a series of European Chemical Industry Wireless on-line webinars. I received a note from the team that the dates and topic focus for the rest of the 2009 webinars have been set. The intent is to show ways chemical manufacturers are...
