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...
If there is one word to describe the kickoff to Emerson Exchange EMEA 2024, it would be Boundless. Attendees have a front row seat to Emerson’s Boundless Automation™ vision and actionable strategy for a modern industrial computing environment – and boundless...
4 reasons why radar level is superior to ultrasonic level technology: Radar and ultrasonic level measurements are both widely used in industrial and environmental applications for measuring the level of liquids and solids in lift stations, tanks, and open...
At the 2023 4C Health, Safety & Environmental Conference, Emerson’s Lara Rabbath presented Decarbonization with Steam Methane Reforming for Blue Hydrogen Production.
The Bellows Leak Detection solution is a safer and more efficient method for detecting bellows failures and emissions. It consists of a backup piston and a Rosemount™ wireless or wired pressure transmitter.
I caught a presentation by Ana Gonzalez Hernandez, who is leading Emerson’s Environmental Sustainability programs globally across Emerson. She opened noting some of the key characteristics of this promising decarbonization solution: hydrogen is the most abundant molecule in the universe, it is the lightest element and so has low energy density per unit volume; it is a non-toxic, non-metallic, odorless, colorless and a highly combustible diatomic gas.
In the Google translation of the article, Energy carriers of the future: How companies benefit from hydrogen, Emerson’s Jörg Brahm notes there are challenges to overcome for widespread use as an energy source.
Emerson’s measurement instrumentation portfolio applies industry expertise and innovative solutions to food & beverage manufacturers’ business challenges.
Let's end this short week for the United States of America's 4th of July Independence Day holiday with an educational video from Emerson's Fisher Valves & Instruments YouTube channel. The video, Control Valve Sizing Basics: What is Pressure Drop?, describes what...
Given the possible harm to the equipment, a special surge prevention algorithm is required to efficiently protect the compressor. The controller response time also must be higher than for majority of other control loops. The Emerson DeltaV PK controller is a good example of fast-acting controller for compressor antisurge control.
The Drive Gain diagnostic value that a Micro Motion Coriolis meter from Emerson reports is a very good indicator of when there is gas vapor in the oil leg. That is why is it important to monitor, because it can tell you very definitively if the oil leg on your separator is experiencing gas carry-under.
Peer-to-peer knowledge sharing provides valuable information beyond what is possible to find in owners' manuals and other technical documentation from suppliers. You can find it every day in your Google searches about personal technologies that you use and...
