At many plants around the globe, reliability strategies haven’t changed much in the last few decades. Technicians grab a documentation device—sometimes an Android or iOS device, sometimes a hardened laptop, other times, a fit-for-purpose handheld communicator—and head...
It is often said that the COVID-19 pandemic was one of the biggest catalysts of digital transformation in many process manufacturing organizations. Operations and maintenance teams that would never before have considered adding remote systems quickly discovered they...
Few process manufacturing teams today are struggling with having too little data. On the contrary, many organizations are overwhelmed by the massive amounts of data streaming in every day from their field devices and collected during scheduled rounds. Much of that...
Here at Emerson, we’ve been talking a lot lately about boundless automation. At first glance, that term can sound somewhat scary. After all, if the solutions are boundless, where does one even begin? However, while a boundless automation future does imply a wide range...
Introduction If you are reading this, then it’s likely that you are considering investing in an ultrasonic thickness corrosion monitoring solution to improve visibility into the health of your facility. Now that you’ve decided there is a compelling reason to install...
Continuous corrosion monitoring offers the granularity, accuracy, and reproducibility that traditional periodic monitoring methods such as manual inspection do not. Using these traditional methods mean it is impossible to link corrosion incidents to asset integrity, which leads to chemical operators acting reactively rather than proactively.
Wireless non-intrusive corrosion monitoring technology can reliably be used to detect localised metal loss, which offers early detection of corrosion or erosion events as well as validation that mitigation strategies are adequately controlling corrosion and erosion.
With effective wireless technologies, workers are no longer confined to a control room. Instead, they can track critical data on hand-held devices and receive real-time alerts from equipment, allowing them to respond quickly, collaborate securely, and address any issues to decrease downtime.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) or utilization (CCU) of captured carbon dioxide (CO2) are tools for reducing global carbon emissions, but with new technologies come new challenges. Learn about potential risks with CCS and CCU, and how they could be mitigated using modern sensor technology.
In our sustainability series, we’ve been talking about how Roxar instrumentation helps our customers meet their sustainability goals. So far, we’ve dug deeper into how our Multiphase Flow Metering technology makes it easier for operators to reduce their carbon...
Monitoring corrosion risk provides early warnings to process conditions that may harm plant assets, allowing for better and faster mitigation responses. At the same time, it provides valuable data to optimize process parameters and support feedstock management.
As a complimentary technique to manual inspection methods, wireless corrosion monitoring can greatly enhance visibility into plant and asset health while also keeping personnel out of hazardous areas. In order to drive a plant to its maximum capability, operators must continuously monitor its corrosion risk in real time.
