H2 Electrolyzer Control Valve Considerations
Large-scale solar and wind energy projects play a key role in meeting the global demand for renewable energy, but effective energy storage solutions are needed to provide consistent electricity during cloudy or dark hours, and during windless periods. Hydrogen...
Minor Oil Separator Upgrades Lead to Major Savings
Oil separators perform a crucial task in upstream petroleum operations, but process control instability can cause product losses and downstream equipment fouling. One facility in Canada faced serious reliability issues with its oil separator, significantly reducing...
Preventing Desuperheater Nozzle Failures with Routine Testing
Desuperheaters play a critical role in many steam processes, spraying water into steam to protect downstream equipment from overheating. The heart of a desuperheater is its spray nozzle, but these nozzles are often installed and forgotten until they fail, resulting in...
An Overview of API-6DX
The American Petroleum Institute (API) recently issued the 25th edition of their API 6D standard, which includes design, testing, and documentation requirements for valve actuators, as outlined in API 6DX. My article in the June 2025 issue of Pipeline & Gas...
Specialized Valves for Effective LNG Operations
Processing, storing, and transporting LNG requires a host of valves that must perform reliably under very challenging conditions. These valves must deal with cryogenic temperatures, while meeting strict requirements for tight shutoff and low fugitive emissions. Our...
New and Improved Severe Service Urea Valves
The urea process poses extreme challenges for control valves, including high pressures and pressure drops, elevated temperatures, and corrosive carbamate solutions. Our article in the June 2025 issue of Hydrocarbon Processing, titled “New alternatives for severe...
Improving Commissioning and Startup with Control Valve Solutions
Commissioning and startup of a large process plant is often a difficult task, with hundreds, if not thousands, of workers scrambling to complete their assigned tasks. Amid this chaos, valves and critical accessories are commonly misplaced, damaged, or installed incorrectly, increasing costs and causing production delays.
Innovative Diaphragm Technology for Pressure Relief Valves
Emerson’s Marcelo Dultra shared a presentation, Crosby JDS: Revolutionizing PRV Applications with Diaphragm Technology, at the Emerson Exchange 2025 Conference.
Solving Tough Applications with Severe Service Valves
Emerson’s Chris Vergos, Justin Goodwin, and Shelby Daniels presented Toughest Application Challenges Solved with Severe Service Innovations at the Emerson Exchange 2025 conference.
Pressure Relief Valve Digital Position Monitoring
This 4:31 YouTube video, Fisher™ FIELDVUE™ 4400 Digital Position Transmitter for Crosby J-Series Pressure Relief Valves, provides a closer look at how this digital position transmitter enables real-time, high-accuracy valve lift data to track pressure relief events and calculate volumetric release.
Success in a Challenging Tailings Relocation Project
An Australian coal mining company was looking to extend the life of its mine. The challenge was that the area where they wanted to expand mining operations was currently being used as a tailings storage facility (TSF).
