  Hi!  I'm the program head of Automation and Instrumentation at the British Columbia Institute of Technology.  It is a practical, engineering-based program that is focused on the application of automation and measurement technologies.  At this time DeltaV is used to control a modern Nebraska boiler and vapour / liquid heat exchangers.  DeltaV simulation licenses provide a programming / configuration environment for students to implement control strategies.

  I'd like to learn from the wealth of experience out there and am particularily interested in challenging DeltaV applications and the issues they present.  I'd like to collaborate with anyone wanting to experiment or "try out" new ideas or test solutions.  My goal:  Keep myself and our program current and relevant to industry's automation needs.

  Thanks!

  Thanks for creating the online community.  I’m interested to see what types of contributions and ideas we collect.  I’m Jeff Blair from St. Louis.  I work for Emerson Process Management - Rosemount Measurement.  My passions are the application engineering, training and configuration that lead to successful start-ups and operations for our customer base here in the Midwest.  As a volunteer, I work with the local ISA Section to help recruit speakers and find topics that the local St. Louis instrumentation and control community will enjoy at our monthly networking and education meeting.  I’ll look on the community to contribute and keep my eyes open for anyone interested in taking their Emerson Exchange presentation “on the road.”
