Control Valve Selection in Plastic Pyrolysis Applications
Jim Cahill
Since their introduction over a century ago, plastic products have become ubiquitous. Unfortunately, plastic waste degrades very slowly, and over time it breaks down into microplastics that harm the environment. Some efforts to address this problem involve replacing plastics with biodegradable alternatives, while others seek to recycle plastics after use. However, recycling plastic is difficult compared to materials…

Better Magnetic Flow Meter Sensors Increase Productivity
Jim Cahill
Based on many plant visits and discussions with Emerson customers, I have concluded that handling slurries is one of the biggest problems for operators and reliability teams. The most frequently mentioned issues are clogging and erosion, which certainly take their toll, but there is also a more subtle challenge related to measuring flow. Why slurries cause this problem and what companies can do about it are the main…

Tools for Solving Compressible Fluid Flow Challenges with Today’s DP Technologies
Jim Cahill
In an automation.com article, Emerson’s Michael Flesch explains how advances in DP flow metering technology solve measurement challenges of compressible fluids. One of the perpetual instrumentation challenges that engineering students and working technicians face is measuring the flow of a gas, or worse, steam. The main problems emerge due to the compressible nature of such fluids, resulting in far more variables entering…

How to Understand and Use a Great Tool: Instrumentation Diagnostics
Jim Cahill
In a Process Instrumentation article, Emerson’s Kelly Albano looks at a powerful but often underutilized tool, instrumentation diagnostics, and shows how you can use them to improve operations. Recently, while loading some software onto my computer, I saw a message at the end: Software Installed Successfully! Maybe this doesn’t sound like much, but it’s always reassuring when something has worked as it’s supposed to…

Managing Equipment Damage Caused by Corrosive Feedstocks Encountered with Biofuel Production (Part 2)
Jim Cahill
When we talk about renewable fuels to the general public, many might imagine cars running on gasoline made from wildflowers and meadow grass. However, those who work in the industry recognize that the fats and oils used to make renewable diesel can be just about anything but that, and in fact often come from more prosaic sources, such as meatpacking waste. From a process viewpoint, waste sources can cause serious problems…

Micro Motion™︎ G-Series: Precision in a Compact Package
Jim Cahill
Over many years working with end users who are trying to solve challenging flow measurement problems, I’ve often suggested that a Coriolis mass flow meter is exactly the technology solution needed, but in some cases an alternative is preferred for a variety of reasons. Just to review, let’s mention a few of the reasons why Micro Motion Coriolis Mass Flow Meters are so versatile in many straightforward and difficult…

Solving Corrosion Problems by Treating Metal Deterioration as a Process Variable
Jim Cahill
Imagine that you’re called into your plant to solve a recurring problem. The operator states: “We’ve had to replace this valve three times this year due to failures from over pressure.” Your first question is pretty obvious: “How high is the pressure?” The operator shrugs and responds with a perfectly straight face: “We don’t know. We don’t measure it.” As absurd as this scenario sounds, it happens every day in facilities…
