  • Retrofitting a New Transmitter to an Existing Micro Motion™︎ Coriolis Flow Meter Adds New Capabilities

    Jim Cahill
    Most of us know someone who carries a really old smartphone, or maybe just a cellphone. Some people do this deliberately as a statement, but others just can’t be bothered with doing an upgrade. Everybody doesn’t need the latest whiz-bang technology, but many truly useful capabilities don’t work on old platforms. Such can be the reality in many industrial environments, where the pinnacle of achievement for some is still…

  • Digital transformation in chemical processing: how to start small to scale big.

    Jim Cahill
    The chemical industry is facing a unique challenge: a need for growth along with environmental regulations that each day are becoming stricter and more urgent. Limited resources, an aging workforce, aging equipment: achieving both efficiency and sustainability can seem impossible. But there’s a solution: creating an ecosystem of real-time data and actionable insights. In a word, digital transformation. Unlocking Data…

  • Measurement Integrity for Improved Mass Balance

    Jim Cahill
    Based on physics and chemistry’s conservation of mass law, mass can be neither created nor destroyed. Mass balance is: The mass that enters a system must, by conservation of mass, either leave the system or accumulate within the system. I offer this as background for my communications with Emerson’s Martin McDonough , who shared with me its use in chemical plant losses and production accounting. The gain or loss is…

  • Industrial Software Helps Pipeline Operators Transition to More Sustainable Operation

    Jim Cahill
    Today, it’s not only the public calling for more sustainability commitment from industry. In many cases, investors are increasing their interest in companies’ sustainability plans as well, leading more and more organizations to make very public commitments to reaching net zero emissions within the next decade or two. But for every commitment made, there are many people supporting the company’s operations who must find…

  • Modern Software Drives Cutting-Edge Terminal Operations

    Jim Cahill
    Terminals are businesses, and, like any business, they face competition in the marketplace. A terminal that can turn vessels around more quickly provides added value to customers who in turn can use that extra time to create more value in their own businesses. So, to stay competitive, today’s terminals must maximize their throughput capacity and efficiency. However, today’s terminals are more complex than ever, just…

  • Improving Fired Heater Efficiency and Performance

    Jim Cahill
    In chemical manufacturing operations, fired heaters are used to provide heat for the desired chemical reactions. They are a significant component in energy usage—in fact, 37% of the U.S. manufacturing end use, and improving their efficiency translates directly to the bottom line. 30% to 50% of an operating budget is typically spent on energy. I caught up with Martin McDonough about ways that chemical manufacturers can…
