  • Ovation Users’ Group 2023 Opens with a Look Into the Future

    After three long years, the Ovation Users’ Group is back in person in Pittsburgh in 2023. Bob Yeager opened the conference with an expansive vision for the many ways Emerson will work together with its users to meet a changing future. Change is a central theme in power generation today, so it is no surprise that it is also a central theme for #OvationUG. Bob explained that true change cannot happen without reinvention…

  • Case Study: How a U.S. Water Authority Significantly Reduced Secondary Treatment Costs

    Manually controlling water and wastewater treatment processes — such as those performed by aeration basins — typically creates significant operational variations that translate into reduce efficiency, higher costs and lower performance. Automation offers a solution that can drive more efficient and cost-effective operations while providing additional benefits of decreasing energy and chemical use. The experience of…

  • 4 reasons why radar level is superior to ultrasonic level technology

    4 reasons why radar level is superior to ultrasonic level technology: Radar and ultrasonic level measurements are both widely used in industrial and environmental applications for measuring the level of liquids and solids in lift stations, tanks, and open channel flows. Both technologies work on the principle of measuring the time of flight between the transmission of the signal and its reflection from the surface…

  • PACSystems and Movicon.NExT Solutions Selected for Water Distribution in Largest Greenfield Urban Development Project in the World

    In today’s world, it’s unusual to get to work on an urban development project that’s entirely greenfield, but Emerson is currently involved in just such a development with several product families including, quite notably, the discrete control and software solutions. Few projects could be more challenging in terms of both environmental and technical challenges. Here are some details. NEOM, the largest greenfield urban…

  • Extending the Digital Twin for More Sustainable Power Generation

    Anyone paying attention to power—and probably even those who aren’t—are well aware that the way electricity is generated and delivered is rapidly changing. While the traditional combined cycle power facilities on the generation side we have come to depend on will be with us for a long time, new sustainable sources of renewable and distributed energy such as wind, solar, battery and green hydrogen are changing the grid…
