One of the exciting benefits of attending Emerson Exchange, October 24-28, 2022, in Grapevine, Texas, is learning how users and OEMs have employed Emerson technologies to solve challenges. You’ll find real solutions in the User Case Study sessions. Two of this year’s case studies are:
Using Edge Computing to Automate Flare Monitoring (session 4-1179) – The United States oil and gas industry has 6,292 flares that burn off 10.65 billion cubic meters of natural gas every year. To operate these flares, they must comply with specific regulations set in place by government entities such as the EPA. One of the recent regulations is Method 22, which states that they must monitor their flares 24/7 and report on potentially harmful flare behaviors and black smoke production. Twin Eagle has created a solution employing advanced edge technologies that allows oil and gas companies to autonomously monitor flares 24/7 and alert on anomalies that are potentially harmful.
Port of Virginia Container Handling Expansion with Automated Stacking Cranes (session 4-1120) –By utilizing Emerson’s rugged PLC platform for automation of their automated-stacking cranes (ASCs), the Port of Virginia is increasing capacity by one million units, increasing overall personnel productivity, and improving worker safety by reducing the amount of required manual intervention in the container yard.
