  • Improved Instrumentation Necessary to Support Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Refueling Infrastructure

    Jim Cahill
    Many antique collectors love “visible” gasoline pumps that were common roughly a century ago. They’re the tall ones with a large glass graduated cylinder at the top. When filling up, the station attendant would manually pump gasoline into the cylinder, and then allow it to drain via gravity into the customer’s car. The amount charged was the difference between the starting and ending measurements. Obviously, not the most…

  • Safe, Reliable and Accurate Loading and Unloading Operations

    Jim Cahill
    Loading and unloading operations for chemical producers must be performed safely, reliably, and accurately. I caught up with Emerson’s Martin McDonough on ways to mitigate risks and improve operational performance. These operations can be some of the highest-risk operations within a facility and account for as much as 80% of transport-related incidents. In addition to mitigating risks to personnel and the environment…

  • Ultrasonic Flow Meters Set a New Standard for Natural Gas Custody Transfer

    Jim Cahill
    Watching the changes in oil and gas supply chains over the last few years has been exciting, to say the least. With changes in sources and political upheaval in global energy markets, many traditional relationships have been upset. The result has been that many new connections between buyers and sellers have taken shape, which makes understanding how custody transfer works all the more important. This coincides with…

  • Onboard Vehicle Hydrogen Pressure Management

    Jim Cahill
    As the focus on hydrogen as an energy carrier in the global energy mix continues to advance, one area receiving attention is transportation. Fuel cell-powered vehicles use hydrogen to create the electrical energy to drive the motor. Hydrogen poses challenges as an energy source and requires precise flow management to meet the changing load demands that the motor places upon the fuel cell. This quick 1:12 video, Hydrogen…

  • High-Pressure Coriolis Flow Meters for Hydrogen Dispensing Operations Podcast

    Jim Cahill
    Hydrogen dispensing operations require accuracy and repeatability at the high pressures they require. The flow measurements must also be rugged and reliable to handle the metal embrittlement that hydrogen causes. In this Amplified Podcast , How Coriolis technology is making hydrogen dispensing safer, efficient , Control magazine editor in chief, Len Vermillion , speaks with Emerson’s Genny Fultz to discuss how Micro…

  • Power over Ethernet in the Micro Motion 1600 Compact Transmitter

    Jim Cahill
    Power over Ethernet (PoE) enables one Ethernet cable to provide both a data connection and electric power from a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) to a Powered Device (PD) instead of having a separate cable for each. The Micro Motion 1600 Coriolis Transmitter is a Type 1 Power Class 3 PD that is compatible with Type 1 (PoE) or Type 2 (PoE+) PSE’s. I share this as background because although PoE has been around for a while…

  • Accurate Measurements in Hydrogen Dispensing Operations

    Jim Cahill
    One of the paths toward lower carbon-based fuel consumption in transportation is to use hydrogen as an energy carrier for fuel cells. The electricity produced by the fuel cell powers motors. One of the challenges in using hydrogen as a fuel is in accurately measuring it when dispensed into the vehicle. An H2Tech article, Billing accuracy for H2 vehicle refueling stations , highlights this challenge and an effective solution…
