  • Green Diesel: A New Industry Built Entirely on Sustainability

    Authors: Meha Jha and Julie Valentine It isn’t often that we get to see a new industry being born, but in many respects, the growth of green (renewable) diesel is just that event. The idea of manufacturing diesel, indistinguishable from the conventional product, using only non-fossil feedstocks, and in meaningful quantities, is a pretty big deal, especially in terms of sustainability. Green diesel is a post-digital…

  • MTP Unlocks Faster Integration for Smoother Capital Projects

    Because automation is typically on the critical path of any capital project, delays in integration can have significant impacts on project timelines and costs. One of the most common areas where integrating equipment can delay project completion and startup is with intelligent devices (IDs). In a recent article in Chemical Processing , Emerson’s Juan Carlos Bravo addressed this issue and explained how Module Type Package…

  • Capital Project Success: Your Roadmap

    The complexity of today’s capital projects is causing a widespread loss of value and confidence due to project overruns. Projects are larger, more technical, and running at a faster pace than ever before. Yet decades-old project methodologies can’t keep pace. And that means it is time to rethink capital projects and transform these outdated strategies with digital technologies, high-end expertise, and the power of automation…
