Adding Experts in Valve Condition Monitoring
Fabrice Hoenig Data available in manufacturing and production facilities is growing faster than people can process. In a Process Industry Informer article, How Valve Condition Monitoring Reduces Plant Downtime , Emerson’s Fabrice Hoenig highlights this challenge: The vast amount of data that is generated about equipment condition and performance offers a great opportunity to engineers, but it can be overwhelming...

Digital Valve Services for Improved Operational Performance
For process manufacturers & producers, the performance of final control elements including valves, actuators and regulators has a major impact on their efficiency, reliability and variability. Knowing how these final control elements are performing and when they need attention can improve overall operational performance. This short 3-minute video, Digital Valve Services , highlights a portfolio of tools that provide...

A Strategic Partnership Driving Valve Operational Performance Improvement
Jaime Miller Manufacturer and producer reliability teams focus much of their efforts around the large plant assets including pumps, compressors, and control systems to maintain efficient and reliable operations. Valves, actuators and regulators often don’t get this same attention. Yet, these final control elements can have a major impact on the performance of the process. I caught up with Emerson’s Jaime Miller about...

Effectively Managing Alarms through Lifecycle
One unfortunate side effect of instrumentation becoming smarter and being able to communicate more data back to the control system, was the increased chance of flooding the operators with too much information in abnormal conditions. Work on the ANSI/ISA 18.2-2016 Management of Alarm Systems for the Process Industries standard began in 2003 to identify and codify solutions to this alarm flood challenge. The IEC 62682...

Building IIoT-Powered Condition Monitoring Business Case
The costs and difficulties associated with wiring and terminations have historically limited the sensors used in manufacturing and production processes to only the most essential measurements. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) -based wireless devices have fundamentally changed this reality. Mike Boudreaux However, more data from these sensors does not automatically translate into better business performance. It...

Improving Jacket Heating and Cooling Temperature Control
In many specialty chemical and pharmaceutical batch processes, you’ll find classic cascade and split-range control strategies used on vessel jacket heating and cooling. I caught up with Emerson’s Mark Coughran on a recent visit that he and Guillermo Bravo had taken to a plastics manufacturing facility. They were having issues with the jacket temperature control that used this classic cascade & split-range control...
