  • Optimal Steam Trap Performance for Heat Exchangers in Sustainable Steam Production

    Jim Cahill
    In a recent Hydrocarbon Processing article, Improving the sustainability of steam production , Emerson’s Marcio Donnangelo and Tim Dwyer share their insights on the crucial role of efficient heat transfer in process manufacturing. They explore the challenges industries face with steam distribution systems, particularly the impact of problems with steam traps and their impacts on heat exchangers on energy efficiency and…

  • The Path to Sustainability – One Critical Step at a Time

    Jim Cahill
    No matter the industry, sustainability is a priority for nearly every industrial company with the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 as a corporate goal for many enterprises. More than one-third (702) of the world’s largest publicly traded companies have net zero targets, up from one-fifth in December 2020. National targets covered just 16% of global gross domestic product (GDP) as recently as 2019. Fast…

  • Yes, You Can Reduce Your Plant’s Energy Costs Easily and Affordably

    Jim Cahill
    While many functions in industrial plants are commonly automated, the tracking and management of energy remains a task frequently conducted manually. Workers move around with spreadsheets from machine to machine, attempting to capture some semblance of the energy being consumed in a procedure fraught with potential errors and with no way to capture real-time energy overages or to determine when and under what conditions…

  • Evaluating Combustion: Efficiency Alone is Not Enough

    Jim Cahill
    In an Industrial Heating article, Emerson’s Andrew Smith breaks down the complexities of combustion control, and provides a solution Some industrial processes prove to be more complex in actual operation than they first appear. One of the most common is combustion, as applied with boilers, fired heaters, ovens, and the like. Conceptually, it is very easy to understand: mix fuel with air in the right proportion and it…
