  • Improving Boiler Operations with Better Measurements

    Emerson’s Bob Sabin , Tim Badger and Scott Pettigrew teamed up on the presentation, Fix Tough Measurement Problems to Improve Boiler Operation. Their abstract: While boilers are crucial to plant/mill business results, many times their performance is lacking. Poor combustion causes higher fuel costs and increased emissions. Lack of reliability and response hurts site production throughput and quality. A root cause of…
  • Solving Power Quality Reliability Problems

    Emerson’s Tinh Phan teamed with Peter Pan from Emerson Climate Technologies on an Emerson Exchange presentation, WirelessHART Power Metering Solving Power Quality Reliability Problems. Their abstract: Having power issues on your critical assets? Emerson robust wired power monitoring capabilities, developed a Power Monitoring wireless device with over 100 plus power parameters to choose from. Monitoring energy usage…

  • Ways to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Use

    Emerson’s Dr. Douglas White presented, Reducing Process Plant Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Use Through Automation. His abstract: Even with the recent reduction in energy prices, energy remains the largest cost after feedstocks for most process plants. Reducing fuel usage is also the preferred way to reduce emission as required by the steadily more stringent Greenhouse Gas Regulations. There are many low cost…

  • How the Sun Affects Your Utility Bill

    Douglas Morris Author: Douglas Morris Catalina Island is home to many attractions including theaters, casinos, and Hollywood stars. It’s also home to a self-contained utility system called a microgrid, which is a mini version of the electrical grid supplying your home or place of work. Emerson is helping with this system so that it can properly manage all the power inputs and outputs required to control this complex…

  • Reducing Plant Energy Consumption

    In an earlier post, Identifying Components then Optimizing Industrial Energy Consumption , we discussed how energy optimization initiatives were affected by what could be measured. Emerson’s Jonas Berge added a great comment to that post, which I will share here to bring it greater visibility. Running fans at excess speed, failed steam traps, fouling, inefficient combustion, pipe leaks, poor insulation on steam and…

  • Avoiding the Impact of Steam Trap Failures

    According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration , industrial manufacturers are larger energy consumers than the transportation, residential and commercial sectors. The industrial sector accounts for around 30 trillion BTUs of energy consumed annually. Energy-intensive processes are found in many industries including chemicals, refining, mining & metals, pulp & paper to name several. Optimizing steam usage is…
