Intense global competition, explosive market dynamics, and the industry’s energy transformation are all creating a level of business strain not seen in decades. Industry leaders must build a higher level of digital enterprise competence to become the best in the energy and utility industry.

A new hydrocarbon industry is developing to supply green (renewable) diesel, identical to conventional diesel, but using no fossil fuel feedstocks. To achieve the maximum carbon intensity reduction, these types of plants must operate with the highest possible efficiency, which requires the use of digital transformation tools and techniques to optimize processes and manage energy consumption. Emerson’s new white paper explains how a variety of these digital tools help producers solve problems related to feedstock variability, asset condition monitoring, custody transfer, and more.

Oxygen measurement has a new tool in its belt. With paramagnetic oxygen analyzers as the long-standing method, TDLS brings flexibility to the arena with its capacity to be installed either in-situ or extractive. SICK’s white paper covers TLDR’s applications in oxygen, tank inerting, and Merox; its many benefits and features in comparison to paramagnetic processes; as well as a brief overview of the TRANSIC100LP portfolio.

Ethylene production has stringent product purity requirements. Ethane is a by-product of modern ethylene production processes and is considered one of the main impurities of the process. Small concentrations of ethane considered as inert must be purged from the system as they are operationally undesirable. Read how a new analyzer for the extractive measurements of ethane based on Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAs) has been deployed for process control of product purity in ethylene production.

At a time when combustion technologies are rapidly changing and regulations are tightening, the need for specialized training has never been greater. The Koch Engineered Solutions Institute℠, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, offers accredited combustion and process technology courses led by some of the world’s most recognized engineers and educators in the field.

The need for asset reliability and optimization is ever-increasing, and leading asset-intensive companies are using prescriptive maintenance—powered by AI and machine learning—to unlock the value and productivity lying uncaptured in assets. Using a scalable, easy to implement prescriptive maintenance solution, companies can improve the accuracy of failure detection, increase the advance notification period of asset downtime events and reduce maintenance spend.

Learn how companies across the globe are successfully scaling prescriptive maintenance across their organizations, including examples of it in action. See the proof for yourself in this new white paper.

Designating one vendor as the main automation contractor (MAC) can reduce implementation costs by as much as 30 percent, reduce long term maintenance costs significantly, and contribute to the long term successful operation of the business. Red this white paper to learn more.
