How Natural Gas Accelerates the Path to Hydrogen
There is no single path to decarbonization, and the familiar phrase “energy transition” recognizes that progress is found one step at a time. To meet increasing demand for greenhouse gas reduction, companies are looking to adopt climate-friendly hydrogen as a flexible, infinitely renewable energy source. Hydrogen is gaining momentum due to the high degree of flexibility of […]
A guide to industrial AI and digital transformation
Written by: Jonas Berge, Senior Director of Applied Technology, Emerson The scope of automation in refineries, petrochemical complexes, and other plants today is much broader than just core process control. Now it includes improving safety, sustainability and reliability – over and above production – as plants must achieve operational excellence, without increasing their workforces. The […]
Case Study: Material transition to aerogel insulation leads to energy efficiency and improved thermal management
Introduction Historically, insulation was considered less critical compared to other equipment in an oil and gas plant. In the recent decade, that traditional mindset is fast changing, as facility operators who persistently use conventional insulation materials are witnessing rampant corrosion and rising annual energy demand affecting the operational efficiency of their assets. On the other […]
