Discover What We Can Do For The Refining Industry
Transitioning the refineries of yesterday with minimum process automation to tomorrow’s sophisticated refinery demands thoughtful planning. The dedicated team of Emerson process experts can help you achieve the utmost in energy efficiency, operational flexibility and reliability — all while maintaining critical personnel and community safety and environmental compliance.
Maintain Critical Safety
Maintain Critical Safety
- Keep refinery personnel and the community safe — the most critical part of any operating license
- Emerson flow solutions provide reliable, dependable process measurements and diagnostics for process insights and to detect abnormal process conditions
- Improve safety integrity through advanced diagnostics and technology leading safety scores
- Improve the reliability of flow measurements used in safety instrumented systems (SIS) with specially designed redundant metering systems
Meet Environmental Compliance & Reporting
Meet Environmental Compliance & Reporting
- Meet all environmental compliance standards and reporting requirements — one of the most critical parts of any operating license
- Emerson flow solutions can improve combustion control resulting in emissions reductions, easing permitting issues and meeting green house gas reporting requirements
- Emerson flow products can be utilized as a critical part of effective, reliable leak detection systems
Sustain Reliability
Sustain Reliability
- Minimize production slowdowns and unscheduled shutdowns
- Emerson Flow offers a comprehensive, effective corrosion monitoring system to proactively identify problems
- Reduce corrosion and fouling of your piping and equipment with effective inhibitor injection systems, extending turnaround frequency and duration
- Minimize variability in product quality specifications through accurate and efficient blend control
- Verify flow measurement accuracy and maintain measurement systems while the process is still running, over lengthy periods between turnarounds
Improve Operational Flexibility & Throughput
Improve Operational Flexibility & Throughput
-
Characterize crude oil with density, viscosity and water cut measurements
-
Accurate measurements, independent from composition changes, allow you to more closely mass balance the plant and follow the planning and scheduling model for the refinery to optimize profits
- Take advantage of the price differential between various crude oils to blend a feedstock with optimal profitability
Boost Energy Efficiency
Boost Energy Efficiency
- Reduce the high energy consumption associated with the refining process
- Improve mole-based combustion control for all fired equipment, including fired heaters, boilers, reforming furnaces and sulfur recovery reactor furnaces
- Accurately measure steam energy use across the refinery to identify excess consumption and process inefficiencies
