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 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

• 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

• 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

• 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
