Communicating Asset Health to Management with APM

Asset management and reliability program effectiveness is often difficult to communicate to management and vested asset stakeholders. Mine management is challenging and often times mine management relies heavily on reliability engineers and technicians to verbally communicate the health of their assets. Asset Performance Management (APM) is being implemented at Kennecott Utah Copper (KUC) Mine in Utah and is making communicating asset health to management seamless and clear.

Intelligent Device Management Best Practices - Incorporating Device Diagnostics in Daily Maintenance

Intelligent on/off valves, electric actuators (MOV), gas chromatographs, tank gauging systems, along with all other instrumentation do self-diagnostics, reporting problems such as thermocouple degradation, entrained air or flame instability etc., and built-in continuous valve performance to intelligent device management software. But if nobody sees their alerts or check it, self-diagnostics is useless. This is a problem faced in many plants. This workshop will explain how to deploy the digital plant architecture or upgrade, the required engineering work, philosophy changes, and procedures


AMS implementation at the Valero Wilmington Refinery

Utilizing the AMS ValveLink diagnostic functionality the maintenance group scanned critical control valve assets to determine overall asset health. 253 critical control valve assets were identified as scheduled for repair. The AMS ValveLink Diagnostic software indicated 225 of these critical assets were in good working order and did not need to be pulled for repair.

Using wireless technology for an integrated approach to asset reliability.

Blandin Papers is utilizing the combination of SMART WiHART technology and DeltaV to build an integrated approach to their paper machine reliability program. The IEC 62591 WiHART technology provides a flexible and cost effective solution for continuous monitoring of machine condition. The 9420 vibration transmitter with PeakVue technology has been able to reliably diagnose rotating equipment bearing faults and alert operations and maintenance earlier than previously possible. The technology integration has been named a “Best Practice” by Blandin Paper’s parent UPM-Kymmene.

Using AMS Machinery Manager and 6500s to diagnose remote asset issues

This session will discuss how critical assets spread across geographically distant locations can be monitored and diagnosed for maintenance issues and machinery failures from a central location. Multiple case histories will be reviewed showing how problems have be monitored and resolved with out sending a vibration expert onsite.

How to integrate predictive diagnostics, a structured works practice and business system information to create an effective asset management solution

Manufacturers are pressured to improve performance of assets while managing limited resources. While plants have benefited from predictive technologies and maintenance management systems, they have lacked the ability to apply this information to drive improvements in maintenance performance. This session will highlight how to combine these technologies to create an asset management solution.

Critical Assets are only as reliable as their Power Supply - Why adding Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) to the Main Asset Management System

Most electrical and instrumentation projects in Petroleum and Powergen include a UPS to protect mission-critical systems and processes (eg Personnel Safety, Emergency Lighting, SIS/F&G/DCS, and offshore Helideck/Navaid/Position Thrusters) from the risks of poor quality electrical power and power interruptions. Although the UPS represents only ~ 7-10% of a typical Automation budget, the prospect of this Critical Asset failing to work when required is unimaginable. Condition Monitoring of the UPS with predictive diagnostics in the Asset Management environment is the answer.


Work smarter not harder - Effective use of online AMS Device Manger.

Clamping down on Steam Condensate Loss - Using the Pipe Clamp Sensor at a Brewery

The Anheuser-Busch Brewery in Ft. Collins has a steam condensate system that includes a condensate tank, a vapor condenser, and a reclaimer. Condensate is collected throughout the brewery from many systems. An upstream thermowell measurement was picking up additional heat from the vapor condenser and giving inaccurate readings the to control system, which ultimately caused the control valve to be constantly open and chemicals to be lost to the atmosphere. A 2” Pipe Clamp Sensor was installed. As a result, the system rarely loses chemicals to the atmosphere.


Unlike Foundation Fieldbus, enabling AMS on an operating refinery is not automatic for 4-20mA HART based instrumentation. A number of steps have to be manually completed correctly for each analog point to prevent unwanted process upsets. The preferred time to activate AMS is on a turn around. However modern turnaround cycles can be up to eight years, therefore in order to reap the benefits of AMS, refiners need to enable AMS while the unit is in operation. This paper will cover some of the issues, benefits, and unexpected results that can occur when enabling AMS on an operating process unit.


Improve management of Severe Service valve assets in today's power plant

The power industry has changed significantly over the last 10 years. The industry has moved from the traditional base load plants to a mix of including peak load combined cycles plus stand alone CT’s and renewable technology. Control valve applications in the combined cycle plants are particularly severe especially in plants experiencing daily start/stops. This mode of operation presents issues specific to thermal cycling, water hammer, flow accelerated corrosion, cavitation, erosion and noise. Emerson can help customers better manage control valve assets in these challenging applications.

Our goal was to improve reliability and reduce maintenance costs through the use of predictive maintenance processes and technology. This session will discuss the processes we followed and the payoff received.

Precise Device Configuration - Selecting the Right Tool for You

Asset management software, field communicators and local operator interfaces are the three primary configuration tools available in the industry. Depending on the user's protocol, device type, automation environment and staffing resources, each of these tools can provide a different range of value, or headache. This workshop will focus on helping users choose the best configuration tool for their applications to improve efficiency and performance while reducing costs.


Have it your way - Integrating valve diagnostics in your plant

Control Valve reliability is critical to maximizing plant throughput and operational effectiveness. Recent state-of-the-art developments in current maintenance and tools have now made it possible to perform advanced valve maintenance and troubleshooting with mobility and ease of integration never experienced before. Whether a single valve repair during an unplanned event or with hundreds of valve repairs during a shutdown, the speed and ease at which repair and validation can be completed and work documented in your asset management software is important.


Good regulatory control performance is crucial to maintain safe operation, minimize operating cost, and enhance revenue. Saudi Aramco has implemented a plant-wide control performance monitoring system that is closely integrated with plant operations/maintenance workflow processes, KPI (key performance indicator) dashboards, and alarm/asset management systems to significantly improve overall performance of the entire plant control assets. This comprehensive approach tackling regulatory control and control assets simultaneously has so far reaped enormous economic benefits for the plant.

Essential Asset Monitoring Keeps UT-Austin Out of a "Pickle" at PRC

Traditionally, process plants were built with the minimum amount of instrumentation,only that which was necessary to safely operate.Only the most expensive assets were deemed critical enough warrant monitoring and protection systems.However, many of these unmonitored assets are still essential to safe and profitable operation. The AMS Asset Graphics Essential Asset Monitoring Suite installed at UT-Austin's Pickle Research Center provides useful insight into the health of essential assets. Operators can now see the health of pumps, blowers and heat exchangers without leaving the control room.

Using creative and innovative solutions to ensure higher fieldbus system availability

Fieldbus runs smoothly and reliably in modern process plants; however users try to deal with real-life fieldbus problems in same manner as classic 4-20 mA, including the unpredictable, such as water ingress in junction boxes, loose wire strands causing an intermittent earth fault, or wear of surge protectors. Recent safety-related protocols place even higher demands on fieldbus system availability. New technologies and concepts can monitor the fieldbus physical layer by pushing monitoring from the control room into the field, where it becomes an integral part of the fieldbus installation.

Conditional Based Monitoring on Three Column Gas Chromatograph

Gas Chromatograph (GC) is used to measure gas composition of natural gas. The result is used as input for other calculations such as calorific value (CV), density, compressibility etc. As gas is traded based on its CV, its accuracy becomes critical. GC is a repeatable device, however there are issues associated with it. If the valve timing setting is wrong, it can give systematic error. Valve timing can also drift, and this will also affect measurement. A live test proved that undetected error can contribute up to 1.4% of error in cv and valued to more than £300,000 of error per month.

The Importance of Shaft Centerline - Turbine Start-Up Case History

When a rotor system with hydrodynamic bearings changes speed or load, the stiffness and damping characteristics of the bearings are also modified. As a result, changes in the average radial position of the shaft will also be observed. Primary and secondary mahinery malfunctions such as misalignment can produce significant changes in the rotor's radial position within the bearings. These changes in radial position can be directly observed via the shaft centerline data plot. This presentation will examine a real world case where shaft centerline data was used to correct misalignment.

System Health Monitoring - Just What the Doctor Ordered

Emerson’s System Health Monitoring solution enables customers to effectively manage DCS system assets. A modern DCS system consists of COTS components integrated together. A typical system includes workstations, switches, firewalls, controllers, etc. Often these critical DCS components receive less focused maintenance than their process asset counterparts. This is due to lack of resources, technical skills, and lack of emphasis on these asset types. As a result, control systems run the risk of asset downtime or impairment, which can result in extra expenses, lost product, and downtime.

Leadership in SHE for achieving Manufacturing Execution Excellence

Many companies say they are ‘safety focused’ but really don’t put safety first. Without a true safety culture and proper systems in place then safety becomes a fad and is not practiced actively throughout the organization. If a company lives and breaths safety from the top down ,then over time they will see progress not only in safety but also in quality and other areas of manufacturing. The combination of a behavior based safety culture coupled with validated Safety Instrumented Systems is the key for manufacturing execution excellence.

Justifying automation projects is critical for approval, since automation must compete with other projects for capital. Benefits need to be identified and the financial gains determined. However the justification process is difficult. This workshop focuses on identifying automation benefits and financial justification methods. Covered topics include: Identifying areas to look for automation, operational review methods, overcoming obstacles, financial improvement estimation rules-of-thumb and methods, financial analysis of obsolete equipment replacement, and example automation benefits.


There are many challenges in deploying a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) in a re-usable manner. As MES systems are integrally intertwined into the manufacturing environment, there are many drivers for requirements coming from validation, manufacturing, operations planning, warehouse operations, inventory management, and finance. These many separate instances tend to drive site-specific compromise solutions that are difficult to drive across a broad organization. The cost impact of single point solutions can often make MES very difficult to justify a very valuable manufacturing tool.

Universal Quality - The Process of Becoming a Globally Approved Supplier for LyondellBasell

LyondellBasell implemented a global quality initiative that strived to receive a consistent, quality product from one supplier no matter where the supplier purchased or procured the materials. It was critical to their global quality initiative that all of their plant locations obtained the same quality of parts regardless of where the parts were manufactured. In order to approve a supplier, LyondellBasell conducts a thorough Quality Audit. LyondellBasell came to Marshalltown, IA for a Quality Audit, which resulted in Fisher Controls becoming the first global approved control valve supplier.

Bye-Bye Manual Measurement: Improving Product Quality on a Fluid Bed Dryer Using Process Analytical Technology (PAT)

One of the critical process parameters in a tablet manufacturing process is % moisture at the end of the drying process. Manufacturers typically infer moisture content based on the inlet and outlet temperature difference and then confirm the moisture by stopping the unit to take a sample of valuable product and test it to determine if the drying step is complete or if the drying process must be continued. In this session, we will explore a case history for implementing a PAT solution including proof of concept, justification, and implementation.

Management


The DeltaV function block palette can be daunting at times, as there are as many methods of programming as there are programmers. For example, a CALC block can be used with complicated structured text to accomplish a variety of actions. However, what if there was an easier way that requires only one block? Or what happens if you need status with the CALC block? Will an ACTION block do just the same? What about graphics? Are there blocks in the palette that can drive graphical items? Sometimes the difference between working smarter and working harder is a simple matter of education.

Operators familiar with panel board controls shudder when their process view shrinks from a 6 ft by 12 ft panel to a dual monitor console. Upgrading to quad-monitors can increase your operator’s “real estate” without the cost of additional workstations or the hassle of managing multiple keyboards and mice. Whether you are upgrading from a standard or customized DeltaV layout, configuring quads requires attention to detail to ensure success. We’ve given several of our workstations a facelift and we’ll discuss our approach and things to consider when you expand your view with quad-monitors.


The Benefits of Design using DeltaV CHARMs I/O - An EPC's Perspective

For offshore oil & gas facilities, space utilization and weight control are important factors that must be considered in the detailed design phase. The control system is not exempt from these criteria as it directly and indirectly contributes to space usage and weight. The use of DeltaV with CHARMs technology for a major offshore project has proven the fact that both space usage is optimized and weight can be kept in check. In addition, engineering time and effort required to design a CHARMs-based control system is substantially reduced as opposed to a traditional I/O based system.


Backup & Recovery: Your Economic Last line of Defense

Today’s production processes are heavily dependent on computer systems where any system downtime can result in huge production delays and cost over runs that will impact your bottom line. In case of a system crash,time is money and having the ability to bring your workstations online quickly and efficiently can protect your production investment. Eli Lilly discusses their decision process, justification and business benefits of having the DeltaV System backup and Recovery Solution on multiple systems in their plant.


Interface with Electrical : Hardwired vs Bussed : CHARMS provide an answer

At Shell Iraq, Emerson proposed the CHARMS technology for hardwired interface for all electrical drives in the plant .CHARMS were located in Interposing cabinets eliminating the cables , reducing footprint and allowed for extensive testing of the interface panels off site. This was achieved by using DI & DO type of CHARMS . The segregation was achieved in a manner enabling deliveries to be met without compromising on any of the technical needs. This resulted estimated savings to the tune of 10% in engineering hours for interface design and savings in CAPEX to the tune of USD 100 K.

Alto Parana migrates a 1000 ADT/day pulp mill’s control system in record time

Alto Parana is a pulp mill located in the province of Misiones, in Argentina. In 1996 was acquired by Arauco, one of the largest forestry enterprises in Latin America. The plant produces 1000 ADT/day. This application consisted in the upgrade of the mill’s control system from Provox to DeltaV V11.3 in the Digestion, Bleaching and Delignification areas. This was achieved by reverse engineering from a very old Provox version, Proflex 4.1. The complete system size is about 2,500 points.


As SCADA moves into the world of IT the quality of the specification is even more important. Over 80% of IT projects worldwide fail to deliver, and the majority can be traced to poor specifications. The specification is probably the most important part of a SCADA system A good specification will ensure that you get the functionality you require, at a reasonable price within a reasonable timescale. A poor specification may result in you getting something very different than what you expected, and paying far too much for it. Learn eleven rules to follow when developing a "good" specification

Minera Los Pelambres (MLP) is a copper deposit located in the IV Region in Chile and produces 400 Ktons/year of copper and 10 Ktons/year of molybdenum. In 2005 MLP decided to expand the plant’s capacity and making the operation more secure adopting new technologies. In 2010 the migration process begun and the HMI Bailey operation stations were replaced for DeltaV stations. In this application, MLP tells the two year journey that allowed, by migrating to DeltaV, reaching those goals and to keep exceeding them.


Minera Los Pelambres applies Advanced Process Control with MPC in the mining process in copper extraction

Minera Los Pelambres is located 200km north of Santiago and is one of the top ten copper mines in the world and produces 400 tons/year. This application describes the migration from an existing separate system to a system linked with the plant’s control system DeltaV through the addition of APC modules. Due to the complexity of the task, the migration was performed in two stages; the first one was from the legacy control system to traditional PID modules, and the second one, to MPC for regulatory control of the SAG mill and the ball mills.


Most are aware of the features of the DeltaV Continuous Historian for recording process data. What isn’t as widely known is the ability to manually enter data into the historian, and have the timestamp be specified by the operator. We have been able to get rid of all of our dry erase boards, daily hand-written reports, and filing cabinets with the use of the DeltaV Continuous Historian. Operators are able to enter process events and laboratory results into the historian, and this information is then stored for their retrieval at any time.

Crude oil has about a 0.1% water content once delivered.

This water must be removed (crude tank water draw) to prevent over-pressuring in the crude units.

Several methods exist. However, a simple and familiar system was desired. Therefore, mass flow meters were used to measure density and control water draw flow.

Replacing Mechanical Flowmeters Improves Measurement Reliability and Uncertainty; Reduces Operation Costs

Positive displacement (PD) meters are a proven, generally accepted method for metering gas. Before the advent of flow computers they were the only option. Many remain in service. They are subject to wear causing reduced accuracy and high maintenance costs and low reliability. This presentation will define the improvement in flow measurement uncertainty and reliability in custody transfer applications by replacing PD meters with Conditioning orifice plates.

Optimize Your Batching when Faced with Raw Material Variations

Faribault Foods is a contract canning company serving the Food & Beverage industry. One of the products they make is refried beans, a challenging product since naturally occurring variances in raw materials require precise batching to create a final product of consistent quality. Historical use of volumetric meters for batching resulted in final product viscosity variances which required time-consuming rework and reduced plant throughput. Converting to Coriolis meters eliminated problems caused by density variation in the primary ingredients, reducing rework and improving plant thru-put.

Measuring The Viscosity & Density of Drilling Fluids & Hydrofrac Gel

The density & viscosity properties of drilling fluids & hydrofrac gels are very important to the oil & gas industry. Accurately measuring these parameters on-line & in real time would allow wells to be drilled & hydrofrac'd more effectively, faster, with better safety, & with less waste. However, these parameters are difficult to measure on-line. This workshop will document the development & testing of a new type of nonNewtonian viscometer designed to handle these difficult fluids & process conditions. This instrument system may become an important new Emerson product.

Protecting Critical Pumps to Increase Safety and Keep your Plant Running

Liquid pumps are the heart of every plant. Whether it’s for cooling or heating, conveyance of product to a reactor or a billable material to a tanker, when a pump stops bad things happen. Routine maintenance can extend pump life just as exercise strengthens a heart; but it can’t eliminate failure risk. If we had a 24/7 alert mechanism to predict heart failure before it occurred we’d use it. Pumps have characteristic warning signs that tell us failure is imminent and the mode of failure. Proactive monitoring is the equivalent of your plant’s medical alert system to prevent unplanned shutdowns

Refinery Saves Over $220,000 on Claus Process with Updated Pressure Instrumentation

A major refinery in Europe had struggled with getting accurate DP measurements that were critical for operating and controlling a 3-stage Claus Process that was used for Sulfur Recovery. Existing instrument installations were maintenance intensive, unreliable, and constantly put the processing unit at the risk of a costly shutdown. Emerson professionals worked with the refinery automation engineer to upgrade the pressure instrumentation to the Rosemount 3051S Electronic Remote Sensor System which resulted in over $220,000 in maintenance savings and avoided shutdowns.


Improving Refinery Fired Heater Safety using Advanced Pressure Diagnostics

Maintaining stable combustion is critical to the safe operation of fired heaters. A sudden change in fuel gas composition can cause the combustion process to go unstable or even flame out. Pressure transmitters with Advanced Diagnostics can monitor pulsations in the furnace draft pressure associated with unstable combustion. Data from a burner vendor test furnace can be used to determine an operator alarm limit indicative of flame instability. Operators can utilize the alarm to validate proper operation of their furnace, and ensure continued safe operation.

Steaming on Quality? How Advanced Diagnostics can measure Steam Quality

Steam is used in many applications from refining, to oil production, to heat distribution. The quality of the steam (ratio of vapor to liquid) directly relates to the amount of energy available. Steam quality cannot be measured directly, and traditional indirect methods of measuring steam quality are slow, labor intensive, and sometimes dangerous. Pressure transmitters with Advanced Diagnostics can be used to estimate the steam quality on-line. Field test data shows successful estimation of steam quality in the distribution system on an oil field employing steam flooding technology.

Increase Safety and Efficiency While Reducing Maintenance of Level Applications in Refining

Traditional technologies have high maintenance costs and may not be reliable or fast enough.

Other suitable technologies will be included for key applications where GWR is not best fit.

Improve Efficiency and Reduce Downtime with Advanced Pressure Diagnostics

Advanced pressure diagnostics provide users the ability to detect abnormalities in process conditions and the electrical loop. Example problems can be plugged impulse lines, furnace flame instability, pump cavitation, or water in the terminal compartment. Diagnosing these conditions can generate a HART alert or 4-20 mA alarm, allowing for proactive maintenance. Additional device functionality is also accessible with diagnostics. This short course provides an overview of the diagnostics offering, application uses, interoperability with host systems, troubleshooting tips, and customer benefits.

Restoring Civil War Submarine Using pH and Conductivity Measurements

In 1864, the H.L. Hunley Civil War submarine was the first ship capable of maneuvering completely underwater. It sank off the coast of South Carolina, only to be raised 136 years later. Rosemount products were used as part of the restoration efforts which included corrosion control. This workshop will provide a brief history of the submarine; then an in depth discussion about the restoration tank measurements and related common industry applications. Examples will include pH and conductivity for corrosion control in equipment such as cooling towers and boilers.

How Much Is Another Measurement Worth?

What is the economic value of a new measuring device in a process plant – a new analyzer, a more accurate flow measurement, an additional temperature or pressure measurement, etc.? Excluding the minimum set of measurements required to safely operate the plant and meet regulatory requirements, how can additional measurements be economically justified? Plant engineers are often presented with this issue. In this presentation a framework is presented to quantitatively address this subject and examples from the process industries are used to illustrate the procedures developed

Save Your Assets - Increase Pump Life with Advanced Diagnostics

Pressure transmitters with Advanced Diagnostics provide the ability to detect abnormalities in process conditions such as pump cavitation. Plant personnel at Eka Chemical in Howard, WI were able to utilize this technology to determine when their pumps have gone into cavitation. The use of this knowledge allowed Eka to introduce a variable speed drive feedback controlled by the diagnostic signal. This control loop reduced the amount of time their pumps spent in cavitation, extended the life of the pumps, and potentially reduced their process water usage.



Early Warning of Distillation Column Flooding Using DP Transmitter Advanced Diagnostics

Producers who use distillation columns use various techniques of advanced control logic to keep them running. Temperature and/or differential pressure measurements are monitored to balance mass and energy flows. Often these act as “idiot lights:” they detect that the column is in some advanced degree of flooding rather than warning that flood is imminent. Using Advanced Diagnostics, the column could be pushed to near flood condition to increase efficiency and plant throughput. Praxair and Emerson have partnered to test this technology on a full scale commercial column.

A “virtual” instrument is a computed value, based on a collection of actual measurements, to measure something as if an actual instrument were there. These virtual instruments can be as simple as inferring a tank’s outlet flow by computing the change in level or as complex as inferring a flow via mass balance. Come see how our plant uses a variety of these virtual sensors to corroborate actual measurements, provide real time ‘calibration’ of actual sensors, or perform the function of a primary instrument. The why's are addressed, but the focus is on the implementation of these sensors.

Well Control and Optimization In ROC and Floboss with Production Manager and F

Producing natural gas shale wells can typically employ either plunger lift methodology, or can be free flowing. In both cases, it is important to maximize natural gas production, elimination of water, and preserve the formation energy .

By using optimization programs such as Production Manager, and Free Flowing Well Manager in ROC or Floboss, the production and optimization can be carried out over the life of the well from its free flowing stage, through plunger lift and then with pump control, all the while seeking to preserve the well energy for as long as possible.

Models can aid in quality parameter prediction and early fault detection. This workshop shows customers how to install Batch Analytics for their DeltaV 9, 10, 11 and 12 system. This session focuses on the practical aspects of connecting Batch Analytics to a DeltaV system and compliments session “Batch Analytics (BA) product – technology basics and application guidelines”

Effective Use of PID Features for Loop Performance and Optimization

The DeltaV PID flexibility is enhanced by an extensive set of features to improve loop and process performance. This short course provides guidelines and rules of thumb for the setting of options and parameters to improve loop response, coordinate loops, increase process efficiency, push production rates, eliminate disruptions, minimize process variability, and reduce valve maintenance.

Rubberized Asphalt is considerably more difficult to pump and meter than standard grades of asphalt. The addition of ground crumb rubber dramatically increases the abrasiveness of an otherwise lubricating material. Temperature ranges of (375-425F) as well as high viscosities. Rubberized asphalt has higher occurrence of coking, material separation, and in general, requires a much higher degree of monitoring. The penalty of failure is high... destroyed meters, pumps, tanks and agitation systems etc.

This workshop covers three topics critical in order to pump and meter rubberized asphalt:

Reducing control variability helps optimize setpoints to save energy and improve quality, but also help to keep variables very close to the values used in modeling control.Better performing field instruments, control systems and control algorithms help reduce variability, but the characteristics of digital control systems, process noise and other disturbances still cause considerable variability of all kinds of control loops.This paper demonstrates how using Fieldbus control in the field reduces variability when compared with control in the DCS, with Fieldbus or even with 4-20 mA.

Model predictive Control of Neutralization reaction reduces RM cost in a chemical plant

Muscatine plant produces chemical herbicides. In one of the production steps, an intermediate is reacted with a base material to produce a final product.The neutralization reactor pH control loop output provides a base material flow set point. There are two input streams to the reactor which control the demand for the base material. MPC loop was created to control reactor pH using two disturbances and one manipulated variable, flow rate of the base material. MPC model was created using built-in DeltaV MPC tools. MPC loop has reduced pH variability resulting in $500k in cost savings

Sun Coke Energy Shines Radar Beam & Connects $230K/yr Maintenance Cost Savings w/ Improved Product Quality, Increased Efficiency & Reduced Emissions

Sun Coke Energy relies upon heat control for both production of coke and steam that it sells to neighboring plants. Radar was initially installed to replace ineffective and costly ($230K/yr) proximity switches but management quickly realized the full benefits that radar delivered with exceptional heat control. With superior heat control radar now provides, the plant is adding a boiler to utilize the additional ‘realized’ heat reducing fuel usage for the boiler. The coke production process also improved with higher product quality and the stacks now stay closed eliminating emissions.



Process Analytical Technology Short Course

This short course will review how advanced analytical insdtruments including NIR and Raman spectrocopy along with multivariate modeling may be used to improve production quality.

These technologies are used to measure critical quality attributes in real time to directly measure quality attributes rather than relying on laboratory samples.

Instrumentation and End Devices Needed for Improved Boiler Operation

While boilers are critical to plant/mill operation and business results, their performance is often not ideal. Poor combustion results in higher fuel costs and increased emissions. Lack of reliability and response hurts site production throughput and quality. A cause of poor boiler operation is often field devices that are either not present, poorly installed, misapplied, or not functioning as designed. This session will provide guidance on what devices are needed for optimal boiler operation and where they should be placed, as well as preferred technology choices and installation methods.


Solving Flow Loop Control Problems in LNG Plants

Many plants encounter flow loops cycling or unable to follow the setpoint properly. Our examples are from LNG plants, but the same methods apply in other process industries. We show problems isolated to various components of the loop: controller tuning, final control element, process nonlinearities, low-flow cutoffs, control strategy. The most common final control element is a control valve. This presentation shows how to rapidly diagnose and fix problems from these disparate sources. It will be of interest to instrument engineers, process control engineers, and commissioning teams.

Colombin Bel saves money reducing waste production applying Lamda loop tuning to foam production.

Polyurethane foam is a porous plastic material formed by the aggregation of bubbles. It is formed by a chemical reaction of two components, although their formulation needs multiple variants and additives. This reaction releases carbon dioxide gas to form bubbles.The foam is manufactured in a continuous process using a machine called nozzle, which is basically union of several machines. The first machine is a mixer which provides and mixes a variety of chemicals that will react to form the foam. These chemicals are stored far from the mixer and must be pumped through a series of pipes connecting the storage tanks to the mixer. DeltaV is controlling the whole process.As previously mentioned, is a continuous process which involves frequent and online changes from one type of foam to another, with no production stop. The combination of different chemicals and pump efficiencies results in a delay to reach steady state every time the type of foam is changed., This can frequently result in unacceptable quality and characteristics of the foam, and, thus, wasted production.Everyday results in significant wasted production. Raw materials consumption is high and so is the cost to the company. Raul Gil

Saving Your Thermowells: Find out about ASME PTC 19.3TW-2010

With the last ASME standard on temperature measurement created in 1974, Thermowell calculations had outdated methodology and provided incomplete and inconsistent results. Thermowells calculated using the old standard have failed. ASME released a new standard in 2010, ASME PTC 19.3TW-2010, which covers only thermowell calculations. This new standard covers many aspects of thermowell calculations that the old standard didn’t such as in-line vibration, variable Strouhal number and varied geometries. The many improvements in the calculations have led to more reliable thermowells. Emerson Process

Virtualization Technology and Virus Detection

Industrial process control systems connected to the Internet have suffered an increase in cyber security incidents over the past five years. The majority of incidents come from the Internet by way of opportunistic malware infections, viruses, worms, and Trojans. The Internet, with its global reach and rapid delivery times, provides the ideal breeding ground for viruses. This presentation will introduce virtualization technology, its benefits, and propose a method for computer virus detection using virtualization technology.


Engineering is about making assumptions in the early stages of a project and refining these all the way to as-built data to be ready for operations. Unless it is a design reuse case, much data becomes final during the project, either as a vendor is selected and its data becomes available, or during design modification as the project is shaped and goes through the design reviews. Also, changes are made during the checking and verification of the design across disciplines and with the engineering, safety, and operational practices from the client.


Why Develop the System Integrators Scope of Work

Whether you work for EPC Firm or an owner’s organization most scope disagreements occur when one party assumes that the other party will perform a specific scope of work. Sometimes we assume a project will be executed similar to another or we don’t know what scope is who's scope and assume. This workshop is intended to outline a typical system integrator scope of work.

New Technologies Enhance Engineering Productivity

This session highlights proposed improvements to the DeltaV Configuration suite using new software engineering processes and Microsoft technologies. Integrating Human Centered Design with the software development process creates tools that simplify configuration tasks, increasing productivity. Proposed changes target Licensing, Import/Export, and more granular security. In addition, framework-based software allows a more coherent user experience by focusing on tasks; composing applications from reusable regions; and decreased time to market for future features.


What does it take to develop a quality training program?

The Fieldbus Foundation saw a need for quality End User Training, and responded by creating an End User Training Program. Effective training methods and best practices were researched, and leading industry instructors were leveraged for their expertise. From our research, we developed a rigorous certification program for training centers. Now implemented, this program provides End Users with globally available training options. Let us share with you what we believe makes an effective training program. Our lessons learned may be relevant to other types of automation and industrial training.

Taking System Cabinets off the Critical Path for Projects While Reducing Cost

The revolution is underway, and CHARMs are redefining DCS implementations. The flexibility afforded by CHARMs implementation has been realized countless times. However, the availability and flexibility benefits of using pre-engineered system cabinets may not be as well known. This session will outline the three tiers of system cabinets available globally from Emerson and how they can benefit project execution and reduce engineering effort and duration. This approach allows system cabinets to be crossed off of a project's task list early and installation even before the I/O list is finalized.

Throughout the electrical industry, wire & cable management has become one of the most challenging areas of any construction project. In this discussion, we will not only address these obvious challenges, but also discuss some of the other factors that impact the overall costs, and therefore, success, of today’s process control installations. By utilizing the newest Best Practices and innovative products (latest techniques) in wire management, many of the risks that drive projects over budget and behind schedule can be overcome or eliminated completely.


Interface Agreement with Operations: Mapping a win-win strategy

Performing brownfield work at an existing facility adds a level of complexity to design work compared to greenfield work due to the need to have the new work match up with the existing work in a seamless way that is transparent as possible to operations. The necessity for using existing facilities can be problematic if more than one contractor is vying for the same space. An interface agreement with operations is a way to ensure that your design is pre-approved and the facilities you need are reserved in advance making conflicts and misunderstanding much less likely.


Construction Work Package: An Owners Manual for Construction

The traditional method of a contractor issuing a package of engineering drawings and then walking away and calling the job done is becoming a way of doing business “yesterday”. Today’s clients are expecting a much more comprehensive and detailed package of instructions to go with those engineering drawings in having their facility built or expanded. A Construction Work Package is such a document.

Manuel Hernandez


Valve Capacities: Why is the Tendency to Oversize?

There is a tendency for control valves to be installed with a higher capacity than required for a given application. Oversized valves result directly in increased initial cost, total cost of ownership, weight, and manufacturing time required. The root cause is a design issue created by multiple safety margins, awareness for instrument impact during piping design, and reliance on past practice. By evaluating factors such as fluid velocity, pressure drop, swaging, and realistic flowing conditions, the system may be optimized to select more efficient and cost effective control valves.


From Transactional to Collaborative Execution, An Integrated Work Process that delivers results

Is it possible to integrate work practices between the EPC and manufacture to move away from transactional execution into collaborative execution, leverage best practices and lessons learned, and drive efficiency? YES, and it will reduce project risk while delivering cost, schedule, and quality certainty in today’s cost competitive market! Fluor and Emerson (Fisher and Rosemount Business Units) have developed an integrated project execution model that will reduce project risk, deliver capital projects on time and on budget.

Forward or Reverse – Which direction benefits your modernization project?

Ok, you have decided on a modernization project. Your automation system is 20 to 25+ years old. Do you sit down with PI&Ds (As Builts?) and design a new system or do you take configuration tapes and re-implement 20+ years of coding that is in the system, including workarounds, dead or stranded code, and 80s graphics? Is one direction better than the other? Is there a workable approach in between? We will discuss definitions of Forward & Reverse Engineering, pros & cons of both approaches, & what to do to move your project forward. Real project examples & results will be discussed.


Predictive Performance Drives Project and Operational Savings

The complexity and stress of coordinating project schedules and a plant start up are only surpassed by the competitive demands of the global market. Predictive Performance is the combination of technology and operational processes which meet the competitive demands by measured reduction of project risk, increased asset utilization, cost management and business system performance.

This session will describe the collaborative process that not only eliminates start up challenges but also provides the facility staff with the training and tools necessary to ensure reliable lifecycle operations.

This workshop introduces basic principles of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and focuses on foundational knowledge behind the design of an SIS system including calculating PFD average and SIL. This workshop will discuss partial stroke testing of final control elements and highlight the importance of proper SIS implementation to improve plant safety and reliability.

When using SLS, you can be in multiple places at one time. Although installing necessary logic solvers in one panel may seem prudent, it could also disable your safety instrumented system if that panel were to catch fire. With logic solvers installed in separate panels throughout the facility and performing the same function with redundant field I/O, redundancy in space is achieved via secure parameters.

Implementing Measurement Diagnostics in Safety Systems

New advanced measurement diagnostics can be used in a safety system to improve safety and availability. Some diagnostics and guidelines for implementation will be presented.

How is a product "certified" for use in a safety instrumented system? What does this mean, and how do I use this information? Is the FMEDA data the same as in the SIL certificate? Bill Goble, principal partner of exida, will discuss the methods used during product certification to IEC 61508, using the latest analysis of the FIELDVUE DVC6200 SIS as an example.

Taking Advantage of Field Device Intelligence Using the Smart SIS

This case comes from Braskem, the largest petrochemical company in the Americas. The PP plant at Paulinia (Brazil) uses Plantweb and Smart SIS. The experience gained in three years of Operation and Maintenance of this SIS has lead the engineering body to think about the opportunity to squeeze the system’s capability in order to gain reliability and availability of the plant. The integrated diagnostics are the keys to get it, so there are engineering studies running in order to setup the Status behavior of the field instruments and logic solvers. The prioritizations of alarms are going on.

Best Practices for Meeting SIL 2 with Level Measurement Technologies

This paper will provide an overview of the new 2010 revision of the IEC 61508 for Safety Instrumented Systems and its impact on level technologies. Best practices will also be discussed for meeting SIL 2 requirements for remote seal, Guided Wave Radar, Vibrating Fork, and Electronic Remote Sensor technologies.



Improve Your Safety Ratings with Advanced Diagnostics

Pressure transmitters are used to measure pressure, flow, or level in a Safety Instrumented System (SIS). Advanced diagnostics in a pressure transmitter with IEC 61508 certification can be used to detect problems that may prevent the instrument from getting a proper measurement. Use of these diagnostics may increase the detection of dangerous failures, therefore impacting the overall safety rating. If these dangerous failures go undetected, they could impact the ability of the SIS loop to function properly.



Are you compliant with the new API2350 overfill prevention standard?

The new API2350 overfill prevention standard is a game-changer. Although specifically targeted for tank-farms, it is generic and therefore expected to influence the entire overfill prevention industry. It has been developed by the tank gauging industry and takes a new holistic approach to safety and overfill prevention. It recognizes modern technologies such as SIS/SIL (IEC61511) and Wireless. The API2350 committee chairman will explain the standard and describe a 5-step compliance procedure. Generic solutions and best practices for different safety levels and tank types will be presented.

Proof Test Savings via in-situ Meter Verification

Emerson Coriolis meters are widely used in Safety Functions, measuring critical flow and density variables. This paper will present a customer requested work practice change where the wet-calibration required to satisfy the proof test can be supplemented by an on-board diagnostic called Smart Meter Verification. Safety and Availability imprvements along with proof-test cost savings will be shared in actual customer applications. Implications for other work practice changes enabled by SMV in fiscal transfer and ISO compliance will also be shared.

Cargill Simplifies a Complex BMS with DeltaV SIS

Cargill partners with Emerson to replace old relay-based BMS system (black box) with DeltaV SIS. Through the use of the advanced configuration blocks of DeltaV SIS the design of an eight burner carbon furnace was implemented with ease. The design of standardized sequence modules and graphics greatly increased operator awareness of the operating conditions of the BMS. Included in this presentation will be a description of the design philosophy, the configuration standards, the approach to operator graphics, and the ease of integration of the combustion controls.

Safety systems are designed to keep the risks identified in process to tolerable/acceptable levels. The risk reduction provided by the SIS is calculated using the failure data provided by the manufacturer and defined user inspection schedules. Many suppliers provide safety data for their devices which is often validated/certified by a third party but such analysis does not include real world influences and can be an order of magnitude tooaggressive for field devices.

High Performance Valve Actuation for Combined Cycle Power Plants

Non-Fisher Turbine Bypass valves in a Combined Cycle power plant were upgraded to a High Performance actuation package, resulting in improved dynamic performance and quicker maintenance cycles. Plant availability and reliability have been improved, as factory support is no longer required for tuning these constructions. Additional actuation packages have been ordered to upgrade the remaining units.

Modernization of Control Valve Selection in Hydrofluoric Acid Alkylation Units

Traditionally many Fisher A-body valves were used in Hydrofluoric Acid Alkylation (HF Alky) plants. Although the A-body has been a successful valve for these applications, it is an inactive product. Its status as an inactive product results in challenges in constructing new valves, as well as valve maintenance. Fisher partnered with an HF Alky licensor to find a replacement for A-body constructions in HF Alky units. This led to the selection of the Fisher easy-e (EZ type) & the Fisher Vee-Ball. The easy-e can be used for applications up to size 4 NPS. For 6 NPS and larger, a Vee-Ball is used.

Chevron Big Foot: A case study of applying wireless infrascture on a worldscale production and drilling platform.

Offshore drilling and production facilities require radio silence during well perforation activities. Perforation requires explosives to be placed downhole and radio silence must be maintained during preparation and execution. This requirement places unique demands on wireless (radio based ) devices and currently available technology. Complete validation is required/mandated by on-site authorities responsible for both safety and governmental complience. Emerson and Chevron worked together to develop the necessary techniques to meet all guidelines and required proof testing of the technology.

This workshop explores RF behavior, the differences between WirelessHART and Wi-Fi solutions, and details what’s involved in a Plant-wide Wi-Fi RF survey and site assessment.

With all the media attention on the different types of wireless attacks (Denial of Service, Rogue Access Point, Honeypot, etc.), many people are surprised to learn that an industrial wireless network is more secure than a wired network. This paper demonstrates how both WirelessHART and Wi-Fi networks are fully secured using both basic and advanced security features, and how to integrate the wireless and wired security systems. No solution is complete without security best practices.

The Lubrizol Deer Park Facility was looking at how to reduce the installation cost and increase reliability of a new emergency pull station system. They came to Emerson with a request for a wireless solution to monitor each pull station along with the ability to bring the signal into the Delta V control system. The plant personal would then be alerted on Delta V control screens, auditory message systems, and over the radio from the security desk. The system would improve the reliability and lower the cost associated with the installation and monitoring of the emergency pull stations.

Remote Expert Support with Wireless Mobile Voice and Video

If you had a process upset that required an expert or vendor in the process area to resolve, you would get them there in a hurry to avoid lost production. A new wireless high definition video and voice solution is available that can “instantly” put an expert in direct contact with a technician in the process area to see and discuss the problem. This session will show the solution’s capabilities and give examples of the savings realized in providing a field technician real-time access to a remote expert using wireless mobile voice and video communications in a secure wireless network.

Communicating Asset Health to Management with APM

Asset management and reliability program effectiveness is often difficult to communicate to management and vested asset stakeholders. Mine management is challenging and often times mine management relies heavily on reliability engineers and technicians to verbally communicate the health of their assets. Asset Performance Management (APM) is being implemented at Kennecott Utah Copper (KUC) Mine in Utah and is making communicating asset health to management seamless and clear.

Intelligent Device Management Best Practices - Incorporating Device Diagnostics in Daily Maintenance

Intelligent on/off valves, electric actuators (MOV), gas chromatographs, tank gauging systems, along with all other instrumentation do self-diagnostics, reporting problems such as thermocouple degradation, entrained air or flame instability etc., and built-in continuous valve performance to intelligent device management software. But if nobody sees their alerts or check it, self-diagnostics is useless. This is a problem faced in many plants. This workshop will explain how to deploy the digital plant architecture or upgrade, the required engineering work, philosophy changes, and procedures


AMS implementation at the Valero Wilmington Refinery

Utilizing the AMS ValveLink diagnostic functionality the maintenance group scanned critical control valve assets to determine overall asset health. 253 critical control valve assets were identified as scheduled for repair. The AMS ValveLink Diagnostic software indicated 225 of these critical assets were in good working order and did not need to be pulled for repair.

Using wireless technology for an integrated approach to asset reliability.

Blandin Papers is utilizing the combination of SMART WiHART technology and DeltaV to build an integrated approach to their paper machine reliability program. The IEC 62591 WiHART technology provides a flexible and cost effective solution for continuous monitoring of machine condition. The 9420 vibration transmitter with PeakVue technology has been able to reliably diagnose rotating equipment bearing faults and alert operations and maintenance earlier than previously possible. The technology integration has been named a “Best Practice” by Blandin Paper’s parent UPM-Kymmene.

Using AMS Machinery Manager and 6500s to diagnose remote asset issues

This session will discuss how critical assets spread across geographically distant locations can be monitored and diagnosed for maintenance issues and machinery failures from a central location.

How to integrate predictive diagnostics, a structured works practice and business system information to create an effective asset management solution

Manufacturers are pressured to improve performance of assets while managing limited resources. While plants have benefited from predictive technologies and maintenance management systems, they have lacked the ability to apply this information to drive improvements in maintenance performance. This session will highlight how to combine these technologies to create an asset management solution.

Critical Assets are only as reliable as their Power Supply - Why adding Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) to the Main Asset Management System

Most electrical and instrumentation projects in Petroleum and Powergen include a UPS to protect mission-critical systems and processes (eg Personnel Safety, Emergency Lighting, SIS/F&G/DCS, and offshore Helideck/Navaid/Position Thrusters) from the risks of poor quality electrical power and power interruptions. Although the UPS represents only ~ 7-10% of a typical Automation budget, the prospect of this Critical Asset failing to work when required is unimaginable. Condition Monitoring of the UPS with predictive diagnostics in the Asset Management environment is the answer.

Clamping down on Steam Condensate Loss - Using the Pipe Clamp Sensor at a Brewery

The Anheuser-Busch Brewery in Ft. Collins has a steam condensate system that includes a condensate tank, a vapor condenser, and a reclaimer. Condensate is collected throughout the brewery from many systems. An upstream thermowell measurement was picking up additional heat from the vapor condenser and giving inaccurate readings the to control system, which ultimately caused the control valve to be constantly open and chemicals to be lost to the atmosphere. A 2” Pipe Clamp Sensor was installed. As a result, the system rarely loses chemicals to the atmosphere.


Unlike Foundation Fieldbus, enabling AMS on an operating refinery is not automatic for 4-20mA HART based instrumentation. A number of steps have to be manually completed correctly for each analog point to prevent unwanted process upsets. The preferred time to activate AMS is on a turn around. However modern turnaround cycles can be up to eight years, therefore in order to reap the benefits of AMS, refiners need to enable AMS while the unit is in operation. This paper will cover some of the issues, benefits, and unexpected results that can occur when enabling AMS on an operating process unit.


Improve management of Severe Service valve assets in today's power plant

The power industry has changed significantly over the last 10 years. The industry has moved from the traditional base load plants to a mix of including peak load combined cycles plus stand alone CT’s and renewable technology. Control valve applications in the combined cycle plants are particularly severe especially in plants experiencing daily start/stops. This mode of operation presents issues specific to thermal cycling, water hammer, flow accelerated corrosion, cavitation, erosion and noise. Emerson can help customers better manage control valve assets in these challenging applications.

Precise Device Configuration - Selecting the Right Tool for You

Asset management software, field communicators and local operator interfaces are the three primary configuration tools available in the industry. Depending on the user's protocol, device type, automation environment and staffing resources, each of these tools can provide a different range of value, or headache. This workshop will focus on helping users choose the best configuration tool for their applications to improve efficiency and performance while reducing costs.


Have it your way - Integrating valve diagnostics in your plant

Control Valve reliability is critical to maximizing plant throughput and operational effectiveness. Recent state-of-the-art developments in current maintenance and tools have now made it possible to perform advanced valve maintenance and troubleshooting with mobility and ease of integration never experienced before. Whether a single valve repair during an unplanned event or with hundreds of valve repairs during a shutdown, the speed and ease at which repair and validation can be completed and work documented in your asset management software is important.


Good regulatory control performance is crucial to maintain safe operation, minimize operating cost, and enhance revenue. Saudi Aramco has implemented a plant-wide control performance monitoring system that is closely integrated with plant operations/maintenance workflow processes, KPI (key performance indicator) dashboards, and alarm/asset management systems to significantly improve overall performance of the entire plant control assets. This comprehensive approach tackling regulatory control and control assets simultaneously has so far reaped enormous economic benefits for the plant.

Essential Asset Monitoring Keeps UT-Austin Out of a "Pickle" at PRC

Traditionally, process plants were built with the minimum amount of instrumentation,only that which was necessary to safely operate.Only the most expensive assets were deemed critical enough warrant monitoring and protection systems.However, many of these unmonitored assets are still essential to safe and profitable operation. The AMS Asset Graphics Essential Asset Monitoring Suite installed at UT-Austin's Pickle Research Center provides useful insight into the health of essential assets. Operators can now see the health of pumps, blowers and heat exchangers without leaving the control room.

Using creative and innovative solutions to ensure higher fieldbus system availability

Fieldbus runs smoothly and reliably in modern process plants; however users try to deal with real-life fieldbus problems in same manner as classic 4-20 mA, including the unpredictable, such as water ingress in junction boxes, loose wire strands causing an intermittent earth fault, or wear of surge protectors. Recent safety-related protocols place even higher demands on fieldbus system availability. New technologies and concepts can monitor the fieldbus physical layer by pushing monitoring from the control room into the field, where it becomes an integral part of the fieldbus installation.

Conditional Based Monitoring on Three Column Gas Chromatograph

Gas Chromatograph (GC) is used to measure gas composition of natural gas. The result is used as input for other calculations such as calorific value (CV), density, compressibility etc. As gas is traded based on its CV, its accuracy becomes critical. GC is a repeatable device, however there are issues associated with it. If the valve timing setting is wrong, it can give systematic error. Valve timing can also drift, and this will also affect measurement. A live test proved that undetected error can contribute up to 1.4% of error in cv and valued to more than £300,000 of error per month.

The Importance of Shaft Centerline - Turbine Start-Up Case History

When a rotor system with hydrodynamic bearings changes speed or load, the stiffness and damping characteristics of the bearings are also modified. As a result, changes in the average radial position of the shaft will also be observed. Primary and secondary mahinery malfunctions such as misalignment can produce significant changes in the rotor's radial position within the bearings. These changes in radial position can be directly observed via the shaft centerline data plot. This presentation will examine a real world case where shaft centerline data was used to correct misalignment.

System Health Monitoring - Just What the Doctor Ordered

Emerson’s System Health Monitoring solution enables customers to effectively manage DCS system assets. A modern DCS system consists of COTS components integrated together. A typical system includes workstations, switches, firewalls, controllers, etc. Often these critical DCS components receive less focused maintenance than their process asset counterparts. This is due to lack of resources, technical skills, and lack of emphasis on these asset types. As a result, control systems run the risk of asset downtime or impairment, which can result in extra expenses, lost product, and downtime.

Leadership in SHE for achieving Manufacturing Execution Excellence

Many companies say they are ‘safety focused’ but really don’t put safety first. Without a true safety culture and proper systems in place then safety becomes a fad and is not practiced actively throughout the organization. If a company lives and breaths safety from the top down ,then over time they will see progress not only in safety but also in quality and other areas of manufacturing. The combination of a behavior based safety culture coupled with validated Safety Instrumented Systems is the key for manufacturing execution excellence.

Justifying automation projects is critical for approval, since automation must compete with other projects for capital. Benefits need to be identified and the financial gains determined. However the justification process is difficult. This workshop focuses on identifying automation benefits and financial justification methods. Covered topics include: Identifying areas to look for automation, operational review methods, overcoming obstacles, financial improvement estimation rules-of-thumb and methods, financial analysis of obsolete equipment replacement, and example automation benefits.


There are many challenges in deploying a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) in a re-usable manner. As MES systems are integrally intertwined into the manufacturing environment, there are many drivers for requirements coming from validation, manufacturing, operations planning, warehouse operations, inventory management, and finance. These many separate instances tend to drive site-specific compromise solutions that are difficult to drive across a broad organization. The cost impact of single point solutions can often make MES very difficult to justify a very valuable manufacturing tool.

The DeltaV function block palette can be daunting at times, as there are as many methods of programming as there are programmers. For example, a CALC block can be used with complicated structured text to accomplish a variety of actions. However, what if there was an easier way that requires only one block? Or what happens if you need status with the CALC block? Will an ACTION block do just the same? What about graphics? Are there blocks in the palette that can drive graphical items? Sometimes the difference between working smarter and working harder is a simple matter of education.

The Benefits of Design using DeltaV CHARMs I/O - An EPC's Perspective

For offshore oil & gas facilities, space utilization and weight control are important factors that must be considered in the detailed design phase. The control system is not exempt from these criteria as it directly and indirectly contributes to space usage and weight. The use of DeltaV with CHARMs technology for a major offshore project has proven the fact that both space usage is optimized and weight can be kept in check. In addition, engineering time and effort required to design a CHARMs-based control system is substantially reduced as opposed to a traditional I/O based system.


Backup & Recovery: Your Economic Last line of Defense

Today’s production processes are heavily dependent on computer systems where any system downtime can result in huge production delays and cost over runs that will impact your bottom line. In case of a system crash,time is money and having the ability to bring your workstations online quickly and efficiently can protect your production investment. Eli Lilly discusses their decision process, justification and business benefits of having the DeltaV System backup and Recovery Solution on multiple systems in their plant.


Interface with Electrical : Hardwired vs Bussed : CHARMS provide an answer

At Shell Iraq, Emerson proposed the CHARMS technology for hardwired interface for all electrical drives in the plant .CHARMS were located in Interposing cabinets eliminating the cables , reducing footprint and allowed for extensive testing of the interface panels off site. This was achieved by using DI & DO type of CHARMS . The segregation was achieved in a manner enabling deliveries to be met without compromising on any of the technical needs. This resulted estimated savings to the tune of 10% in engineering hours for interface design and savings in CAPEX to the tune of USD 100 K.

VIRTUAL MARSHALLING WITH FF TECHNOLOGY

Virtual marshalling means signals from devices are brought to the right place in the control strategy only using software. There is no hardwired marshalling to I/O cards. As an EPC contractor, "Virtual Marshalling" aspect of fieldbus is very important. This has not been given much attention before.Virtual marshalling used in conjunction with H1 interface cards with integral power supply, eliminates the need for marshalling cabinets drastically reducing system footprint.

Alto Parana migrates a 1000 ADT/day pulp mill’s control system in record time

Alto Parana is a pulp mill located in the province of Misiones, in Argentina. In 1996 was acquired by Arauco, one of the largest forestry enterprises in Latin America. The plant produces 1000 ADT/day. This application consisted in the upgrade of the mill’s control system from Provox to DeltaV V11.3 in the Digestion, Bleaching and Delignification areas. This was achieved by reverse engineering from a very old Provox version, Proflex 4.1. The complete system size is about 2,500 points.


As SCADA moves into the world of IT the quality of the specification is even more important. Over 80% of IT projects worldwide fail to deliver, and the majority can be traced to poor specifications. The specification is probably the most important part of a SCADA system A good specification will ensure that you get the functionality you require, at a reasonable price within a reasonable timescale. A poor specification may result in you getting something very different than what you expected, and paying far too much for it. Learn eleven rules to follow when developing a "good" specification

Producing copper concentrate easier, faster and safer: Minera Los Pelambres journey to the Digital Plant

Minera Los Pelambres (MLP) is a copper deposit located in the IV Region in Chile and produces 400 Ktons/year of copper and 10 Ktons/year of molybdenum. In 2005 MLP decided to expand the plant’s capacity and making the operation more secure adopting new technologies. In 2010 the migration process begun and the HMI Bailey operation stations were replaced for DeltaV stations. In this application, MLP tells the two year journey that allowed, by migrating to DeltaV, reaching those goals and to keep exceeding them.


Minera Los Pelambres applies Advanced Process Control with MPC in the mining process in copper extraction

Minera Los Pelambres is located 200km north of Santiago and is one of the top ten copper mines in the world and produces 400 tons/year. This application describes the migration from an existing separate system to a system linked with the plant’s control system DeltaV through the addition of APC modules. Due to the complexity of the task, the migration was performed in two stages; the first one was from the legacy control system to traditional PID modules, and the second one, to MPC for regulatory control of the SAG mill and the ball mills.


Most are aware of the features of the DeltaV Continuous Historian for recording process data. What isn’t as widely known is the ability to manually enter data into the historian, and have the timestamp be specified by the operator. We have been able to get rid of all of our dry erase boards, daily hand-written reports, and filing cabinets with the use of the DeltaV Continuous Historian. Operators are able to enter process events and laboratory results into the historian, and this information is then stored for their retrieval at any time.


DeltaV Communicates with a JENE “BACNET to ModBus TCP/IP” Gateway.

Crude oil has about a 0.1% water content once delivered.

This water must be removed (crude tank water draw) to prevent over-pressuring in the crude units.

Several methods exist. However, a simple and familiar system was desired. Therefore, mass flow meters were used to measure density and control water draw flow.

Replacing Mechanical Flowmeters Improves Measurement Reliability and Uncertainty; Reduces Operation Costs

Positive displacement (PD) meters are a proven, generally accepted method for metering gas. Before the advent of flow computers they were the only option. Many remain in service. They are subject to wear causing reduced accuracy and high maintenance costs and low reliability. This presentation will define the improvement in flow measurement uncertainty and reliability in custody transfer applications by replacing PD meters with Conditioning orifice plates.

Optimize Your Batching when Faced with Raw Material Variations

Faribault Foods is a contract canning company serving the Food & Beverage industry. One of the products they make is refried beans, a challenging product since naturally occurring variances in raw materials require precise batching to create a final product of consistent quality. Historical use of volumetric meters for batching resulted in final product viscosity variances which required time-consuming rework and reduced plant throughput. Converting to Coriolis meters eliminated problems caused by density variation in the primary ingredients, reducing rework and improving plant thru-put.

Measuring The Viscosity & Density of Drilling Fluids & Hydrofrac Gel

The density & viscosity properties of drilling fluids & hydrofrac gels are very important to the oil & gas industry. Accurately measuring these parameters on-line & in real time would allow wells to be drilled & hydrofrac'd more effectively, faster, with better safety, & with less waste. However, these parameters are difficult to measure on-line. This workshop will document the development & testing of a new type of nonNewtonian viscometer designed to handle these difficult fluids & process conditions. This instrument system may become an important new Emerson product.


LyondellBasell Uses Coriolis Meter Verification to Reduce Risk of Lost Production in Custody Transfer

Custody transfer of 9-12 MM lbs of ethylene per yr is made, so the accuracy of the supply metering was critical. The previous supplier used technology with an uncertainty of 0.75%, but LYB was able to offer +/-0.35% with Emerson Coriolis.Even with an installation cost of approximately $320,000, the payback time was only 4 months due to the spot market price of ethylene. The meter was pulled for calibration in Oct 2011 (2 yrs after install) and found to have -0.06% difference from a lab prover. Use of advanced diagnostics (Smart Meter Verfication-SMV) gave them confidence of great results.

Micro Motion 2-Wire Coriolis Delivers High Accuracy With Low Installation Costs at BP Refinery

Hydrogen usage in refineries has gone up substantially to make cleaner fuels.Two new high pressure hydrogen lines were installed at a BP Refinery with accurate metering at a reduced cost. An added benefit was the ability to allow BP to check their billing meter to insure they are getting what they pay for. A Micro Motion 2-wire Coriolis meter was used on their fluid feed for the hydrogen desulfurization and hydrocracker units to enable high accuracy and wide turndowns without the need to run power wires to the installation site. The 2-wire meter saved at least $50,000 in installation.

The Flowmeter Formula: Selection Criteria for Flow Applicaitons

With advancements being made in flow measurement technology, the decision of which flow meter to use has become increasingly more complex. When does ‘Installed Cost’ take preference over ‘Reference Accuracy’? When do ‘Permanent Pressure Loss’ and/or ‘Energy Costs’ need to be the critical priorities? All of these questions affect the decision of which flowmeter is right for your specific application.


This paper outlines a three year effort to resolve a long-standing issue with flow measurement in a compact manifold assembly. Key to the effort was developing a method that allowed installation of a conditioning orifice plate in a 15" F2F 4" 2500# spool piece. Collaboration between the customer, LBP and Emerson resulted in an elegant, drop-in replacement spool that met and exceeded expectations.

Protecting Critical Pumps to Increase Safety and Keep your Plant Running

Liquid pumps are the heart of every plant. Whether it’s for cooling or heating, conveyance of product to a reactor or a billable material to a tanker, when a pump stops bad things happen. Routine maintenance can extend pump life just as exercise strengthens a heart; but it can’t eliminate failure risk. If we had a 24/7 alert mechanism to predict heart failure before it occurred we’d use it. Pumps have characteristic warning signs that tell us failure is imminent and the mode of failure. Proactive monitoring is the equivalent of your plant’s medical alert system to prevent unplanned shutdowns

Refinery Saves Over $220,000 on Claus Process with Updated Pressure Instrumentation

A major refinery in Europe had struggled with getting accurate DP measurements that were critical for operating and controlling a 3-stage Claus Process that was used for Sulfur Recovery. Existing instrument installations were maintenance intensive, unreliable, and constantly put the processing unit at the risk of a costly shutdown. Emerson professionals worked with the refinery automation engineer to upgrade the pressure instrumentation to the Rosemount 3051S Electronic Remote Sensor System which resulted in over $220,000 in maintenance savings and avoided shutdowns.


Improving Refinery Fired Heater Safety using Advanced Pressure Diagnostics

Maintaining stable combustion is critical to the safe operation of fired heaters. A sudden change in fuel gas composition can cause the combustion process to go unstable or even flame out. Pressure transmitters with Advanced Diagnostics can monitor pulsations in the furnace draft pressure associated with unstable combustion. Data from a burner vendor test furnace can be used to determine an operator alarm limit indicative of flame instability. Operators can utilize the alarm to validate proper operation of their furnace, and ensure continued safe operation.

Steaming on Quality? How Advanced Diagnostics can measure Steam Quality

Steam is used in many applications from refining, to oil production, to heat distribution. The quality of the steam (ratio of vapor to liquid) directly relates to the amount of energy available. Steam quality cannot be measured directly, and traditional indirect methods of measuring steam quality are slow, labor intensive, and sometimes dangerous. Pressure transmitters with Advanced Diagnostics can be used to estimate the steam quality on-line. Field test data shows successful estimation of steam quality in the distribution system on an oil field employing steam flooding technology.

Improve Efficiency and Reduce Downtime with Advanced Pressure Diagnostics

Advanced pressure diagnostics provide users the ability to detect abnormalities in process conditions and the electrical loop. Example problems can be plugged impulse lines, furnace flame instability, pump cavitation, or water in the terminal compartment. Diagnosing these conditions can generate a HART alert or 4-20 mA alarm, allowing for proactive maintenance. Additional device functionality is also accessible with diagnostics. This short course provides an overview of the diagnostics offering, application uses, interoperability with host systems, troubleshooting tips, and customer benefits.

Due to the high velocities and low temperatures involved, traditional thermowell designs could be easily damaged or even fractured. We describe the non-intrusive temperature measurement solution utilized.

Electrical power loops communicating between measurement devices and a host system can be compromised by water in the transmitter, corroded terminations and failing power supplies. Degraded loops cause on-scale errors and inaccurate readings in the control system. A new capability for pressure transmitters enables customers to proactively detect conditions that corrupt the electrical loop integrity. This allows plant maintenance prevent erroneous readings to ensure reliable measurement and improve safety.

Top-down Wireless Measurements with DP Level Technology: Probe Seal

There is an unmet market need for a quick, reliable yet basic top-down level device with wireless capability for remote non-critical applications. A top-down pressure-based level technology would require the seal and sensing element to be fully submersed in the level process in order to make a measurement. Rosemount has designed a solution to do exactly that. While traditional DP Level technologies are connected from side mounting flanges, this new approach allows oil-filled capillary systems to reach new applications that require a top-mounted system.

SIL3-certified 2-in-1 Radar redefines tank gauging best-practices

There is no longer a compromise between safety and accuracy in tank-farms. With the all-new 2-in-1 Radar Level Gauge both custody-transfer grade level measurement and overfill prevention can be performed in the same unit. And it’s certified according to IEC61508 for SIL3 safety-loops. Having a single unit considerably reduces cost – fewer device types, cables, and a single tank-penetration. Continuous measurement for both level and overfill can be used for delta-evaluation or “24/7 proof-testing” which reduces proof-testing intervals.

Mission Possible: Measuring Cryogenic Liquids

When heavy gasses are liquefied measuring their level is difficult due to their extreme temperature and pressure, changing density and low dielectric properties. Several technologies have been tried to measure level including conventional guided wave radar. However, all devices have failed to make the measurement. Accurate and reliable level measurement was needed on a cryogenic reflux drum so the process could run continuously. The Rosemount 5300, advanced guided wave radar, met the challenge and has allowed ExxonMobil to run this unit without a trip for 8 months.

Restoring Civil War Submarine Using pH and Conductivity Measurements

In 1864, the H.L. Hunley Civil War submarine was the first ship capable of maneuvering completely underwater. It sank off the coast of South Carolina, only to be raised 136 years later. Rosemount products were used as part of the restoration efforts which included corrosion control. This workshop will provide a brief history of the submarine; then an in depth discussion about the restoration tank measurements and related common industry applications. Examples will include pH and conductivity for corrosion control in equipment such as cooling towers and boilers.

How Much Is Another Measurement Worth?

What is the economic value of a new measuring device in a process plant – a new analyzer, a more accurate flow measurement, an additional temperature or pressure measurement, etc.? Excluding the minimum set of measurements required to safely operate the plant and meet regulatory requirements, how can additional measurements be economically justified? Plant engineers are often presented with this issue. In this presentation a framework is presented to quantitatively address this subject and examples from the process industries are used to illustrate the procedures developed


Save Your Assets - Increase Pump Life with Advanced Diagnostics

Pressure transmitters with Advanced Diagnostics provide the ability to detect abnormalities in process conditions such as pump cavitation. Plant personnel at Eka Chemical in Howard, WI were able to utilize this technology to determine when their pumps have gone into cavitation. The use of this knowledge allowed Eka to introduce a variable speed drive feedback controlled by the diagnostic signal. This control loop reduced the amount of time their pumps spent in cavitation, extended the life of the pumps, and potentially reduced their process water usage.



Early Warning of Distillation Column Flooding Using DP Transmitter Advanced Diagnostics

Producers who use distillation columns use various techniques of advanced control logic to keep them running. Temperature and/or differential pressure measurements are monitored to balance mass and energy flows. Often these act as “idiot lights:” they detect that the column is in some advanced degree of flooding rather than warning that flood is imminent. Using Advanced Diagnostics, the column could be pushed to near flood condition to increase efficiency and plant throughput. Praxair and Emerson have partnered to test this technology on a full scale commercial column.

Highly Reliable Chemical Injection Systems

To have confidence that chemical barriers are being deployed effectively, it is important to understand the volume of chemical being delivered to each injection location over time. Such data helps production chemists and corrosion engineers verify that sufficient dosage has been delivered for the chemicals to be continually effective. Historically, periodic manual readings of injection rate were taken for this purpose but there are significant benefits that can be captured through more accurate, real time monitoring.

Increasing Profitability through Effective Monitoring, Targeting, and Reporting of Energy Consumption

Monitoring, Targeting, and Reporting (MT&R) is a proven energy management strategy typically yielding 5-15% savings of energy costs. The strategy combines technical, behavioral, and organizational components to form a complete, sustainable energy program. The scope includes effective and robust data collection, energy consumption tracking against multivariate statistical or semi-empirical process models, and effective reporting, communication, and visualization of energy performance. The paper shows how to effectively design, implement, and maintain an MT&R system in a large industrial site.


Over the past two decades, performance monitoring of regulatory control loops has been well emphasized in control theory. While the research community has developed the means and identified KPIs, Process Industries can be credited for proactively applying these principles and realizing the benefits. This session covers a customized DeltaV Insight control performance monitoring strategy used at Nexen, Long Lake (72,000 bbl/day SAGD facility with an integrated heavy oil upgrader). The discussion will cover KPI selection, loop prioritization, criticality ranking & report generation.

A “virtual” instrument is a computed value, based on a collection of actual measurements, to measure something as if an actual instrument were there. These virtual instruments can be as simple as inferring a tank’s outlet flow by computing the change in level or as complex as inferring a flow via mass balance. Come see how our plant uses a variety of these virtual sensors to corroborate actual measurements, provide real time ‘calibration’ of actual sensors, or perform the function of a primary instrument. The why's are addressed, but the focus is on the implementation of these sensors.

Well Control and Optimization In ROC and Floboss with Production Manager and F

Rubberized Asphalt is considerably more difficult to pump and meter than standard grades of asphalt. The addition of ground crumb rubber dramatically increases the abrasiveness of an otherwise lubricating material. Temperature ranges of (375-425F) as well as high viscosities. Rubberized asphalt has higher occurrence of coking, material separation, and in general, requires a much higher degree of monitoring. The penalty of failure is high... destroyed meters, pumps, tanks and agitation systems etc.

This workshop covers three topics critical in order to pump and meter rubberized asphalt:

Reducing control variability helps optimize setpoints to save energy and improve quality, but also help to keep variables very close to the values used in modeling control.Better performing field instruments, control systems and control algorithms help reduce variability, but the characteristics of digital control systems, process noise and other disturbances still cause considerable variability of all kinds of control loops.This paper demonstrates how using Fieldbus control in the field reduces variability when compared with control in the DCS, with Fieldbus or even with 4-20 mA.

In one of the production steps, an intermediate is reacted with a base material to produce a final product.The neutralization reactor pH control loop output provides a base material flow set point. There are two input streams to the reactor which control the demand for the base material. MPC loop was created to control reactor pH using two disturbances and one manipulated variable, flow rate of the base material. MPC model was created using built-in DeltaV MPC tools. MPC loop has reduced pH variability resulting in $500k in cost savings

Sun Coke Energy Shines Radar Beam & Connects $230K/yr Maintenance Cost Savings w/ Improved Product Quality, Increased Efficiency & Reduced Emissions

Sun Coke Energy relies upon heat control for both production of coke and steam that it sells to neighboring plants. Radar was initially installed to replace ineffective and costly ($230K/yr) proximity switches but management quickly realized the full benefits that radar delivered with exceptional heat control. With superior heat control radar now provides, the plant is adding a boiler to utilize the additional ‘realized’ heat reducing fuel usage for the boiler. The coke production process also improved with higher product quality and the stacks now stay closed eliminating emissions.



Instrumentation and End Devices Needed for Improved Boiler Operation

While boilers are critical to plant/mill operation and business results, their performance is often not ideal. Poor combustion results in higher fuel costs and increased emissions. Lack of reliability and response hurts site production throughput and quality. A cause of poor boiler operation is often field devices that are either not present, poorly installed, misapplied, or not functioning as designed. This session will provide guidance on what devices are needed for optimal boiler operation and where they should be placed, as well as preferred technology choices and installation methods.

Solving Flow Loop Control Problems in LNG Plants

Many plants encounter flow loops cycling or unable to follow the setpoint properly. Our examples are from LNG plants, but the same methods apply in other process industries. We show problems isolated to various components of the loop: controller tuning, final control element, process nonlinearities, low-flow cutoffs, control strategy. The most common final control element is a control valve. This presentation shows how to rapidly diagnose and fix problems from these disparate sources. It will be of interest to instrument engineers, process control engineers, and commissioning teams.

A Major Oil and Gas Producer (Chevron, note no approval on using the Chevron name yet) acquired an aging shale gas production through an acquisition. Following the lead of the previous production company is was quite apparent that some form of automation and or SCADA would be required to optimize the production and lower the operational cost. Without these necessities the production in this shale field wasn’t exactly a “good fit for the company’s business model.”

Demand for Comprehensive Process Simulation is increasing. The ability to provide dynamic process simulation has been established using MiMiC Simulation Software. Implementations involving Advanced Modeling Objects are at the forefront of the Emerging Dynamic Global Engineering. From chemical & oil refineries to powerhouses, the use of AMOs has been successfully confirmed as the best approach to achieving a reliable simulation process model. This session will cover several implementations of AMOs & discuss the best practices for the planning and design of dynamic real-time process simulators.

Colombin Bel saves money reducing waste production applying Lamda loop tuning to foam production.

Polyurethane foam is a porous plastic material formed by the aggregation of bubbles. It is formed by a chemical reaction of two components, although their formulation needs multiple variants and additives. This reaction releases carbon dioxide gas to form bubbles.The foam is manufactured in a continuous process using a machine called nozzle, which is basically union of several machines. The first machine is a mixer which provides and mixes a variety of chemicals that will react to form the foam. These chemicals are stored far from the mixer and must be pumped through a series of pipes connecting the storage tanks to the mixer. DeltaV is controlling the whole process.As previously mentioned, is a continuous process which involves frequent and online changes from one type of foam to another, with no production stop. The combination of different chemicals and pump efficiencies results in a delay to reach steady state every time the type of foam is changed., This can frequently result in unacceptable quality and characteristics of the foam, and, thus, wasted production.Everyday results in significant wasted production. Raw materials consumption is high and so is the cost to the company. Raul Gil

Saving Your Thermowells: Find out about ASME PTC 19.3TW-2010

With the last ASME standard on temperature measurement created in 1974, Thermowell calculations had outdated methodology and provided incomplete and inconsistent results. Thermowells calculated using the old standard have failed. ASME released a new standard in 2010, ASME PTC 19.3TW-2010, which covers only thermowell calculations. This new standard covers many aspects of thermowell calculations that the old standard didn’t such as in-line vibration, variable Strouhal number and varied geometries. The many improvements in the calculations have led to more reliable thermowells. Emerson Process

Virtualization Technology and Virus Detection

Industrial process control systems connected to the Internet have suffered an increase in cyber security incidents over the past five years. The majority of incidents come from the Internet by way of opportunistic malware infections, viruses, worms, and Trojans. The Internet, with its global reach and rapid delivery times, provides the ideal breeding ground for viruses. This presentation will introduce virtualization technology, its benefits, and propose a method for computer virus detection using virtualization technology.


Engineering is about making assumptions in the early stages of a project and refining these all the way to as-built data to be ready for operations. Unless it is a design reuse case, much data becomes final during the project, either as a vendor is selected and its data becomes available, or during design modification as the project is shaped and goes through the design reviews. Also, changes are made during the checking and verification of the design across disciplines and with the engineering, safety, and operational practices from the client.


Why Develop the System Integrators Scope of Work

Whether you work for EPC Firm or an owner’s organization most scope disagreements occur when one party assumes that the other party will perform a specific scope of work. Sometimes we assume a project will be executed similar to another or we don’t know what scope is who's scope and assume. This workshop is intended to outline a typical system integrator scope of work.


New Technologies Enhance Engineering Productivity

This session highlights proposed improvements to the DeltaV Configuration suite using new software engineering processes and Microsoft technologies. Integrating Human Centered Design with the software development process creates tools that simplify configuration tasks, increasing productivity. Proposed changes target Licensing, Import/Export, and more granular security. In addition, framework-based software allows a more coherent user experience by focusing on tasks; composing applications from reusable regions; and decreased time to market for future features.


What does it take to develop a quality training program?

The Fieldbus Foundation saw a need for quality End User Training, and responded by creating an End User Training Program. Effective training methods and best practices were researched, and leading industry instructors were leveraged for their expertise. From our research, we developed a rigorous certification program for training centers. Now implemented, this program provides End Users with globally available training options. Let us share with you what we believe makes an effective training program. Our lessons learned may be relevant to other types of automation and industrial training.


Improve productivity on projects with new 'custom standard' for drawings

Taking System Cabinets off the Critical Path for Projects While Reducing Cost

The revolution is underway, and CHARMs are redefining DCS implementations. The flexibility afforded by CHARMs implementation has been realized countless times. However, the availability and flexibility benefits of using pre-engineered system cabinets may not be as well known. This session will outline the three tiers of system cabinets available globally from Emerson and how they can benefit project execution and reduce engineering effort and duration. This approach allows system cabinets to be crossed off of a project's task list early and installation even before the I/O list is finalized.

Streamlining Control Valve Documentation Delivery Processes on Projects

Documentation systems on engineering projects have evolved from massive paper filing and distribution systems to attribute based databases where numerous documents for engineered equipment can be uploaded, distributed, and searched in a secure environment. These systems serve as the master for the EPC project team and the end user client. Emerson has developed internet based documentation delivery technology to support EPC documentation systems.




Throughout the electrical industry, wire & cable management has become one of the most challenging areas of any construction project. In this discussion, we will not only address these obvious challenges, but also discuss some of the other factors that impact the overall costs, and therefore, success, of today’s process control installations. By utilizing the newest Best Practices and innovative products (latest techniques) in wire management, many of the risks that drive projects over budget and behind schedule can be overcome or eliminated completely.


Interface Agreement with Operations: Mapping a win-win strategy

Performing brownfield work at an existing facility adds a level of complexity to design work compared to greenfield work due to the need to have the new work match up with the existing work in a seamless way that is transparent as possible to operations. The necessity for using existing facilities can be problematic if more than one contractor is vying for the same space. An interface agreement with operations is a way to ensure that your design is pre-approved and the facilities you need are reserved in advance making conflicts and misunderstanding much less likely.


Construction Work Package: An Owners Manual for Construction

The traditional method of a contractor issuing a package of engineering drawings and then walking away and calling the job done is becoming a way of doing business “yesterday”. Today’s clients are expecting a much more comprehensive and detailed package of instructions to go with those engineering drawings in having their facility built or expanded. A Construction Work Package is such a document.

Valve Capacities: Why is the Tendency to Oversize?

There is a tendency for control valves to be installed with a higher capacity than required for a given application. Oversized valves result directly in increased initial cost, total cost of ownership, weight, and manufacturing time required. The root cause is a design issue created by multiple safety margins, awareness for instrument impact during piping design, and reliance on past practice. By evaluating factors such as fluid velocity, pressure drop, swaging, and realistic flowing conditions, the system may be optimized to select more efficient and cost effective control valves.


From Transactional to Collaborative Execution, An Integrated Work Process that delivers results

Is it possible to integrate work practices between the EPC and manufacture to move away from transactional execution into collaborative execution, leverage best practices and lessons learned, and drive efficiency? YES, and it will reduce project risk while delivering cost, schedule, and quality certainty in today’s cost competitive market! Fluor and Emerson (Fisher and Rosemount Business Units) have developed an integrated project execution model that will reduce project risk, deliver capital projects on time and on budget.

Automation Modernization: Rate Your Readiness

How ready are you for your automation system modernization project? Risks abound. This session will explore a tool to measure your organizational readiness to mitigate these risks. Leveraging research by the Construction Industry Institute (CII) a Project Definition Rating Index for Automation Modernization Projects (PDRI-AM) tool was developed to quantify readiness. The easy-to-use tool offers a method to measure project scope definition for completeness. It identifies each critical element in a scope definition package and allows a team to quickly predict factors impacting project risk.


Forward or Reverse – Which direction benefits your modernization project?

Ok, you have decided on a modernization project. Your automation system is 20 to 25+ years old. Do you sit down with PI&Ds (As Builts?) and design a new system or do you take configuration tapes and re-implement 20+ years of coding that is in the system, including workarounds, dead or stranded code, and 80s graphics? Is one direction better than the other? Is there a workable approach in between? We will discuss definitions of Forward & Reverse Engineering, pros & cons of both approaches, & what to do to move your project forward. Real project examples & results will be discussed.


Predictive Performance Drives Project and Operational Savings

When using SLS, you can be in multiple places at one time. Although installing necessary logic solvers in one panel may seem prudent, it could also disable your safety instrumented system if that panel were to catch fire. With logic solvers installed in separate panels throughout the facility and performing the same function with redundant field I/O, redundancy in space is achieved via secure parameters.

Implementing Measurement Diagnostics in Safety Systems

New advanced measurement diagnostics can be used in a safety system to improve safety and availability. Some diagnostics and guidelines for implementation will be presented.

How is a product "certified" for use in a safety instrumented system? What does this mean, and how do I use this information? Is the FMEDA data the same as in the SIL certificate? Bill Goble, principal partner of exida, will discuss the methods used during product certification to IEC 61508, using the latest analysis of the FIELDVUE DVC6200 SIS as an example.

Taking Advantage of Field Device Intelligence Using the Smart SIS

This case comes from Braskem, the largest petrochemical company in the Americas. The PP plant at Paulinia (Brazil) uses Plantweb and Smart SIS. The experience gained in three years of Operation and Maintenance of this SIS has lead the engineering body to think about the opportunity to squeeze the system’s capability in order to gain reliability and availability of the plant. The integrated diagnostics are the keys to get it, so there are engineering studies running in order to setup the Status behavior of the field instruments and logic solvers. The prioritizations of alarms are going on.

This paper will provide an overview of the new 2010 revision of the IEC 61508 for Safety Instrumented Systems and its impact on level technologies. Best practices will also be discussed for meeting SIL 2 requirements for remote seal, Guided Wave Radar, Vibrating Fork, and Electronic Remote Sensor technologies.



Improve Your Safety Ratings with Advanced Diagnostics

Pressure transmitters are used to measure pressure, flow, or level in a Safety Instrumented System (SIS). Advanced diagnostics in a pressure transmitter with IEC 61508 certification can be used to detect problems that may prevent the instrument from getting a proper measurement. Use of these diagnostics may increase the detection of dangerous failures, therefore impacting the overall safety rating. If these dangerous failures go undetected, they could impact the ability of the SIS loop to function properly.



Are you compliant with the new API2350 overfill prevention standard?

The new API2350 overfill prevention standard is a game-changer. Although specifically targeted for tank-farms, it is generic and therefore expected to influence the entire overfill prevention industry. It has been developed by the tank gauging industry and takes a new holistic approach to safety and overfill prevention. It recognizes modern technologies such as SIS/SIL (IEC61511) and Wireless. The API2350 committee chairman will explain the standard and describe a 5-step compliance procedure. Generic solutions and best practices for different safety levels and tank types will be presented.

Modernization of Control Valve Selection in Hydrofluoric Acid Alkylation Units

Traditionally many Fisher A-body valves were used in Hydrofluoric Acid Alkylation (HF Alky) plants. Although the A-body has been a successful valve for these applications, it is an inactive product. Its status as an inactive product results in challenges in constructing new valves, as well as valve maintenance. Fisher partnered with an HF Alky licensor to find a replacement for A-body constructions in HF Alky units. This led to the selection of the Fisher easy-e (EZ type) & the Fisher Vee-Ball. The easy-e can be used for applications up to size 4 NPS. For 6 NPS and larger, a Vee-Ball is used.

Information is gathered from multiple sites along the pipeline. The goal is to reduce regulatory requirements and to extend transmitter calibration frequency. Challenges involved in "pass through" of this data through PLC's and RTU's will be discussed.

Wi-Fi Radio Frequency Site Surveys Demystified

WirelessHART solutions are designed to not require a Radio Frequency (RF) survey. You installed your home Wi-Fi access point easily enough. So what is an RF survey and why would you need one for your plant? Wi-Fi is an unlicensed shared resource and requires your plant’s Wi-Fi to be properly installed so as to not infringe on your neighbors RF space. This workshop explores RF behavior, the differences between WirelessHART and Wi-Fi solutions, and details what’s involved in a Plant-wide Wi-Fi RF survey and site assessment.

With all the media attention on the different types of wireless attacks (Denial of Service, Rogue Access Point, Honeypot, etc.), many people are surprised to learn that an industrial wireless network is more secure than a wired network. This paper demonstrates how both WirelessHART and Wi-Fi networks are fully secured using both basic and advanced security features, and how to integrate the wireless and wired security systems. No solution is complete without security best practices.

The Lubrizol Deer Park Facility was looking at how to reduce the installation cost and increase reliability of a new emergency pull station system. They came to Emerson with a request for a wireless solution to monitor each pull station along with the ability to bring the signal into the Delta V control system. The plant personal would then be alerted on Delta V control screens, auditory message systems, and over the radio from the security desk. The system would improve the reliability and lower the cost associated with the installation and monitoring of the emergency pull stations.

Remote Expert Support with Wireless Mobile Voice and Video

If you had a process upset that required an expert or vendor in the process area to resolve, you would get them there in a hurry to avoid lost production. A new wireless high definition video and voice solution is available that can “instantly” put an expert in direct contact with a technician in the process area to see and discuss the problem. This session will show the solution’s capabilities and give examples of the savings realized in providing a field technician real-time access to a remote expert using wireless mobile voice and video communications in a secure wireless network.
