Operate and Manage

Nail a Speech – Launch a Career Dave Beckmann, Emerson The problem: Peter Drucker, business analyst extraordinaire, has said it well, “As soon as you move one step up from the bottom, your effectiveness depends on your ability to reach others through the spoken and written word.” Indeed, being able to put one’s thoughts into words and communicate effectively may be the single most effective way to launch a career. Yet, the average engineer has little skill in this area. Most engineers deploy the “Death by PowerPoint” method whereby they do a data dump on an increasingly bored and disengaged audience. The result is often a stalled career, a lost sale, or missed opportunity to have one’s project funded. The Solution: Through the use of time honored speaking techniques, the speaker can retain the attention of the audience, communicate clearly his or her ideas, and elicit action from the hearers. This presentation will outline the methods and techniques required to produce hard hitting and effective presentations. The Result: Attendees will have the tools and the knowledge to prepare and deliver effective presentations. Ideas can now be clearly communicated, audiences will respond, and careers launched.

Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook Dave Beckmann, Emerson Peter Thiel, the billionaire venture capital investor who was the founder of PayPal and the first investor in Facebook, in his recent book “Zero to One” says this:

“Every moment in business happens only once. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. And the next Mark Zukerberg won’t create a social network. If you are copying these guys, you aren’t learning from them. Of course, it’s easier to copy a model than to make something new. Doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But every time we create something new, we go from 0 to 1.The act of creation is singular, as is the moment of creation, and the result is something fresh and strange. Unless they invest in the difficult task of creating new things, American companies will fail in the future no matter how big their profits remain today. What happens when we’ve gained everything to be had from fine-tuning the old lines of business that we’ve inherited? Unlikely as it sounds, the answer threatens to be far worse than the crisis of 2008. Today’s ‘best practices’ lead to dead ends; the best paths are new and untried.”

At this year’s ECI Users Exchange, we will be exploring how your company can break free from the confines of straightjacket bureaucracy and begin to innovate in ways few companies are trying. Our goal will be to equip you to be a change agent to move your company from Zero to One. Our journey will show us how most companies do the wrong thing by consolidating the business decisions to the corporate offices during the difficult times. The common knee jerk reaction for most companies is to begin cost cutting through product R&D cuts, travel restrictions, early retirements, and layoffs. The result is less customer contact, poorer service and falling orders. Instead, research shows that: Building Trust, Increasing Smarts, Employing Teams, Designing Tasteful Products, and Telling Your Story, produce winning results regardless of the market conditions.

This presentation describes how to create (build) an effective and sustainable program using ISA-18.2’s alarm management lifecycle (the blueprint) and DeltaV’s alarm management capabilities (the tools). It shows how following the program will allow you to address common alarm management issues (alarm overload, nuisance alarms, alarm floods, incorrectly prioritized alarms) and create a control room environment that maximizes operator performance, improves process safety, and drives operational discipline. Includes discussion of how tools like DeltaV Analyze, Mosaic, DeltaV Analyze, Alarm Help, SILAlarm and capabilities like conditional alarming, alarm shelving, and alarm flood suppression can be leveraged.

Alarm Management Principles & Best Practices (0.4 CEU) Todd Stauffer, Exida Operator response to alarms is a critical layer of protection to prevent a plant upset from escalating to an incident. Application of alarm management best practices can help increase operator productivity leading to optimized production and less unplanned downtime. This training class provides an overview of the alarm management basics and then does a deeper dive into Alarm Philosophy, Alarm Rationalization, and Advanced Alarming (alarm suppression). The content of this class is based on current industry best practices, the EEMUA 191 guideline, the ISA-18.2 standard, and ISA-18.2 Technical Reports. Attendees will learn how to:

Create an effective alarm philosophy document

Leverage the alarm suppression capabilities of DeltaV V13

Determine what points should be alarmed

Rationalize alarms to ensure every alarm is meaningful to the operator, prioritized consistently, and documented thoroughly (cause, consequence, corrective action, time to respond)

Account for the similarities and differences between alarm rationalization and process hazard analysis (PHA)

Establish alarm set points based on design constraints, operating boundaries, and safe operating limits

Treat system / instrument diagnostic alarms and alerts

Improve the operator response through the use of alarm shelving (manual suppression), and alarm response procedures (DeltaV Alarm Help)

It’s Hit the Fan, So Flush Meaningless Alarms Using Alarm Flood Suppression John Rezabek, Ashland The period after an equipment trip or shutdown is one of the most stressful and challenging times for operators. Part of the challenge stems from alarm floods; when the operator gets more alarms than they can respond to. If unabated, alarm floods can lead to a loss of situation awareness, the missing of alarms, operator error, or an incident. Alarm floods are one of the hardest alarm management issues to solve. This presentation will discuss Ashland’s journey to

eliminate alarm floods using DeltaV’s Alarm Flood suppression modules and Exida’s SILAlarm tool. It will discuss the design process (identification of flood scenarios, alarms to be suppressed, trigger conditions), the implementation (how was it configured in DeltaV and tested), the results (feedback from operators), and next steps. John Rezabek John Rezabek began his career with Standard Oil of Ohio in 1981, after receiving a B.S. in Systems Engineering from Case Institute of Technology.

What’s So Special About HIPPS? Tim Herbig, Bluefield Process Safety HIPPS—High Integrity Pressure Protection Systems—are allowed by the pressure vessel code as a substitute for pressure relief systems. To be used, they have to be as reliable, effective, and auditable as a pressure relief system. Otherwise, they are not different from other high pressure Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs) installed in a Safety Instrumented System (SIS). This paper discusses what that means in terms of requirements for a HIPPS and goes on to describe architectures and proof-tests that will meet those requirements. Tim Herbig Tim Herbig has been working in the safety industry for over five years. His interest in safety stems from his long-held desire to help others and his realization that the field of process safety has relatively few resources for those trying to grapple with standards as a secondary or tertiary part of their job description. Tim most enjoys his work when designing safety systems and performing Safety Integrity Level Calculations. He graduated from Missouri University of Science and Technology with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and uses the knowledge he gained in his consulting.

Area Monitoring for Combustible and Toxic Gasses – Increase Safety, Reduce Costs, Improve Reliability Perry Nelson, Emerson Industry has relied on point gas detectors for decades. It can be expensive and impractical to install enough to cover a large area. Ultrasonic Gas Leak and Open Path Gas Detectors were developed to monitor for gas leaks over a large area with only one or two devices. Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detection is an early warning technology that recognizes the ultrasonic noise signature of a gas leak at the onset of the leak. The device monitors a 360o area of up to 80 yards in diameter. Open Path Gas Detection uses infrared technology to detect a gas cloud as it passes between an IR source and an IR detector. The source and detector can be placed up to 200 yards apart. Ultrasonic and Open Path Gas Detection are an efficient and cost effective method to improve the HASOP, increase reliability, and reduce costs.

Measure and Analyze

Emerson Offers the Best Available Technology for Leak Detection Solutions Marc Buttler, Emerson Reliable Leak Detection Systems (LDS) serve a critical function for major pipeline operators in today’s world. Public disgrace and financial exposure are serious consequences if a major leak goes undetected, so leak detection systems need to be sophisticated and sensitive enough to not miss any possible leaks. However, if a leak detection system is too sensitive to external influences and measurement error, it can create false alarms. The consequences of false alarms can be costly and may cause long interruptions in pipeline service while the alarm can be investigated. Lost revenue, down time, late deliveries and mental stress and worry on the part of the crew are some of the undesirable impacts of false alarms, but the most serious consequence is that the LDS threshold usually has to be increased to avoid future false alarms and this increases the risk of undetected leaks down the road. Emerson offers the most complete LDS solutions available anywhere. The powerful combination of the sophisticated Real-Time Transient Modeling leak detection capabilities in PipelineManager software from Energy Solutions International, together with the superior accuracy and sensitive mass flow measurements of Micro Motion Coriolis flow meters and high quality Rosemount pressure and temperature transmitters delivers the best available technology that pipeline operators can employ to guard against disaster. Furthermore, operators are learning how to gain even greater benefit by finding dual purposes for essential leak detection tools that enable them to perform other highly valuable functions, such as check metering, custody transfer, and batch interface detection and control, all with the same equipment.

Custody Transfer Measurement and Calibration Options for Natural Gas with Coriolis Meters Marc Buttler, Emerson The Second Edition of American Gas Association Report No. 11 (AGA 11) (a.k.a, American Petroleum Institute Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards Chapter 14.9 (API MPMS 14.9)) Measurement of Natural Gas by Coriolis Meter explains how to properly use a Coriolis meter for natural gas service. Converting mass into units of standard volume and energy is a simple matter that only requires the base density and calorific value from the composition of the gas. Calibration of Coriolis meters for gas measurement is also described in AGA 11. Certain Coriolis meters offer flexibility of different calibration methods including gas calibration or calibration with alternative fluids like water. Some Coriolis meters offer the option for applying linearization based on as-found gas calibration data to achieve enhanced reproducibility on gas over the full flow rate range of the application. Different priorities factor into the decision of which type of fluid to use for calibration and whether or not to apply the option to linearize the meter output. A comparison of liquid, gas and linearized gas calibration data and consideration for the pros and cons of these methods reveals a path to an informed decision.

Micro Motion Coriolis Meters Improve Combustion Control in Natural Gas Condensate Plant Mike Sylvester, Emerson Marc Buttler, Emerson Fired heaters are used in MarkWest Energy's condensate plant in the fractionation process of natural gas liquids (NGL's). The fuel supply for those heaters comes from off-gas from various processes within the plant. The process control challenge is to maintain stable operation of the burners in the fired heater when the composition and therefore the BTU content changes suddenly. MarkWest installed a Coriolis Meter and a Specific Gravity Meter on the fuel gas to the burner to better control the BTU's feeding the burner. They were able to achieve much tighter control of their combustion, reduced heater upsets and the associated flaring events, saving an estimated $200,000/yr. This paper will discuss the process challenges, project implementation and the results achieved. Mike Sylvester Mike Sylvester is a Senior Field Sales Representative for Emerson Flow with over 25 years of instrumentation field experience in the Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and Northern West Virginia territories. Since 2012, he has gained extensive field experience in the Oil & Gas industry with Flow and Density applications. Mike holds a Bachelor of Science degree with Arizona State University.

Improving Coriolis Entrained Gas Performance for Direct Wellhead Measurement Laura Schafer, Emerson Improvement of Coriolis flow measurement in the presence of gas grants the possibility of significant reduction in capital expenditure and maintenance costs associated with monitoring flow at individual wellheads on a continuous basis, when compared with a test separator or full multiphase flow meter. An algorithm has been developed for mitigation of errors associated with the presence of gas in a Coriolis meter measuring liquid flows. By carefully monitoring (and in some cases managing) flow regimes in multiphase processes, it is possible to significantly reduce measurement errors caused by multiple phases within the tubes of Coriolis meters. Field studies have verified the theoretical bases of the corrections made to multiphase measurements and point towards further improvements to bring cost effective Coriolis measurement directly to the wellhead, as well as to other gas-prone locations. Laura Schafer With over 15 years in upstream oil and gas, Laura Schafer has numerous patents and publications on topics from sand control to multiphase flowmetering. Most recently she has been working with operators around the globe on improving allocation measurement at the wellhead. She holds Bachelors and Masters in Chemical Engineering and Petroleum Refining from the Colorado School of Mines.

Proving Coriolis Meters with Small Volume Provers Tim Patten, Emerson Coriolis meters have many advantages for mass flow and volumetric measurement in a wide variety of applications. Inherent reliability, linearity and stable meter factor (MF) on a wide variety of products make them an ideal choice for pipeline transfer. With the recent introduction of high flow rate meters, Coriolis technology can now be used in line sizes up to 16”. Custody transfer of products is very common in these large pipelines; in many applications contractual requirements dictate that meters be proved in situ periodically to ensure accurate measurement over time and/or product changes. Traditionally, large stationary pipe provers have been employed at metering stations. These provers are large, expensive and take up valuable real estate. Maintenance costs of the complex four-way valve can also be a concern. Small volume “ballistic” or “piston-type” provers are becoming more common because they have a much smaller foot-print and reduced maintenance costs. Even the largest small volume provers are small compared to pipe provers; a large small volume prover has a measuring volume that is as much as 10 times smaller than an equivalent pipe prover. Additionally, small volume provers disturb the flow slightly when the piston launches. Because the measuring volume is small, the rate change created by the prover becomes an integral part of the proving cycle and is measured by the metering device. Coriolis meters are “manufactured pulse” devices. Sophisticated signal processing resolves the vibrating characteristics of the meter, namely phase and frequency, to calculate mass or volume flow rate. The pulse output is generated from the calculated flow rate within the transmitter. The signal processing to calculate the flow measurement, then translate that measurement into a pulse output, takes a finite amount of time. The delay associated with the signal processing must be fast enough such that it properly measures the change in flow created by the small volume prover. The signal processing must also filter the signal noise properly to achieve adequate repeatability (typical API requirement is five consecutive runs within 0.05%). Data will be presented that illustrates the overall performance of Coriolis meters when proved with a small volume prover. Average MF and repeatability results will be presented for a range of flow rates and (small) prover sizes. Recommendations are made to optimize the response time of meters to accommodate the small size of the provers and also how to utilize averaging techniques to achieve acceptable repeatability. Tim Patten Tim has been with Micro Motion for 27 years in various engineering and customer service roles. He has experience with applications as diverse as peanut butter measurement to gas custody transfer and liquid proving. Tim also managed the development of Emerson’s Micro Motion test lab which developed extensive capabilities to evaluate Coriolis meter performance in the wide ranging applications that we serve. Prior to Micro Motion, Tim worked for a compressor manufacturer with a focus on vibration analysis of rotating equipment.

Get More Confidence in Your Flow Measurement! Tom O’Banion, Emerson Come hear about the latest developments in Micro Motion’s Smart Meter Verification suite. Yes, we can now detect coating…

In the flow world, we worry about two things: How do I determine if my meter is healthy and in good physical condition, and is it capable of meeting my accuracy requirements in the actual application? This paper will present the latest improvements to Micro Motion’s Smart Meter Verification, and includes a new focus on Flow Measurement Confidence- is my meter healthy & happy? Is it performing up to expectation under actual process conditions? The new “Measurement Confidence” suite includes dramatically improved abilities to detect coating (and thus volumetric flow verification) and real-life performance under actual process conditions such as entrained gas, pressure swings and the like.

Corrosion & Erosion – Why Should We Monitor It? How to Maintain Facility Performance, Integrity and Reliability Don Miller, Emerson Attend this presentation to better understand the solutions that Emerson brings to the market with regards to Pervasive Sensing Technologies. We have monitoring at the wellhead all the way down to your refining facility. It will cost you more to ignore the situation than it does to know what is going on.

Corrosion and erosion costs the US Oil & Gas production industry more than $1.4B each year according to recent findings by NACE.

36% of all maintenance costs in refineries can be linked to corrosion remediation and repairs as reported by the Saudi Aramco Journal of technology.

This presentation will go over the latest technologies to the Emerson Automation Solutions vast portfolio including several real-world applications on Corrosion & Erosion measurement. Is your facility holding up to expectations under actual process conditions? Justification - If you don’t measure corrosion or erosion, you can’t understand it and if you don’t understand it, you can’t control it nor improve your corrosion control methods. Verify you will be able to maintain the integrity of your process by implementing multiple techniques of asset monitoring – one size does not fit all in this area. The proper points and types of corrosion and erosion measurement will dramatically improve your ability to improve long term performance.

Moving Machinery Protection Ahead of the Curve Joe Doerfler, ECI Critical rotating equipment is traditionally protected by a system compliant with the API670 specification, which provides the minimum requirements to detect and shut down a machine to prevent a catastrophic failure. These assets are often non-redundant and critical to the plants operation. In most cases, operators rely on only this basic information to safely run the asset, but have little or no advanced warning that a fault condition is developing. Advances in protection and monitoring systems have allowed more data to be available to the operator, which allows time to analyze, determine the fault, and schedule corrective actions. Integration of actionable analytical data into existing operator graphics and alarming process can reduce the likelihood of unplanned downtime due to the protection system doing its primary function, shutting down the asset. Joe Doerfler Joe Doerfler is a Sales Engineer for the Reliability Solutions Group at Equipment & Controls with a focus on continuous monitoring systems. Previously he spent 8 years working for Westinghouse Electric Company working in various areas of automation and control modernization in the nuclear industry.

Measure Reliability with Oil Analysis Ray Garvey, Spectro Scientific This presentation explains how industrial plants and transportation fleets measure reliability using oil analysis. Successful lubrication programs use oil analysis to identify root problems and their causes. Four problem mechanisms are explained and examples are given for each: abrasion, fatigue, adhesion, corrosion. Successful lubrication programs use oil analysis results to guide maintenance practices. For these successful programs the oil analysis is a small investment compared with the very large return on investment (ROI) from extended repair intervals, avoiding reactive maintenance, contamination control, and reduced lubricant consumption. Ray Garvey Ray is an engineer and inventor named on two dozen US patents associated with oil analyzers, infrared thermography, machine monitoring, and composite structures. Ray is known for his participation in developing CSI 5100 and CSI 5200 minilabs. Ray received his BS Degree from West Point and MS degree from the University of Tennessee.

Natural Gas Chromatography – Made Easy Bill Frazier, Emerson Prior to 1978, most custody transfer of natural gas contracts was based on the volume of gas being transferred between the parties. In 1978, congress passed the Natural Gas Policy Act that mandated the custody transfer of natural gas based on the energy content, creating the need to determine the energy content of the natural gas at the custody transfer location. An instrument that burnt the gas and measured the heat output of the flame, a calorimeter, was then widely used to determine the energy content. In the mid-eighties, the functionality and reliability of gas chromatographs (GC) began to surpass the calorimeter and the GC eventually took over the energy measurement role to become the most common method for determining the energy content of the gas. This paper will provide an overview of the considerations for online measurement of BTU and how the GC calculates the energy content. It will also show the improvements since the middle 1980’s showing how simple and easy it is to use new Gas Chromatographs today with the advancement of software assistants and better communications – including better efficiency for Calibration Gas and Helium usage. In the simplest form, Chromatography is a Greek term meaning “Color Writing” seen above. Using black ink and drawing the ink upwards on a piece of paper, we form color bands of various pigments and at different rates – thus Chromatography was born. Today we will look at how this is accomplished and how it has been simplified through our advancement of software and software assistants for the non-“GC Expert”. Bill Frazier Bill is the Business Development Manager for Emerson Process Management - Rosemount Analytical Gas Analysis. Bill graduated from West Texas A&M with a Bachelor’s of Science – Geology.

Safety & Cybersecurity: Why is this important? Steve Gandy, Exida The IEC61511-1 standard was updated in 2016, which included a new clause regarding Cybersecurity and how this will impact end users. It has been recognized for some time now that Industrial Control Systems can be susceptible to cybersecurity events, which could have potentially disastrous effects on Safety Instrumented Systems and Basic Process Control Systems. How immune a SIS or BPCS is depends upon how it was designed, its network topology and “openness” to the outside world. Compromising a SIS could result in a loss of protection, loss of production or worse still initiate unsafe or unstable process conditions that could result in an incident. The IEC61511 Committee recognized the importance of protecting

the SIS against cyber incursions and that is why there is a new clause dedicated to this within the standard. Steve Gandy Steve Gandy is VP Global Business Development and Director of the End User Service Business for exida Consulting LLC for Functional Safety and Cyber Security.

Todd Lamb Todd has spent his professional life in sales and management roles delivering full turn-key Open Architecture SCADA Solutions to customers across the Oil & Gas, Water & Wastewater & Other Process Industries. Over this time he has specialized in delineating the differences between distributed “outside the fence” wide area SCADA Systems vs. centralized local area “inside the fence” SCADA systems and why

understanding the characteristics of each merit different approaches to system design in order to ensure High Integrity Operations. Balancing dual civilian and military careers, Todd began “in the field” troubleshooting Aviation Borne Communications systems, later serving as communications security officer (COMSEC) for his military aviation unit. Resultantly he developed a passion for radio technology and he has applied the technical skills that he gained from these experiences toward advising customers on the proper methods for implementing radio telemetry based wide-area SCADA Systems and the distribution of various functions necessary to ensuring the preservation of critical process and commercial data. Todd earned his undergraduate degrees in Applied Mathematics and Business Leadership, and has served in account and district level sales management roles and currently serves as the Western US Regional Sales Manager for Emerson Remote Automation Solutions.

Seeing the Invisible – Hydrogen Fire Alarming with LWIR Thermal Cameras Michael Hrinishin, Industrial Video Control Nitrogen fertilizer plants necessitate the use of hydrogen gas to produce their products. With a very low flash point Hydrogen can easily ignite and due to its unique properties hydrogen fires are almost invisible to the naked eye and other similar visual sensors. Obviously such a flame poses a risk to plant operators and equipment and would need to be identified as quickly as possible. Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) thermal cameras help to alleviate the risk as they are capable of visualizing the flame and its heat flux on nearby equipment thereby alerting plant operators. Michael Hrinishin Michael Hrinishin is a technical sales manager at Industrial Video Control (IVC) and focuses on customer project management. Michael is primarily responsible for evaluating customer video application requirements and recommending appropriate technical solutions. This includes conceptualizing the architecture and components of IVC camera systems. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from the University of Massachusetts, Lowell.

Don’t Get Burned Selecting the Wrong Burner Management System Package! Yves Lafortune, Platinum Controls As drilling and completion rates are increasing rapidly, we are faced with constant cost pressures to reduce the breakeven point of wells. The downturn had the positive effect of looking over every potential savings. Safety, compliance and efficiency are all valid reasons why BMS should be installed, but what is necessary, what is optional? We will spend some time to better understand what should be part of your BMS packages and what innovative ways are there to save money without compromising safety.
