Frequently Asked Questions About Pipelines
Fugitive emissions are the unintended release of gases or vapors from equipment and processes within industrial facilities. In pipelines, these emissions can arise from leaks or faults in components such as valves, pumps, seals, and connectors. Not only do fugitive emissions pose environmental and safety risks, but they can also lead to operational inefficiencies and regulatory challenges.
Emerson plays a key role in addressing fugitive emissions from advanced monitoring and control technologies to a complete offering of isolation and pressure management valves. By providing solutions that enhance the detection and management of leaks, Emerson helps industries minimize their environmental impact and improve operational performance. Our state-of-the-art equipment and expertise support effective emission control, ensuring greater compliance with environmental regulations and contributing to a more sustainable industry.
Gas chromatography is crucial for pipeline analysis, offering a wide dynamic range (ppm to 100%) and high repeatability. Emerson’s solutions enhance this by providing advanced chromatographs for accurate product quality, process control, heating, and environmental monitoring across refining, power generation, and gas processing industries.
Cybersecurity starts in the field for pipeline operations that have numerous devices located in large, geographically dispersed areas. It is a best practice to apply the principals of Defense in Depth and Zero Trust, with every individual component in a control and measurement system able to protect itself from attack, to ensure greater resiliency. Pipeline operators cannot trust any individual device, network, or computer to remain secure. Each one must be able to defend itself and maintain operations and data integrity throughout any event.
