Smart Solutions for Natural Gas
Proven solutions to overcome process efficiency challenges in pressure reducing and metering stations.
Proven solutions to overcome process efficiency challenges in pressure reducing and metering stations.
Digitization can create value across the entire natural gas chain. Emerson’s smart technologies are scalable systems which enable monitoring and local & remote control. They are based on dedicated logic, and create opportunities for asset management, predictive maintenance, optimizing the usage of renewable gas, network reliability and overpressure protection.
These systems consist of a central unit which receives system parameters ( temperature, pressure, flow), processes the data, controls pressure management systems and interfaces with control loops. They can be used at an individual station or at multiple pressure reducing and metering points across the distribution grid. Communication with existing networks is also vitally important for the success of smart grid management.
Most innovation in natural gas production, transmission and distribution is aimed towards smarter management for efficiency and maximum value capture. By incorporating a control unit, programmable smart software and a customizable touch screen interface, Emerson’s Remote Automated Flow (RAF) supports smart management goals. The system is highly scalable providing the ability to automatically manage individual equipment, a complete pressure reducing and metering station or an entire grid.
The use of integrated, scalable and connected solutions allows Distribution Companies to drive operational improvements, maintain optimal uptime, deploy resources more effectively, and enhance system safety for key stakeholders.
Emerson’s automated odorant injection systems help customers meet their natural gas odorization objectives, by improving HSE performance for environmental protection, ensuring local regulations compliance and reducing operating costs.
