Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Scrubbers

S02 scrubbing entails multiple processes that depend on specialized valve technology to perform optimally and meet stringent requirements, such as ISO 90001-2000 and SIL 3. Emerson’s comprehensive catalogue of certified solenoids, pilot valves, angle seat valves, and specialty valves provide critical support for slurry spraying, mist elimination, sludge removal and recirculation pumps. They are easy to maintain and service, ensuring minimal downtime and reliable operation.

Upstream Dump Valve Solutions

Dump valves are key to process control, pressure relief, emergency shutdown and controlling fugitive emissions in upstream oil and gas applications. Emerson’s innovative, all-electric dump valves operate at low power, and offer a zero-emission solution that supports emissions requirement compliance. With simplified design, these valves are ideal for use in low-pressure well sites, separators, scrubbers and other equipment operating in remote, hazardous environments.

Functional Safety

Meet desired Safety Integrity Levels installing industry-certified systems that deliver the compliant and up-to-date safety solutions.

Midstream

Ensuring your crude and gas handling equipment can continuously transfer raw material from well site to transport plant is critical to your success. Harsh conditions, remote locations and variable raw material quality add to the challenge of running an efficient operation. When critical assets break down, Emerson’s redundant control systems safeguard your process and help you avoid complete system shutdown. With our industrial automation and control solution, you can:

• Maximize equipment uptime with high-availability architecture
• Enable reliable real-time control in remote environments
• Identify false alarms that are expensive for the operator
