Optimize production and boost profitability while keeping your people safe.
Optimize production and boost profitability while keeping your people safe.
In today’s changing energy market, refiners are under increasing pressure to implement operational flexibility. Emerson’s solutions make it easier for producers to safely meet demand while lowering operating costs, reduce unplanned slowdowns and shutdowns, and adapt to new clean fuels regulations.
Case Study
When Motiva decided to refit its Norco refinery for the 21st century, it called on Emerson to upgrade eight of the facility’s process units. After modernizing, Motiva achieved top-quartile performance by being able to immediately pinpoint reliability problems.
Case Study
Valero relied on Emerson’s automation expertise to upgrade the blending system at its Pembroke refinery in the UK so that it could blend gasoline directly into tanker ships, eliminating the need for costly tank farms and reducing product giveaway.
Case Study
With the help of wireless level measurement transmitters installed on crude and product storage tanks, a large U.S. refinery saved over $1 million by eliminating tank overfills. The refinery also used wireless monitoring to measure heater firebox pressure, improving safety, and further reducing costs.
Case Study
After partnering with Emerson to outfit the diesel stripper in its hydrotreater unit with advanced process control (APC), MOL’s Danube Refinery saw increased diesel and naptha yield worth $600,000 per year as a result of reduced variability—plus another $100,000 in steam savings.
