Automation Systems for the Midstream Market

Maximizing capacity, throughput, and revenue from market fluctuations

Emerson provides midstream oil and gas companies with integrated automation solutions and project execution services for liquid terminals, pipeline operations, and gas processing facilities. Emerson solutions connect the field to the enterprise in real-time to reduce cost, maximize asset utilization, and monitor operational performance.

With the end-user in mind, we will collaborate with OEMs and EPCs, to deliver standardized DeltaV solutions to minimize cost and maximize equipment operations and integrations. Whether you need a full-scale Distributed Control System (DCS), a PLC, or something in between, our comprehensive portfolio offers the scale and flexibility to meet numerous applications and the performance requirements you demand.

Reduce total cost of ownership through early collaboration

By collaborating early during engineering and design studies, we help you define your automation and project strategy goals laying the foundation for a successful project startup and operational excellence throughout your plant’s lifecycle. Our Project Certainty program digitally transforms your project through modern project management strategies, innovative engineering practices, and digital technologies eliminating up to 20%-30% of project costs.

Accelerate project timelines with automated commissioning

Positively impacting the overall certainty of project execution, Smart Commissioning helps automation projects meet strict and shifting deadlines. Commission devices in minutes, not hours with new functionality in the DeltaV DCS and AMS Device Manager asset management software improving device binding configuration, testing, and documentation.

Achieve operational excellence and efficiency with advanced control applications

Get the most from your midstream operations with the DeltaV DCS that delivers superior control with its embedded advanced control applications. DeltaV Advanced Control applications include model predictive control, loop monitoring and adaptive tuning, quality prediction, and constrained optimization allowing you to adjust strategies daily to take advantage of market fluctuations and prices.

Strengthen your operations against cyber threats

DeltaV gives you a new level of confidence and protection from cybersecurity threats by being one of the only systems to have a top-to-bottom cybersecurity certification. DeltaV v14 is certified ISASecure SSA Level 1 and IEC 62443 compliant, demonstrating validation by an accredited third party that Emerson developers are trained to write secure code and the system as a whole is hardened against emerging cyber threats.

Take a modern approach in managing regulatory compliance

Regulations are changing especially around emissions for storage and pipeline owners. By establishing deeper visibility into your processes and capturing valuable data logs that create the traceability, you have taken the first step in addressing compliance. Electronic shift and maintenance logs, leak detection system performance analysis and audit trail, and operator training records all inform data collection activities for compliance audits.
