From Wellhead to Market, Every Barrel Optimized
From gathering lines at the wellhead to cryogenic LNG export terminals on the coast, midstream infrastructure is the indispensable link in global energy supply — and the pressure to operate it better has never been greater. Aging assets, tightening emissions mandates, workforce transitions, and the relentless demand for throughput are forcing a fundamental shift from manual oversight to intelligent, automated operations. Emerson partners with midstream operators to deploy the automation, measurement, and control technologies that turn complexity into competitive performance.
Pipelines
Thousands of Miles of Pipeline. One Unified View.
High-pressure networks, multi-phase fluids, remote compressor stations, and rigid commercial contracts leave no room for fragmented data or reactive management. Emerson's automation solutions unify your entire pipeline network into a single, intelligent system built for maximum throughput, compliance, and safety.

Liquid Storage Terminals
From Tank Farm to Bill of Lading, Fully Automated.
In today's volatile commodities markets, storage terminals can't afford blind spots. Emerson integrates radar tank gauging, precision custody transfer measurement, and terminal automation software into a unified system — giving operators real-time inventory visibility, faster truck and marine loading, and the measurement accuracy that protects revenue at every product transfer.
Solutions for Liquid Storage Terminals
Emerson's end-to-end portfolio of tank gauging, flow measurement, terminal management software, and safety systems eliminates the data silos and manual processes that cost operators time, product, and profit.
Precision Inventory Management and Storage Capacity Optimization
Emerson's radar tank gauging systems replace manual measurement with continuous, non-contact level monitoring — delivering precise volumetric and mass data unaffected by temperature, pressure, or vapor dynamics. Real-time inventory visibility lets operators safely maximize tank utilization and optimize blending and movement strategies without additional capital expenditure.
Tank Gauging
Rosemount radar tank gauging systems deliver real-time, high-accuracy level, temperature, and pressure measurements for custody transfer, inventory control, overfill prevention, and safe storage of bulk liquids.
Tank Pressure and Flame Protection
Integrated tank protection solutions — including blanketing regulators, pressure vacuum relief valves, and flame arrestors — safeguard storage tanks from overpressure, vacuum, and ignition hazards.
Gas Processing and Fractionation
Push Your Processing Plant to Its Optimal Operating Point.
Raw natural gas is only as valuable as your ability to process it. From cryogenic NGL recovery and fractionation trains to amine sweetening and dehydration, every stage of gas processing is a margin decision. Emerson's measurement instrumentation, control valves, DCS, and advanced process control and software give operators the precision and real-time visibility to maximize ethane and propane recovery, cut fuel gas consumption, and keep plants running reliably — all at once.
Solutions for Gas Processing & Fractionation
Emerson integrates precision sensing, advanced process control, and predictive diagnostics into a unified automation architecture built to optimize every stage of the natural gas processing lifecycle.
Real-Time Monitoring and Advanced Process Control
Emerson's Advanced Process Control (APC) uses predictive modeling and high-fidelity instrumentation — Coriolis flow meters, guided wave radar, and gas chromatographs — to push fractionation columns closer to their operational limits safely. Real-time chromatographic analysis dynamically optimizes reflux ratios and reboiler duty to maximize ethane and propane recovery, while smart combustion control, optimized heat exchanger networks, and compressor anti-surge management drive down fuel gas consumption across the plant.
Process Gas Analytical Solutions
Customized process gas analytical systems engineered for LNG, refining, petrochemical, and emissions monitoring applications — integrating gas chromatography, laser spectroscopy, and sample handling for high-accuracy compliance measurements.
Flow Measurement
Industry-leading portfolio of Coriolis, differential pressure, magnetic, vortex, ultrasonic, and multiphase flow meters delivering precise, real-time flow data for custody transfer, process control, and safety across oil and gas operations.
