  • Emerson has expanded its DeltaV™ FB3000 RTU to help midstream operators increase custody transfer integrity and confidence in hydrocarbon liquids operations.
  • New proving, batch management and liquids automation capabilities unify measurement, control, communications and cybersecurity within a single platform.
  • Built on decades of hydrocarbon industry expertise, the DeltaV FB3000 RTU provides a proven foundation for standardizing both gas and liquids operations.
  • A cybersecure, scalable architecture helps operators improve operational continuity, reduce lifecycle complexity, and build a resilient foundation for future growth.

AUSTIN, Texas (Nov. 10, 2026) – Global automation leader Emerson today announced enhancements to its DeltaV™ FB3000 remote terminal unit (RTU) technology to provide midstream energy companies with a strategic automation foundation for standardizing liquids operations. New liquids capabilities, proving and batch management functionality will help operators deliver a cybersecure, unified approach to measurement, control and operational visibility, strengthening confidence in critical transactions.

The midstream liquids market has traditionally faced limited options for reliable liquids measurement with proven batching capability. As sparse options have offered limited updates and supply chain and availability issues, pipelines transporting crude oil, refined petroleum products, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas liquids, condensate, specialty chemicals and liquid hydrocarbons have struggled to maintain and prove accurate measurement, standardize and automate processes across assets and facilities and improve cybersecurity standards to meet increasing scrutiny and regulation in the hydrocarbon industry. The DeltaV FB3000 RTU—well-known in the industry for bringing gas measurement, control, communications and cybersecurity together on one common platform—now supports integrated proving and batch management functionality for liquids.

DeltaV FB3000 RTU enhancements help companies standardize liquids and gas measurement, control, communications and cybersecurity on a common platform. Operators can standardize processes across hydrocarbon pipelines, gathering systems, terminals, storage facilities and production assets into a single scalable architecture that reduces complexity, leads to consistent cybersecurity practices and supports phased modernization efforts.

“Many operators continue to manage liquids measurement, control and communications through separate systems that increase complexity and long-term costs," said Aaron Boettcher, vice president and general manager for Emerson’s energy and transportation solutions business. "The DeltaV FB3000 RTU helps simplify that environment by consolidating these critical functions into a single, scalable platform. With Emerson's ability to mobilize local automation expertise around the world, operators can standardize assets, accelerate modernization efforts and position their operations to better adapt to evolving business and regulatory requirements.”

Advanced Pulse Module and proving and batch management functionality in the DeltaV FB3000 RTU help operators improve measurement integrity and streamline operational workflows. In addition, Zero Trust-centered cybersecure-by-design architecture helps protect critical measurement data throughout the custody transfer lifecycle. Global lifecycle support helps oil and gas operators improve performance, better manage maintenance and lifecycle costs and build a flexible, secure foundation for expansion, operational improvements, new product additions, updates and upgrades.
