Smart technologies enable local and remote control and monitoring
Digitization can create value across the entire natural gas chain. Emerson’s smart technologies are scalable systems which enable monitoring and local & remote control. They are based on dedicated logic, and create opportunities for asset management, predictive maintenance, optimizing the usage of renewable gas, network reliability and overpressure protection.
These systems consist of a central unit which receives system parameters (temperature, pressure, flow), processes the data, controls pressure management systems and interfaces with control loops. They can be used at an individual station or at multiple pressure reducing and metering points across the distribution grid. Communication with existing networks is also vitally important for the success of smart grid management.
Pressure Regulation Solutions in Actions
Remote Automated Flow System
Most innovation in natural gas production, transmission and distribution is aimed towards smarter management for efficiency and maximum value capture. By incorporating a control unit, programmable smart software and a customizable touch screen interface, Emerson’s Remote Automated Flow (RAF) supports smart management goals. The system is highly scalable providing the ability to automatically manage individual equipment, a complete pressure reducing and metering station or an entire grid.
Type RAF, NG PRMS Station Controller
The RAF is a natural gas station automation system, allowing automated control for any type of gas station without the need for field intervention by an operator.
