Plant of the year award
January 1st 2008 The HART Communication
Foundation announced at
the 2007 PowerGen Show
in New Orleans, USA, that
Emerson Process
Management's user,
StatoilHydro, has won the
2007 HART Plant of the
Year award for its project at
the Ormen Lange gas field
in Norway. Emerson's AMS
Suite and field devices are
identified as key enablers
for StatoilHydro's effective
use of predictive
diagnostics for the Ormen
Lange Project.
At this difficult-to-access
North Sea location, online
diagnostics from more than
350 continuously monitored
valves supply critical
information to operations,
maintenance and reliability
personnel, as well as to
experts around the world.
The valves are equipped
with Emerson's FIELDVUE
DVC6000 digital valve
controllers. Through AMS
Device Manager with the
ValveLink SNAP-ON
application, a component of
Emerson's PlantWeb digital
plant architecture, online
diagnostics warn of
pending valve problems,
save troubleshooting time,
and minimise unnecessary
personnel trips into
potentially hazardous areas
to check status. More articles from Emerson Process Management: |
