New General Manager for UK and Ireland

The economy in the UK is facing difficult

times and as businesses and consumers look

for savings, every company in the process

industry will be exploring ways to increase

efficiency, maximise throughput and control

costs. Emerson can help your company

achieve its business objectives by upgrading

to the latest digital based plant architectures

and software solutions.

As a leading global supplier, Emerson

provides products, services, and solutions

that measure, analyse, control, automate,

and improve any process-related operation.

Our team offers unmatched capabilities to

improve process and asset performance for

customers in the power, chemical, oil and

gas, pulp and paper, pharmaceutical, food

and beverage, water and wastewater, and

other process-related industries.

Irrespective of the industry you operate

in, energy costs are probably a significant

factor in your company’s operations and in

this volatile market the power generation

industry has to optimise plant performance

to remain competitive.

Emerson has provided the power industry

with revolutionary control solutions for

more than 40 years. We can help you control

critical power generation processes, increase

plant efficiency and megawatt production,

realise long-term O&M savings, and

dramatically decrease the C&I construction

costs of new power plants.

Our systems control thousands of

megawatts of electricity from all types of

power generation facilities and virtually

every manufacturer of heavy equipment.

Emerson delivers the widest array of

advanced instrumentation, control,

and automation technologies available

from any supplier. Powered by Ovation,

our PlantWeb® network of predictive

intelligence lets you detect problems

before they affect your process. PlantWeb

It is with great pleasure that I introduce

myself as the General Manager for the UK

and Ireland, taking over from Mark Dutton

who I would like to thank for his leadership

and direction during the past three years.

I would also like to congratulate Mark on his

appointment as Vice President & General

Manager, Daniel Measurement & Control

Europe.

I have joined Emerson at a challenging time.

However, I cannot recall a single year in my

thirty plus years in the C&I industry where there

wasn’t a challenge to overcome. Starting in

the UK offshore business back in the 70’s, each

year brought new and exciting opportunities.

Some were tougher than others, but I cannot

ever recall a single “easy” year!

In the 90’s, as I moved into general

management, I experienced my first real

recession. Customer investment strategies

were prolonged to cope with the downturn in

customer demand, and a credit squeeze was

put in place by the banks. Does all this sound

familiar?

The current world economic problems are a

step change away from the early 90’s but I’m

sure the current climate is causing you, our

customers, many issues. My experience is that

by taking care of our customers and providing

great service - whilst

understanding our

customers needs by

being close to them,

will always see us

through.

Emerson’s Smart Wireless technology

is helping E.ON UK to accurately monitor

and measure treated water usage at its

Kingsnorth dual-fired power station.

Using Emerson’s Rosemount® wireless

transmitters, E.ON is now able to collect flow

measurement data from new flowmeters

installed throughout the turbine hall. The

self-organising wireless network delivers the

data for trending in an OSIsoft PI historian

which helps personnel monitor water usage

within the system.

“E.ON is keen to adopt the very latest

technology to help improve productivity,

efficiency and availability, and wireless

technology provides the ideal networking

solution to access the flow measurement

data from the turbine building without

having to install new cabling.“ said Chet

Mistry, Team Leader, E.ON UK.

The turbine hall at Kingsnorth is around

500m long and presents a difficult working

environment for wireless as it houses large

turbines, vast amounts of metal piping and a

number of metal walkways that could interfere

with the wireless signal. Such an environment

would not be suitable for a line of sight wireless

solution, but Emerson’s Smart Wireless

self-organising technology encountered no

problems in terms of routing data back to the

gateway or reliability of connection.

With Emerson’s self-organising technology,

each wireless device can act as a router for

other nearby devices, passing messages

along until they reach their destination.

If there is an obstruction, transmissions are

simply re-routed along the network until a

clear path to the Smart Wireless Gateway

is found. All of this happens automatically,

without any involvement by the user.

Fourteen Rosemount wireless transmitters

are transmitting flow measurement data

every fifteen seconds to an Emerson Smart

Wireless Gateway, situated in the main

administration building on the other side of

the road from the turbine hall. The fourteen

transmitters took around two hours to

configure and then less than six hours to fully

install within the plant. In contrast a wired

solution would have taken between one and

two weeks to complete.

“We were initially a little sceptical of

the claims made for wireless especially

considering the environment we would be

placing it in. But installation was quick and

easy and we just switched them on and they

all worked,” said Simon Lark, C&I engineer,

E.ON UK.

Smart Wireless Technology Enables E.ON to Monitor Treated Water Usage

Emerson’s Smart Wireless technology is helping E.ON UK to accurately monitor and measure treated water usage at its Kingsnorth dual-fired power station on the Medway Estuary in Kent.

The high cost of wiring associated with a conventional cabled solution and a desire to embrace the very latest networking technology, led E.ON to evaluate wireless technologies that could meet their needs.

In environments that rely on critical

mechanical equipment, any failure can have

a dramatic effect. With so much at stake,

having the correct protection, prediction,

and performance monitoring system in place

is essential.

The new CSI 6500 Machinery Health™

Monitor is the latest advancement in

Emerson’s online machinery health

management capabilities. The CSI 6500

allows users to combine protection modules

from the CSI 6000 Machinery Health Monitor

(previously seen in the CSI 4500) in a

single chassis. Together with performance

monitoring, and fully integrated to a process

control system, this is the complete turbo

machinery solution.

The CSI 6500 provides continuous

monitoring of parameters such as thrust,

shaft vibration, speed, and expansion to

help eliminate the possibility of catastrophic

failure. In addition, prediction monitoring

will detect the early signs of vibration,

efficiency and deviational changes.

The CSI 6500 fully complies with the

requirements of the American Petroleum

Institute’s (API) 670 globally accepted

definition of industry best practices for

turbo machinery protection. The CSI 6500

sends real-time supervisory and vibration

parameters to operators. If operators adjust

the process or a process upset occurs,

operators see the live impact of these events

on the machine’s health.

Technology in action

Applications for the CSI 6500 include steam

turbine generators, gas turbines, boiler feed

pumps, compressors, turbo exhausters,

blower boosters, condensers and chillers.

The CSI 6500 is the ideal solution for plants

where there is the need to replace the

existing protection system, while taking

full advantage of the benefits of predictive

diagnostics.

The CSI 6500 will:-

• Increase throughput, availability and
