Improve Plant Mass and Energy Balance
Reduce losses, improve efficiency, and minimize energy consumption.
Reduce losses, improve efficiency, and minimize energy consumption.
Mass and energy balances that track the overall percent losses of input and output streams are commonly used to benchmark the performance of a plant. It is not uncommon to find overall plant balances for very large chemical complexes to be in the poor to average range of about ± 1.5 to 2%. One contributing factor is due to shortfalls in measuring all of the critical input and output streams. Emerson can help audit what is throwing off your mass and energy balance calculations, and offers a wide range of flow measurement solutions to help increase production, and reduce costs and losses.
Julie Valentine explains how Emerson enables refiners and petrochemical plants to optimize fired heater combustion control.
