Emerson Announces New Energy Management Information System
Melissa Larson | May 6, 2015
Emerson Process Management has unveiled Energy Advisor, a real-time energy management information system that automates the process of monitoring and managing energy consumption across mills, plants, and refineries. With real-time, meaningful information about a site’s energy performance, process manufacturers can identify inefficiencies and irregularities and take corrective action, saving on average 5 to 10% in energy costs annually.
In energy-intensive process industries like chemical, metals and mining, oil and gas, pulp and paper, and refining, where energy is often 30 to 50% of their operating expense, these savings can have a significant impact on the bottom line.
Energy Advisor pulls energy data from various sources, including (but not limited to) Emerson’s DeltaV and Ovation distributed control systems, as well as its wireless infrastructure, to provide real-time analysis and historical context. Using Emerson’s unique process models, manufacturers are now able to analyze and compare three critical items: the amount of energy a system is designed to use, what it has used over time, and what it is consuming in the moment.
