Emerson recently launched a new solution for dust collector monitoring and control. Automating dust collection monitoring is an effective way to optimize filtration, noted the manufacturer, ensuring environmental compliance, reducing costly maintenance, and avoiding expensive unplanned downtime.
The intelligent, easy-to-deploy solution also integrates seamlessly with existing plant automation systems, helping to extend dust collector equipment life and boost overall operational efficiency.
“With this world-class and easily implemented solution, we aim to help our end users achieve greater operational efficiencies and gain valuable insights that reduce reactive maintenance, lower the risk of downtime, minimize energy consumption, and extend equipment life while addressing the knowledge gap by providing easily accessed information for operations personnel,” said Samuele Oliva, product marketing manager for dust collectors and alternative energy with Emerson’s discrete automation business.
Intelligent monitoring and control can significantly reduce maintenance costs and the total cost of ownership. Smart filter cleaning can minimize energy costs and compressed air consumption. Detecting and identifying failed filters helps avoid regulatory penalties. Furthermore, extending filter life by as much as one year can result in savings of up to $18,000, according to Emerson.
Emerson offers a portfolio of essential elements necessary for high-performance dust collectors, including mechanical and automation products such as ASCO pulse valves, pilot boxes, and air tanks; pressure and particle concentration sensors; basic sequencer controllers; AVENTICS air flow sensors; Movicon HMI/SCADA visualization interfaces; and PACSystems PLC, I/O, and edge analytics.
