A post-implementation audit of the environmental, health and safety management information system evaluates how well the software meets user needs and its value to the organization.

Enjoy the benefits of “20-20 hindsight” even before commissioning a new compressor or new compressor controls.

As wireless technologies have advanced, old limits have been overcome and new challenges have sprung up. Further growth is likely to be driven by specific application and cost-reduction needs. <br>

Physical modeling and computer simulation provide insights into the performance of a glass-lined reactor.

Computational fluid dynamics has moved from mainframes to PCs and laptops. Newer and better software lets you conduct analyses not possible before, and regular engineers, not just experts, can now carry out CFD.

Asset owners who integrate the process engineering, operations and business lifecycles of their facilities can improve return-on-capital by up to 4%. Use this virtual-asset model (VAM) to optimize your business assets.

Data alone is not information. Use this model to transform data into vital information for decision making.

Many safety instrumented systems rely on dissimilar redundant field devices, and this can complicate required analyses. These equations will enable field personnel to handle such situations readily.

This article focuses on the regulatory drivers for alarm management, summarizes key practices, and challenges automation vendors to devise new ways to help customers implement more-effective alarm systems.

Follow these nine simple rules to avoid common pitfalls and get better results.
