Emerson will present its Floor to Cloud hydrogen (H2) solutions at Hyvolution in Paris, January 30 through February 1, 2024. Emerson will demonstrate how this tailored, scalable approach to automation can improve efficiency and optimize operational performance for projects of any size throughout the H2 value chain.

Visitors to booth L26 in pavilion 4 can view the latest valves, regulators, pressure sensors, industrial hardware, analytics software and other technologies that are advancing the green hydrogen landscape.

Presentation highlights:
Emerson will demonstrate the latest innovations driving H2 production, storage and safety. Using a comprehensive H2 skid display, attendees can see the Floor to Cloud approach in use. Within the display, a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer with field devices, water tank and stack will simulate the production of the gas and feed a smart H2 refueling station. Each step within the process is enhanced by intelligent sensors and automation solutions that deliver real-time data to intuitive software and analyticsSource: EmersonSource: Emerson programs to increase efficiency, lower energy consumption and drive safety and performance.

Emerson experts Jérôme Desmoulières, director of sales and marketing for sustainability and decarbonization development, and Nicolas Marti, business development manager of H2 and alternative fuel solutions, will discuss the key factors necessary to successfully scale-up the H2 economy. All Hyvolution attendees are invited to join the conversation on February 1 at 11:00 a.m. in pavilion 4 at forum 1.

Product highlights:

H2-natural gas blending solutions
Emerson offers a comprehensive and innovative solution for injecting H2 into natural gas pipelines or at specific industrial consumption points. The system includes equipment and instruments for gas metering, pressure and flow control, quantitative analysis, control systems, digitalization, odorant injection and safety assurance. Combined, these solutions increase safety and optimize performance while meeting normative requirements even within the most demanding H2 applications.

Measurement solutions
As the demand for green H2 grows, so does production. One way to create green H2 is through PEM electrolysis. For natural gas distributors and OEMs, H2 presents a unique opportunity, but to be successful, they must achieve production targets. Advanced Measurement Solutions can increase overall efficiency and profitability by reducing labor processes and maintenance costs.

Rosemount pressure sensors

Rosemount pressure sensors for high-pressure applications deliver unmatched reliability and accuracy within the harshest environments. Industry-leading high-pressure capabilities (up to 1379 bar) increase safety and minimize downtime.

TESCOM 26-2000 series regulator and ER5000 electropneumatic controller

Improve the accuracy of fuel dispensing systems while limiting loss. The TESCOM 26-2000 series regulator is ideal for use in pressure filling applications, calibration testing, component testing and product cycle testing. When paired with the TESCOM ER5000 electropneumatic controller, the closed loop system provides extensive data acquisition, removes inaccuracies and offers precise and consistent results.

TESCOM VA valve series

The air-operated TESCOM VA valve series delivers superior tightness within a compact footprint. Designed for liquid and gas applications with operating pressures of 6,000, 10,000 and 15,000 psig/414, 690 and 1,034 bar, the VA Valve Series features a high cycle life and is available with an optional integrated solenoid valve.

Rosemount gas chromatography

Engineered for applications where critical gas measurement is needed, Rosemount sets the standard for gas chromatography and natural gas analysis. Designed for fiscal and custody transfer applications requiring C6+BTU/CV to C9+ analysis with hydrocarbon dew point, Rosemount gas chromatographs (GCs) are equipped with MON software to unlock data and provide greater insight into the GC process and performance. The user-friendly platform gives operators the ability to easily configure, operate and manage the analyzer locally or remotely and can be integrated with standard and customized solutions.

Rosemount Incus ultrasonic gas leak detector

Utilizing four ultrasensitive acoustic sensors, Incus provides the widest overall gas detection range available on the market, with operation up to 40 m (130 ft). The quad sensing heads reliably safeguard your operation using constant monitoring that is unaffected by inclement weather, wind, leak direction or gas dilution or stratification. Incus delivers results even within well-ventilated outdoor environments and within the most extreme conditions.

KTM Series EF1 floating ball valves

In response to the growing demand for safety within flammable applications and environmental requirements to reduce fugitive emissions down to a minimum, Emerson has introduced a groundbreaking advancement in its KTM series EB and series EF ball valves. This innovation comes in the form of a distinctive process ball valve that not only meets the standard for fugitive emission certification but also complies with fire safe test requirements, all within a single, comprehensive design. The new design incorporates a sophisticated spindle seal and body split seal arrangement to guarantee a fire-safe, predefined axial load distribution and a maintenance-free operation. KTM series EF1 floating ball valves are ISO 15848 CO3- and API 641-compliant for fugitive emissions and also meet the fire safe standard API 607 7th edition, making them suitable for a diverse range of gaseous hydrogen applications.

Baumann valve with DVC6200 and actuator

The Baumann line of control valves can be utilized for the control of pressure, temperature, level and flow. The high-performance 24000CVF and SVF designs feature low deadband and hysteresis, high flow capacity, superb control characteristics, tight shut-off and advanced packing systems to meet demanding service conditions. A compact and lightweight design make them ideal for installation in high-density piping systems where space is a premium. Combined with the Fisher FIELDVUE DVC6200 digital valve controller, performance and reliability are monitored online using HART communication to convert two‐wire 4 mA to 20 mA control signals into a pneumatic output to an actuator. A linkageless feedback system eliminates physical contact between the valve stem and the DVC6200. A fully encapsulated electronics system ensures resistance to vibration, temperature and corrosive atmospheres. A weather‐tight wiring terminal box isolates field wiring connections from other areas of the instrument.
