Emerson Process Management announced the successful first deployment of its Roxar Downhole Wireless PT Sensor System.

On Thursday, 27th February, Cofely Fabricom and Emerson Process Management organised the inaugural “Hands on Valves” day at Fabricom’s valve workshop in Zwijndrecht, Belgium. ### Scroll down for video interviews with organisers, speakers and delegates ### ### Please also see our Photo Report available on FaceBook ### Well over a hundred valve professionals came along, and were treated to a very informative event. The programme included four ‘blocks’, ranging from the traditional presentations (installed base tool, wireless HART, and how to capture and use data), to a walk through the workshop (with stop-off points along the way to discuss safety, smart tools during repairs, diagnostics and quick deliveries), to a round-table discussion on shutdowns to a knowledge sharing session. All these components were very interactive, and delegates were quick to share thoughts and ideas with the presenters and also with their peers from other companies. Indeed, Valve World’s very informal survey showed that this element – being able to interact with colleagues, and learn from each other’s experiences – was seen as exceptionally valuable by the delegates. Further helping to encourage dialogue between delegates were the well-catered coffee and lunch breaks, for which Fabricom had cleared out its entire overhead storage area. The day concluded with a humorous yet passionate presentation by well-known Belgian politician Marc van Peel, who discussed the past, present and future of the Harbour at Antwerp.

Take a look at a typical actuator catalogue and it is hard not to be impressed. Wireless communications, modular actuators, safety systems… manufacturers have put in a lot of time and effort to develop and introduce new technologies. Glancing through yet another glossy brochure, however, the Online Team at Valve World did start to wonder about the practicability of these sophisticated new features.

Emerson Process Management has added more than 4000 service personnel since 2005 and plans to increase its global service staff at approximately twice the industry growth-rate for the next four years.
