LATEST LAUNCHES

Valmet Launches DNAe, Next-Gen Distributed Control System Valmet introduced its next-generation distributed control system (DCS), the Valmet DNAe. The fully web-based process control system comes with a new cybersecurity system architecture, control software and hardware, engineering and analytics tools, helping customers improve efficiency, productivity, sustainability and safety of their operations. Designed to support the work of all process automation user groups, Valmet DNAe was developed with a design philosophy to empower people to perform and collaborate better across the organization. The system provides a common user interface for controls, analytics, configuration and maintenance. Advanced analytics tools enable turning real-time and historical data into actionable insights. The system empowers users to seamlessly run industrial applications on-premises, at the edge server or in the cloud. It features a scalable redundant data platform, granting easy and controlled access to all data. The system architecture is cybersecure by design, with role-based access control, authentication, audit trail and encryption mechanisms for proac tive prevention of cyber threats. valmet.com

Self-Calibrating Electric Actuator from Emerson Fisher Emerson has introduced the Fisher Easy-Drive 200R Elec tric Actuator for use on Fisher butterfly and ball valves. The actuator performs accurately and reliably under the extreme conditions found in many heavy industries, particularly oil and gas installations in cold remote locations. These actuator/valve assemblies increase uptime, improve performance and reduce the risk of emissions posed by gas-operat ed systems locations. The actuator is easy to install

Groth Corp. Announces New Pilot-Operated Relief Valve The Groth Model 16F pilot-operated relief valve offers reli able low-pressure protection in compliance with API 2000 standards for pilot-operated relief valves. Its design prevents fugitive emissions and conserves stored product. The Model 16F pilot-operated relief

valve employs an optional film seat-seal ing technology for superior sealing and offers flexibility regarding snap or modulating action. Features include a main valve that remains tight to set pressure; full open at 10%

and calibrate using the easy-Drive Configurator Software, provided free of charge with the actuator. It operates on 11 to 30 VDC power and consumes less than 0.4 W when in the holding position mode, making it suitable for use in applications without available utility power. Operating in temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C), it eliminates the need for a space heater in all but the most extreme temperature applications. The 200R is an extension of the easy-Drive actuator portfolio, which also includes actuator options for both globe and rotary valves. To learn more, please visit the company’s website. emerson.com

overpressure; modulating action conserves product because valve opening is proportional to overpres sure; soft seats seal tight to conserve product and minimize valve wear, improving reliability; high flow rates min imize pressure drop during relief events. The valve is suited for cryogenic applications. grothcorp.com
