March 6, 2011 - Yokogawa Corporation of America introduces a new integrated solution for combustion based processes. CombustionONE has been created in response to the overwhelming demands of the refining, chemical, specialty chemical, power, metals and pulp & paper markets where combustion control and combustion management have a more significant impact than ever before. Fired heaters, dryers, heat exchangers, boilers and other pieces of plant equipment pose a serious threat to day to day safety, as well as, represent poor energy efficiency in most cases. Fired heaters, for example, are the largest overall energy consumer in the process industries and represent a tremendous opportunity for energy savings. Fired heaters also present huge safety risks during startup and shutdown.
CombustionONE delivers a value proposition for justifying investments via increased safety, reduced energy costs, improved regulatory compliance and lower asset sustainability life cycle costs. Yokogawa achieves this by combining world class automation technology with process knowledge expertise, applications solutions and on ongoing “wellness management” to keep the production asset alive and well for many years to come.
Craig Ferris, Yokogawa Corporation of America Director of Business Development and CombustionONE Global Center of Excellence Manager said “Our customers have had issues and concerns with combustion centered processes for years. CombustionONE was created to take the many concerns in regard to these processes that have been disconnected and provide a solution that ensures safety, operational excellence, energy stewardship/compliance and ongoing asset sustainability through ONE deliverable from Yokogawa”.
