INNOVATIONS & SOLUTIONS
SPX FLOW is excited to collaborate with Siemens to highlight cutting-edge digital twin technology at the MxD ( Manufacturing x Digital ) center in Chicago . A premier hub for innovation in manufacturing , MxD is driving advances across industries such as food and beverage , chemicals and batteries . At MxD , SPX FLOW and Siemens are demonstrating the transformative potential of digital twin technology . This technology is further enhanced by industrial 5G connectivity and modular production using software-defined Module Type Package ( MTP ) concepts , showcased through an
SPX FLOW and Siemens collaborate
automated mixing tank with an associated digital twin . This collaboration combines SPX FLOW ’ s fluid processing solutions ( including mixers , pumps , and valves ) and expertise with Siemens ’ IoT connectivity solutions and Computational Fluid Dynamics ( CFD ) simulation capabilities to create a digital twin ( a precise virtual replica of the physical systems ) of an autonomous mixing tank concept . This enables users to design , test and optimise fluid systems virtually , mitigate risks , improve efficiency and accelerate innovation .
InflowControl launches Gas AICV
InflowControl has launched its Gas Autonomous Inflow Control Valve ( Gas AICV ® ). This new technology marks a significant milestone as the world ’ s first autonomous flow control valve specifically designed for gas reservoirs . Enabling gas wells to maintain reliable , stable production and high recovery rates requires focusing on the source of both the opportunity and the challenge : the reservoir . Understanding how to manage unwanted water production from the reservoir is critical to maximise gas production , minimise downtime and improve profitability .
Equilibar expands its FDO series products
Emerson introduces Anderson Greenwood Type 84 PRV
Equilibar has introduced an expansion of products in their FDO series of sanitary fluid control valves as well as shortened lead times for delivery of most existing FDO models . The new sanitary valves for low flow will open up opportunities and expand options for system designers .
Emerson has introduced the Anderson Greenwood Type 84 Pressure Relief Valve ( PRV ), specially designed to protect tanks and vessels used in hydrogen and other high-pressure gas applications . With Arlon ® 3000XT * thermoplastic seating and ASME SA-479 Type S21800 stainless steel spindle material , the Type 84 PRV delivers exceptional leaktight performance , resistance to embrittlement , optimum seat tightness , high reliability , and long service life .
Baker Hughes launches a trio of electrification technologies
Baker Hughes , an energy technology company , has announced three new electrification technologies that will provide enhanced reliability , increased efficiency and reduced emissions for onshore and offshore operations . These technologies , which have implications for both traditional oil and gas and new energy applications , were unveiled at Baker Hughes ’ 25th Annual Meeting in Florence , Italy . The Hummingbird™ all-electric land cementing unit is an industryfirst , 100 % electric solution that replaces diesel engines with gridconnected or battery-powered motors . The Hummingbird ’ s dualpower functionality performs onshore cementing operations with lower emissions and noise levels compared to traditional solutions .
