Press Release: Emerson wireless technology safely monitors temperatures in railcars at Croda Inc.

Emerson's smart self-organizing wireless network provides continuous monitoring for early detection of potentially hazardous rising temperatures in railcars at Croda plant

AUSTIN, TEXAS (September 10, 2007) – Emerson Process Management has successfully applied a Smart Wireless Solution to the problem of monitoring rising temperatures in railcars containing chemicals at Croda Inc, an international specialty chemical manufacturer. No matter where the railcars may be positioned at the Mill Hall, Pennsylvania, plant, a wireless temperature transmitter on each car sends minute-by-minute temperature readings to a central host. Croda uses this information to improve the performance and safety of their facility. In this way, Emerson's wireless system contributes to overall plant safety, making operators aware of any unexpected temperature rise, while saving the company about $15,000 per year in reduced maintenance.

Normally, three railcars are remotely located on-site. Since the railcars are frequently moved, hard wiring of temperature sensors was not practical. Previously, an employee had to climb to the top of each car once a day to check the temperatures and record each reading. This was a time-consuming procedure that during wet or icy conditions presented a fall potential.

The wireless temperature transmitters are quickly and easily installed atop a railcar upon its arrival at the site, and they remain there until the car is about to be removed. The wireless communications pass through a 1420 gateway (receiver) and on to the plant's DeltaV™ control system. While the operators watch for rising temperatures, transmitter performance is simultaneously checked by Emerson's AMS™ Suite: Intelligent Device Managerhttp://www.plantweb.com/, which will alarm if a transmitter ceases to operate or performs erratically.

According to Denny Fetters, Instrument and Electrical Designer for Croda, "Emerson's wireless solution not only saves us time and money, since plant personnel no longer have to monitor those railcars daily, it has also greatly enhanced the overall safety of the plant and our personnel. We are pleased with the performance of the Rosemount® transmitters and Emerson's self-organizing wireless network. No matter where a railcar is positioned on-site, the quality of the transmissions is unaffected, and the signals integrate seamlessly into our control system."

Emerson's Smart Wireless solution is an extension of the PlantWeb® digital plant architecture, combining highly reliable, smart monitoring devices with wireless transmitters and a Time Synchronized Mesh Protocol (TSMP) communications technology. This innovative self-organizing network, which automatically adapts as device points are added or removed, has been extensively tested in real-world environments.

About Croda
Croda Inc is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Croda International Plc, a U.K.-based manufacturer and world-wide supplier of oleo and industrial chemicals. Croda Inc is part of a global network and offers one of the widest ranges of chemical specialties, surfactants and high purity lipids available to the Personal Care, Home Care and Functional Specialties, Health Care and Manufacturing Industries.

Press Release: Emerson and RCS announce wireless corrosion transmitter

New high-speed corrosion transmitter is a seamless element of Emerson's Smart Wireless solutions and integrates with AMS™ Suite: Intelligent Device Manager for asset optimization

AUSTIN, TEXAS (September 10, 2007) – Emerson Process Management and Rohrback Cosasco Systems (RCS) of Santa Fe Springs, California, are jointly introducing the new RCS Microcor Wireless Transmitter for high-speed communication of corrosion rate data. The new transmitter is the culmination of more than a year of cooperative development and testing between Emerson, a global leader in wireless solutions for the process industries, and RCS, the market leader in corrosion monitoring products and services for the process industries.

The new RCS wireless corrosion transmitter integrates with Emerson's Smart Wireless offerings. Corrosion information from the Microcor device is available for use in the automation system where it can be logged, trended, and analyzed along with other process information. Corrosion data is also available in AMS™ Suite: Intelligent Device Manager software, widely used in the process industries for device configuration, calibration, and documentation and predictive diagnostics. This extends the predictive diagnostics coverage of AMS Suite to corrosion, enabling a predictive approach by users that reduces maintenance costs, prevents unexpected shutdowns, and optimizes plant assets.

The wireless corrosion device is based on RCS's Microcor® technology and will provide corrosion rates in any process media at speeds approaching real time. Real time corrosion rates can be used by operators to detect a spike in corrosion, control inhibitor injection, and correlate with other process data for root cause analysis to reduce operating costs, extend asset life, and extend the time between shut-downs.

The RCS wireless transmitter will work as a node in a self-organizing network with other Emerson Smart Wireless devices, or it can be configured as a part of an independent network of corrosion monitors. Smart Wireless solutions are an extension of Emerson's PlantWeb® digital plant architecture that integrates the highly reliable wireless data with DeltaV™ and Ovation® digital automation systems and AMS Suite predictive maintenance solutions.

"We have chosen to work with industry leading suppliers to develop wireless field devices that are both best-in-class and meet open standards," said Craig Llewellyn, president of Emerson's Asset Optimization Division. "RCS fits this profile and is fully committed to the WirelessHART standard, which we support. Users of Emerson's PlantWeb architecture and the AMS Suite can take advantage of predictive intelligence from third party devices that best meet their operating needs."

"We see wireless corrosion solutions as the ideal response to unique process challenges, particularly in the oil and gas industries where the reservoirs in mature fields are yielding an increasing cut of water and other corrosive compounds," said Brent Ford, CEO of Rohrback Cosasco. "The assets through which these materials flow are often aging, susceptible to corrosion, and not easily adapted to hard-wired online systems. The ideal solution to prevent failures due to corrosion in this environment incorporates wireless corrosion transmitters working in conjunction with a reliable data transmission and processing system like Emerson's Smart Wireless."

Emerson's Smart Wireless solution is an extension of the PlantWeb digital plant architecture, combining highly reliable, smart monitoring devices with wireless transmitters in an innovative self-organizing mesh network that automatically adapts as device points are added or removed, or obstructions encountered. The network, which uses Time Synchronized Mesh Protocol (TSMP) technology, has been extensively tested in real-world environments.
