Emerson Supplying Digital Control Valves Worth $7.4 Million to Olefin Plant in Taiwan

Emerson Process Management is fulfilling a contract received from Formosa Petrochemical for Fisher digital valves to be installed at olefin OL3 plant in Mai Liao, Taiwan.

Emerson will supply 1150 Fisher control valves with the Fisher FIELDVUE digital valve controllers. The largest Fisher anti-surge valve, a 24x42" FBT with an optimized anti-surge actuation system to stroke the valve with 23-7/8" travel within 2 seconds, will be supplied.

The use of Fisher digital valves in critical applications, and in the maintenance of the plant, will help to address Formosa's concerns in meeting both local governmental and international regulations on the environment, and will enable predictive monitoring of the processes and digital valve performance, supporting proactive maintenance that addresses problems before they become issues affecting plant performance.

Formosa OL3, the largest ethylene plant in the world, is capable of a full production capacity of 1,100,000 tons per year.
