We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Digital Valve Controllers",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release US $27 million power plant contract signed from
Emerson Process Management, which we summarised at the time by saying "Emerson will modernise the instrumentation, control and electrical subsystems of units 3 and 4 at the Belchatow Power Plant in Poland".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Total automation guarantees 99.7% availability from
Emerson Process Management: "Advanced automation and controls feature in a new state-of-the-art, gantry type loading facility at the Shell Pernis refinery and chemical complex in the Netherlands".
In July 2006, we covered the news from Emerson Process Management
- take a look at Natural gas processing plant goes digital
which says: "Emerson Process Management has been awarded a contract to apply its PlantWeb digital plant architecture to automate EnCana's new Steeprock natural gas processing plant in Canada".
Take a look also at the news release from Emerson Process Management, FPSO vessel to adopt digital control architecture,
as well as Certification improves safety system from Emerson Process Management,
and Control valves aid plant expansion from Emerson Process Management.
