Emerson adds liquids proving and batch management to DeltaV FB3000
The existing RTU gains liquids capabilities supported by the Advanced Pulse Module.
The story explained
Emerson announced enhancements to its DeltaV FB3000 remote terminal unit in Austin on 10 November. Liquids proving, batch management and automation extend the existing platform; this is an update rather than the model’s initial launch.
According to Emerson, the Advanced Pulse Module supports proving alongside batch-management functionality. Measurement, control, communications and cybersecurity share one platform intended for hydrocarbon pipelines, gathering systems, terminals and storage assets.
Emerson describes a Zero Trust-centred design and support for phased modernisation. These are manufacturer statements. The announcement provides no service-specific measurement-error figure or customer equipment award, so its capabilities should be assessed against each installation’s requirements.
Why it matters
Editorial analysis: Integrated measurement and batching may reduce interfaces, while meter pulses, valve interlocks and existing SCADA compatibility still require review.
