Emerson upgrades DeltaV RTU to standardize midstream energy operations
What happened
Emerson upgraded its DeltaV FB3000 remote terminal unit (RTU) to provide an automation foundation for midstream energy companies. This upgrade adds liquid measurement functionality to the platform, allowing operators to standardize processes across hydrocarbon pipelines, gathering systems, terminals, and storage facilities. The RTU integrates gas measurement, control, communications, and cybersecurity into a single system.
Why it matters
The upgrade addresses a market need for reliable liquids measurement and batching capability in the midstream liquids market. By consolidating critical functions into one scalable platform, Emerson states the RTU helps simplify environments and reduce long-term costs for operators.
