As today's mega trends in the automation and control industry drive toward increased digitalization and electrification, no actuator company is better positioned than Rotork to provide the solutions for tomorrow's needs -- today. As many next generation CCUS technologies emerge, Rotork is here to support your needs, to think differently and enable your progressive technologies to become more efficient, optimized and de-risked. Rotork are market leaders in electric actuation because we have enabled customers to challenge the status quo in valve control. Today, Rotork increasingly supports customers to transition from traditional pneumatic systems to electric, which result in lower costs and greater digital capabilities.
Overview
As engineers across the world look to solve the challenges created by the need to decarbonize hard-to-abate industries, each of the new carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies emerging will need to scale credibly, reduce the cost of carbon dioxide capture from various types of customer sites, and support those unfamiliar with processing plants in their operation, to be successful.
The audience might be familiar with the values that pneumatic valve actuation can bring, which is a traditional form of actuation in many processing plants globally. Attendees might also know the values of electric actuation, too. This presentation aims to provide understanding of the relevant needs of this emerging market and how one form of actuation is presenting itself as a strategic progressive and disruptive solution.
The next generation CCUS market opens the possibility to improve on what was learned from first generation carbon capture plant projects. Rotork is a market leader in electric actuation because we have enabled customers to challenge the status quo in valve control. If your company wants to think differently and challenge the traditional mindset, then Rotork is here to support following this presentation.
