Top 5 Plant Engineering content over the past week covered PPE and electrical risks, condition-based maintenance, oil and gas workforce skills and more. Links to each article below.

1. Select the right PPE to take control of electrical risks

Employers and employees must ensure proper personal protective equipment is in use to keep workers safe and lower risk.

2. Condition-based maintenance keeps a facility up and running

What if there was a way to protect facility assets and ensure little to no downtime of plant machinery?

3. Minimizing the oil and gas workforce skills gap with cloud connectivity

The oil and gas industry is facing a skills gap and companies are integrating industrial Internet of Things cloud-based automation to mitigate this problem.

4. How AI is reducing fugitive emissions in upstream oil and gas

In the quest to reduce methane emissions and improve sustainability in the oil and natural gas industry, the use of artificial intelligence in plunger lift systems is proving to be a promising solution.

5. Considerations for choosing the right flyback diode and rating

There are several important considerations when selecting flyback diodes that can make the difference in reliable design and extending the life span of the system.

The list was developed using CFE Media’s web analytics for stories viewed on plantengineering.com, March 13-19, 2022, for articles published within the last two months.
