The HI 8100IS and the HI 8200IS are high-performance weighing instruments (photo) designed to operate in all Classes, Divisions and Groups in accordance with U.S. Underwriters Laboratories (UL), American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and CAN Standards. Both instruments feature two…
The first Zone 2 Ethernet gateway for this company’s excom I/O system, the new GEN-3G excom gateway (photo), brings signals from Zone 0 at high data rates to the control system. For the first time, all process data can reach…
The new Sitrans LR100 series 80 GHz radar transmitters (photo) are compact instruments with a narrow beam for flexible installations in existing vessel openings or even non-intrusively through plastic vessels. The transmitters’ 80-GHz frequency delivers robust, reliable measurements even in…
With lithium demand higher than ever, processors are increasingly turning toward emerging technologies and new resources for lithium extraction. A new California-based project launched by Controlled Thermal Resources (CTR; Imperial, Calif.; www.cthermal.com) and Lilac Solutions (Oakland, Calif.; www.lilacsolutions.com) aims to…
Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL; Upton, N.Y.; www.bnl.gov) and the University of Delaware (Newark; www.udel.edu) have designed a catalyst capable of selectively removing oxygen atoms from the side chain of an aromatic compound without affecting the ring. The team…
Industrial crystallization processes are widely used in the chemical process industries (CPI) for their ability to separate and purify products in a single step, often to greater than 99.9% purity. Crystal growth proceeds after nucleation, a molecular aggregation process whereby…
Thanks to a patent-pending sealing concept, the new Compabloc+ heat exchanger (photo) ensures safe operation with no risk of media leaks at pressures up to 60 bars — representing a 20-bar increase over previous Compabloc models. The sealing concept is…
Launched in March, the E2HR Series Electro-Hydraulic Rotary valve actuators (photo) feature a very small installation envelope for¼-turn valve-actuating applications. All hydraulic components and sensors are integrated into a single compact manifold block that also houses the actuator and integral…
The LiquiSonic Lab 3-in-1-sensor (photo) is designed for reactors and small plants in laboratories and technology centers. Directly flanged into the reactor lid, the device monitors sonic velocity, attenuation and temperature with high precision. LiquiSonic sensors can be used for…
After four years of development, this company is now launching a new ozone-generation technology that solves many of the drawbacks associated with conventional O3 technologies. The new O3 generator (photo) features a flat-plate reactor that does not use glass, and…
