The Vapor Delivery Modules (VDM) are compact sub-systems incorporating a liquid flow controller (thermal or Coriolis), one or two mass-flow controllers for carrier gas and a temperature-controlled mixing and evaporation device. The modules are equipped with a 1.8-in. thin-film transistor…
The new SKW (slurry knife wafer) valve was developed for applications where abrasive or corrosive slurries, powders or coarse substances are processed. The company has engineered its SKW valve at full-bore with no flow restrictions, allowing processes with abrasive or…
Spectrus TD1100E is a new biocide for industrial cooling-water systems that is designed to reduce microbiologically influenced corrosion, as well as the potential risk for Legionella bacteria. It is a non-oxidizing, liposome-enhanced microbiological control agent used to kill or control…
If the word “modular” brings to mind a trailer office parked on site, it’s time to revisit modular systems. Today’s modular system go well beyond office space and tool sheds, and can contain almost anything from a skid-mounted filtration system…
Enzymes, nature’s catalysts, have been used in industrial processes for centuries. Now, they are coming into their own in the chemical process industries (CPI). As green chemistry becomes an industry mantra, pressures to reduce product cost, facility carbon footprint and…
1100 Series Magnetic Level Indicator (MLI) provides visual indication of liquid level within a larger, primary process vessel. Once the MLI is mounted to the vessel, the process liquid will flow freely up and down within the MLI chamber. Located…
The introduction of the new IMT 8850 model expands this company’s line of double-wall storage tanks, providing capacity of up to 8,850 gal of liquid, which can accommodate two truckloads of most chemicals. Featuring a standard 24-in. hinged manway, the…
It is important to conceptualize plant layout in terms of both ideal location and optimal geographical positioning of equipment components For any chemical process facility, the cost of improper or sub-obtimal plant layout can be enormous. Designers are generally well…
Guidelines are presented to better understand the temperature profiles of high-velocity gases In high-velocity gas flows, such as those that may occur within the discharge piping of a pressure-relief or depressurization valve, the temperature experienced at the wall of the…
