This company is launching two new versions of its SHT4x series of humidity sensors (photo). The ultra-high accuracy SHT41 and SHT45 versions are equipped with this company’s brand-new and optimized CMOSens chip that offers ultra-low power consumption. The CMOSens technology…
The SmartBall platform (photo) is a free-swimming inspection tool used to detect leaks and gas pockets and map pipelines. The tool can be used in pressurized water and wastewater pipelines without disrupting regular service. It is a valuable addition to…
Better qualitative and quantitative understanding of the mechanisms of particle breakage at the level of the particles, the bulk material and the equipment helps minimize the risk, uncertainties and impact of particle attrition in solids processing operations Unwanted breakage, degradation…
QuickTOCuv (photo) is a measuring device for continuous online determination of total carbon (TC), total organic carbon (TOC), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in pure water, such as condensate return and boiler feedwater. It is also…
Contracting a pilot plant is a viable approach for any organization. However, it can be fraught with potential issues, which need to be understood and addressed in advance Reduced in-house resources have limited the options many organizations have for designing…
The VSE balance enclosure (photo) is offered in 24-, 36- and 48-in. widths to accommodate an analytical balance and other small-scale lab processes. The balance is constructed of chemical-resistant metal framing and¼-in.-thick clear acrylic side panels and viewing sash. Efficient…
Vinyl acetate (also known as vinyl acetate monomer; VAM) is important in the manufacture of many polymers and resins. The greatest demand for vinyl acetate is associated with the production of polymers and copolymers, mainly poly(vinyl acetates) used in papermaking,…
ODH Catalyst Clariant Catalyts (Munich; www.clariant.com) has teamed up with Linde Engineering (Pullach im Isartal, both Germany; www.linde-engineering.com) to develop new catalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane (ODH-E), a low-emissions catalytic technology for the production of ethylene. The new…
The compact DM1000 polishing filter (photo) is particularly suitable for removing and recovering organic compounds and solids in small-stream feeds in battery chemicals processes. Thanks to its modular design, the filter is easy to expand also for larger process flows.…
Controlling the temperature of a process using a thermal loop is important in many applications. The importance of a power controller is discussed here For any process where temperature needs to be monitored or controlled, a thermal loop is required.…
