The ET line of advanced controllers are designed to automatically manage operation of this company’s pneumatic vacuum-conveying systems (photo). Applying proprietary technology, ET conveyor controllers feature a sensor-based design that monitors material levels in the feed hopper, vacuum conveyor or…

Facts At Your Fingertips: Process Hazard Identification Methods

Process hazards analyses (PHAs) are structured reviews during the engineering design process intended to detect potential hazards that were not addressed by the design team. This one-page reference describes commonly employed PHA methods. PHA methods PHAs are often conducted or…

Connecting Research and Production Data to Deliver Chemical Innovation

Enhancing data management using LIMS software provides enhanced product-development opportunities Accurate and efficient data management is key to productive and collaborative working practices, yet recording, storing and analyzing large quantities of laboratory data can be challenging. With many laboratories using…

Self-aligning pipe and tube couplings

This company’s ring-grip pipe and tube couplings (photo) are heavy-duty, self-aligning couplings for either high pressure (up to 150 psig) or full-vacuum-rated applications. These couplings can be installed quickly and easily, reducing costs. They are available in 2- through 10-in.…

Electrical pressure generator for portable automatic calibrations

The ePG (photo) is a new electrical pressure pump for industrial pressure-calibration applications. The ePG is a robust, portable, battery-operated pressure pump that enables easy and quick pressure generation from near vacuum up to 20 bars (300 psi). With a…

Optimizing Vapor Recovery from Storage Tanks

Light hydrocarbons in storage tanks can vaporize and vent to the atmosphere, creating harmful emissions. An optimized vapor-recovery unit can effectively and economically reduce such emissions In the chemicals, petroleum refining and natural gas industries, storage vessels are used to…

Protect motors with this new dV/dt filter

The dV E-Series motor-protection filter (photo) mitigates reflective waves, reduces rise time and limits peak voltage, resulting in reduced motor heating, longer cable and motor life, and a significant reduction in downtime and total ownership cost. Using a d V/d…
