There are several technologies used in the disposal of landfill gas (LFG). Here are some key elements that can guide engineers in designing an optimized LFG processing plant People generate trash. Trash is stored in landfills. Landfills contain bacteria, which…
The SRMHETRWP-15C (photo) is a rugged, industrial-grade 15-in. sunlight-readable touchscreen. This new model provides many important advantages for use in any automated outdoor system. With super-high visibility and brightness, this model is five to six times brighter than standard screens,…
Although the oceans contain about 5,000 times more lithium than what is found on land, the low concentrations (about 0.2 parts per million (ppm)), as well as the predominance of other larger ions (sodium, magnesium and potassium) makes Li extraction…
Managing the risk from combustible dust explosions involves a number of strategies for preventing explosions, as well as isolating, venting and suppressing explosions if they occur. Complying with applicable NFPA standards is a pathway toward minimizing risk Combustible dust explosions…
This company recently launched three filtration inspection packages (photo) centered around offering improved filter availability, better filter performance and longer equipment life. The packages are designed to quickly identify common wear-and-tear issues, such as problems with the plate packs, leakages…
Following a standardized project-development process, in combination with a robust cost-estimate classification system, can help to ensure that projects meet their financial goals Cost estimating is critical to support decision-making during the project development process for projects in the chemical…
The Pascal CV4 pressure transmitter (photo) has a high-resolution graphic display with backlighting. The device meets all typical requirements for pharmaceutical processing. Its high accuracy enables precise dosing in the filling process so that valuable product is not lost. The…
The Joukowsky equation is often relied upon to determine the maximum possible fluid pressure inside a pipe, but there are certain scenarios where this equation does not return the expected conservative result for overpressurization We engineers love our formulas. Especially…
By now, we are all used to being surrounded by “smart” machines — smartphones, smart televisions, all sorts of smart appliances at home and smart instruments in our production sites. We are also familiar with connecting our smart devices and…
The Rotavapor R-250 Pro (photo) is an update of the industrial evaporation unit, with the capacity of a 50-L evaporation flask. The new system offers a unique operating concept, many safety features and a robust design to improve demanding workflows…
