The Model TSF twin-screw feeder (photo) is designed for precise batching and weighing applications. The feeder’s dual-helix design combines fast, high-volume filling with accurate dribble flow at the end of the cycle. Its compact design is ideal when limited space…
Site commissioning is underway at a facility in Nebraska that uses plasma pyrolysis to generate hydrogen gas and carbon black from natural gas without any local carbon dioxide emissions. The developer, Monolith Materials (Lincoln, Neb.; www.monolithmaterials.com), scaled up the process…
This company’s mill-discharge (MD) pumps (photo) are robust and have been designed to operate reliably in highly abrasive environments, providing optimal solutions for each part of the concentrator plants of a minerals-processing facility. The MD pumps have been designed for…
The focus of the X-act 7000, in combination with the MicroTubes for different gases and vapors, is to measure carcinogenic and toxic substances in the lower parts-per-billion (ppb) range. The range of gases to be measured is being constantly expanded.…
Selecting footwear for plant personnel is not a “one size fits all” situation — various factors must be considered to ensure the best shoe for a specific application Chemical manufacturing plants generally have questions about their overall safety protection program,…
The use of molecular hydrogen is common across the chemical process industries (CPI). Annually, 70 million metric tons of H2 are produced worldwide. Most industrial H2 production currently occurs via steam reforming of methane, but production via water electrolysis is…
Targo-Vent (photo) is an opening angle limiter, developed for use with this company’s Explosion Panels, which guides the pressure relief specifically into areas in which there is no danger to the adjoining infrastructure. Targo-Vent absorbs the enormous repulsive forces of…
The new Proline t-mass F/I 300/500 thermal mass flowmeters (photo) are reliable and versatile for measuring pure gases and gas mixtures, and each has numerous alarm functions, as well as bidirectional measurement capability and reverse flow detection. The flowmeters are…
Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and improved technologies for providing robots with positional awareness have driven an expansion of robotics use in a variety of application areas across the chemical process industries (CPI) Robots have been fixtures on discrete-product manufacturing…
The Rosemount 700XA gas chromatograph (GC; photo) is said to be the industry’s first single-analyzer solution for measuring both sulfur compounds and the energy content of natural gas. The 700XA is a cost-effective approach to meet gas-quality and heating-value requirements…
