This company has launched the ASM 306 S (photo), which addresses any industrial leak-detection “sniffing” applications, especially in refrigeration and air-conditioning processes. This new leak detector is highly sensitive (10 –7 mbar L/s), precise and accurate. Leakage control using sniffing…
Removing solids from a stream of air or other gases is an important operation across virtually all sectors of the chemical process industries (CPI). In many cases, gas-solid separation is motivated by the need to reduce environmental impact and health…
With a rugged NEMA 4X/IP68 industrial housing, the new VWB2000 signal-wire replacement system (photo) is a point-to-point wireless signal bridge that takes analog, discrete, or Modbus signals at one location and reproduces them at a second location. The system consists…
Through its business unit Solys, this company launched the Sirion Pro range, a simplified version of the Sirion RO (reverse osmosis) range (photo). A compact, plug-and-play system that integrates Aquavista digital services, Sirion Pro offers more basic features — a…
Methods for controlling reboilers in distillation towers are central to good reboiler operation and tower stability. Control valves can be located in the steam-inlet line or in the condensate-outlet line. This article updates guidance for key considerations and practices using…
A personal development strategy helps to set engineers up for success in their personal and professional lives As chemical engineers, we have been trained to be data-driven, fact-based problem-solvers. This focus serves us well when we are tackling difficult technical…
The new CSA Range of sealless pumps (photo) are designed for handling high-temperature, toxic, flammable, corrosive, carcinogenic and aggressive fluids. The sealless magnetic-drive designs eliminate emissions and leaks, which can harm productivity, personnel and the environment. The new CSA Range…
The DJ level switch (photo) provides high- or low-point level detection of bulk solids. The DJ detector operates successfully on baghouses, cyclone separators and above airlocks. Consistent results have been achieved on chemical powders, minerals and many other granulated materials.…
The new Turbimax CUS50D sensor (photo) is an absorption sensor for turbidity and suspended-solids measurement in unfavorable environments. Its robust design is made to withstand aggressive media and is suitable for applications in industrial wastewater treatment or chemical processes. Turbimax…
In continuous crystallization, it is often challenging to accurately measure mass flowrates, but the method described here enables a simpler path to a balanced crystallization process To gain optimal value from industrial crystallization processes, it is clear that understanding specific…
