TCT Series centrifugal pumps (photo) feature an open and rear-mounted impeller, internal anti-abrasive coating and low rotational speed (rpm), making them suitable for applications where pumps may be exposed to high levels of abrasion, such as ceramics manufacturing or distilleries.…
This company has introduced a new low-temperature sealing option for its RHPS Series of pressure regulators (photo). Composed of low-temperature-resistant nitrile material, these new seals are designed to maintain a strong seal in cold climates and applications where significant cooling…
The new PCU Series of controllers (photo) connect to thermal mass flowmeters to provide a local display of flow output. Serving as a single- or multi-channel mass-flow controller with up to four channels, the PCU controller supports multiple-unit networked operations.…
In collaboration with ecom, this company has launched the Onsight Cube-Ex wearable camera (photo) for asset analysis and safety inspections in hazardous areas. By pairing the Cube-Ex with ecom’s intrinsically safe 4G/LTE Smart-Ex smartphone or Tab-Ex tablet, users can remotely…
Producing chemicals and fuels by fermentation of renewable feedstocks can offer improved sustainability, lower costs and greater safety compared to conventional thermal processes. But realizing these benefits depends on a careful assessment of the process economics, and an understanding of…
The new Vibration Bottom system (photo) enables safe discharge of powdery, crystalline, fatty and granular bulk materials from hoppers. The lateral, imbalance vibrator sets the vibration bottom in horizontal, circular vibration. Vibrations are transmitted to the materials column via the…
There are many industrial technologies for removing H 2 S from process gas, and each brings with it different benefits with regard to costs, efficiency and equipment layout Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a toxic and corrosive gas that occurs naturally,…
By focusing on ignition sources, such as static discharges, and housekeeping, facilities handling solids can minimize their risk for combustible dust explosions Dust explosions in industrial facilities can cause injuries, destruction of property, and — as history will attest —…
Apart from ensuring the conformity of the process and the quality of the product, professional calibration, first and foremost, improves the quality of the process At many plants in the chemical process industries (CPI), measurement instrumentation is usually calibrated during…
