As benefits become apparent, the acceptance of modular process systems grows and the concept finds new opportunities While providers of modular process systems and facilities will tell you modular builds were once a hard sell, modularization is now sought after…
The Qdos series of chemical-metering pumps (photo) now includes a model for mobile and remote applications — with no practical access to grid electricity — that can be powered by a 12–24 V d.c. power supply. Suitable for both remote…
The K-ML-BSP-150-S Bulk Solids Pump (BSP) feeder (photo) provides gentle feeding of free-flowing granular materials without using screws, augers, belts or vibratory trays to convey the material. Instead, it utilizes positive-displacement action to feed free-flowing materials, offering uniform discharge, consistent…
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,…
An international study has found that coal-fired power stations emit more ultrafine dust particles than road traffic and that those dust particles can modify rainfall patterns and can, in general, have considerable impact on the climate. The study found that…
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 Kromschröder BCU 4 Series control platform (photo) for multi-burner applications is designed for directly ignited or pilot/main burners of unlimited capacity in intermittent or continuous operation, and for modulated or step-controlled gas burners. The series consists of three new…
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.…
