Selecting the proper air-pollution control equipment for your process means focusing on the removal of specific pollutants while also ensuring that production goals are met Air-pollution control (APC) equipment is used to prevent pollutants from being released into the atmosphere…
The FIT in-plant and Foresight overland conveyors reliably transport material in the mining industry. The standardized conveyor modules and premium components offer high capacity and layout flexibility, as well as substantial savings in time and resources. The high-capacity Foresight overland…
The FLT93 flow switch Series (photo) is suitable for flow detection of liquids or gases. FLT93 is a dual-function instrument capable of monitoring and alarming on both flow and temperature in a single device. FLT93 flow switches can be specified…
Sensor-fusion technology boosts predictive maintenance This company introduced new sensor-fusion technology for compatible sensors within its NEON product range (photo). Sensor-fusion technology combines data from multiple sources to deliver a more comprehensive and accurate overview of industrial systems. This technology,…
Plant process modules are not a one-size-fits-all solution. These considerations can help determine the best size for your project With the growing recognition of the advantages of modular construction over traditional field construction [1, 2], it’s no surprise that an…
An Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) team created and tested two different formulations for stationary batteries that could utilize CO2 from industrial sources while storing energy from wind turbines and solar panels. Consisting of two electrodes in a saltwater solution,…
In a first-of-its-kind trial project, a CO2-removal method known as enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is being combined with biotechnology to accelerate atmospheric CO2 sequestration. FabricNano (London, U.K.; www.fabricnano.com) and Veolia (Paris, France; www.veolia.com) have embarked on a partnership wherein enzymes…
LC-Series heat exchangers are designed for cooling liquids or high-pressure air with ambient air. Common applications include cooling water used in fracking processes, cooling glycol or water as a cleaner alternative to smaller cooling towers, cooling compressed air and condensing…
In 1851, the year that the first America’s Cup sailboat race was contested, the top speed for a wind-powered vessel was 10 knots. Over the next 100 years, top sailboat speeds barely budged, but by the mid-1970s, top sailing speed…
Traditionally, many polymerization reactions are carried out batchwise in reactor vessels, with the reaction taking place in solution, emulsion or in a melt. This procedure reaches its limits if, for example, the reaction is very exothermic or the viscosity increases…
