New pump technologies offer better containment and reliability to keep product flowing safely and efficiently Because moving hazardous or high-value product through the process in a cost-effective manner is the name of the game in today’s chemical process industries (CPI),…
The new 190 Series (photo) of control and shutoff valves features dye-forged pressure-containing parts (valve housing and bonnet), guaranteeing a homogeneous material structure without any discontinuities. Such microscopic defects, which are very difficult to prevent and to evaluate, especially on…
The new LMS200 magnetically actuated level-gage switch (photo) is non-invasive and designed to improve the ease of use, safety and reliability of magnetically coupled switches in demanding conditions. The level setpoint is easily adjustable without changing any process piping or…
The new Aerzen Turbo G5 plus (photo) high-efficiency turbocompressor features air-foil bearings with a double coating of Teflon and graphite, which provides increased temperature resistance and a lifetime of more than 80,000 h of operation — independently from start and…
UniDisc (photo) is this company’s latest innovation for disc stack separators. This new disc technology is said to increase separation capacity by as much as 30%, while simultaneously providing an extremely high degree of hygiene. Unlike traditional separator discs with…
A flowmeter for biopharmaceutical processes The Flexmag 4050 C (photo) is said to be the first electromagnetic flowmeter with a biocompatible, disposable flow tube specifically developed for single-use biopharmaceutical applications, including filtration processes, chromatography or buffer and media preparation. Featuring…
Multi-product reactors with enhanced heat-transfer requirements are often equipped with simple radially working mixing systems with various types of impellers. To improve the performance of such reactors, this company has developed the Varioblade (photo), which is a flexible, modular impeller…
Since this company’s engineers have modified the standard rupture-disc design, its high-pressure rupture discs (photo) have become significantly more durable. The welding seam of the rupture disc is not stressed as usual, in terms of shearing and bending, but only…
These key elements of internal boiler feedwater (BFW) treatment will help avoid boiler tube failures due to scale and pitting For many chemical processes, an industrial packaged-type boiler is a critical component for either power generation or for producing steam.…
Three chlorine-based strategies for controlling microbial load in industrial cooling water are evaluated here Industrial cooling-water systems are critical to the success of many chemical process industries (CPI) operations. Proper operation of cooling-water systems supports the financial drivers of energy…
