Thanks to the FieldConnex Multi-Input Output (MIO; photo), it is now possible to connect digital signals from several varied functions to the fieldbus via a single address. The FieldConnex MIO allows discrete signals with four different functions to be integrated…
With a nominal size of 63 mm and an insertion depth of 32 mm, the A2G-mini differential-pressure gage (photo) has been developed with a view to the E.U. directive for energy-efficient ventilation and air-conditioning systems. Beginning January 1st, 2018, all…
The Enardo ES-665 spring-loaded thief hatch for use on low-pressure storage tanks (photo) is engineered with increased sealing forces, as well as with a tight and consistent fit of the sealing surfaces, resulting in emissions-reduction performance of 0.10 std. ft3…
This company expands its GHS-VSD+ series of variable-speed driven vacuum pumps with the addition of three new models, extending pumping capacities up to 4,800 m3/h. The new GHS 3800-5400 VSD+ rotary screw pumps (photo) are particularly suited for large industrial…
New MegaPress stainless-steel press fittings (photo) can reduce the time required to make pipe repairs compared to other pipe joining systems, reducing downtime and the potential for losses in revenue. According to the manufacturer, MegaPress fittings enable secure connections in…
When installing rupture discs, there are several mechanical and operational considerations for reducing the likelihood of leaks and fugitive emissions Overpressure relief systems consisting of rupture discs and relief valves are vital for preventing damage and injury within chemical processing…
Successful operation of safety valves in steam systems requires careful adherence to established industry standards for installation and design One of the most critical safety devices in a steam system is the safety valve. Figure 1 is an illustration of…
Asset Performance Management (APM) is a complete software suite for site, process and equipment-performance management that combines process modeling with realtime big data and machine-learning solutions. The APM suite is designed to increase asset uptime, improve reliability, extend the life…
The PolyCera Hydro (photo) is a new ultrafiltration membrane for drinking water applications where total suspended solids (TSS), turbidity and pathogen removal are of concern. PolyCera Hydro can be used in place of conventional polymeric membranes for drinking-water treatment in…
The sound waves from the discharge side of this company’s Delta Screw compressor can reach 170–190 dB. Therefore, a downstream silencer is obligatory, as with other compressors. In conventional dissipative silencers, the high frequencies of the sound waves lead to…
