This company’s line of strainer gaskets remove particulate matter and debris from process fluids. They are suitable for standard flanged connections and can be inserted upstream from sensitive and costly processing equipment. The gaskets may be deployed as a single…
An overview of the codes and standards that are most pertinent to chemical processing facilities Moving a process fluid from one stage of its processing cycle to the next requires the transfer of fluids between pressure vessels, through pressure piping…
The Rosemount CT5400 continuous gas analyzer (photo) combines tunable diode laser (TDL) and quantum cascade laser (QCL) technologies within the same analyzer, and uses a patented “laser chirp” to provide near-instant high-resolution spectroscopy to detect and identify a range of…
The Sentinel Float Stick System (photo) serves as a wireless-communication link in the remote monitoring and control of tank levels and temperatures for offsite data processing. Consisting of a magnetostrictive level probe with integrated temperature sensors mated with a Sentinel…
Process monitoring and automation can improve efficiencies in wastewater treatment systems. A number of parameters well worth monitoring, as well as tips for implementation are described There is growing interest in automating wastewater treatment processes across a broad range of…
Excessive growth of filaments and biopolymers in activated sludge should be controlled in CPI wastewater-treatment plants, as both lead to sludge that is hard to handle. The sticky behavior of such sludge can be minimized by the addition of polyaluminum…
Understanding pump internals, especially the various sealing and coupling arrangements, is a critical step in selecting the optimal pump There is a significant risk for operators associated with the pump selection process. Economic issues, such as procurement and operating costs,…
Advancements in efficiency and the ability to handle a wide array of chemicals combine to make the air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump a useful choice for chemical processors The circumstances surrounding the development of the air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumping principle six…
