The Big-Bag Unloader (BBU; photo) features a new, dust-free docking station. Included as standard equipment on the bulk-bag unloader, the new docking station features a proprietary design with integrated inner ring, outlet spout and cover that establish a sealed connection…
The Model TSF twin-screw feeder (photo) is designed for precise batching and weighing applications. The feeder’s dual-helix design combines fast, high-volume filling with accurate dribble flow at the end of the cycle. Its compact design is ideal when limited space…
The TDLS8220 extractive tunable diode laser spectrometer (photo) is a new generation OpreX analyzer. The TDLS8220 laser module and detector module are now encompassed in one board set, but still retain a reference cell for improved reliability of absorption peak…
Capable of processing viscous solutions, dispersions, suspensions and emulsions with viscosities in the hundreds of thousands of centipoise, this company’s line of VersaMix multi-shaft mixers is built for longevity, speed and efficiency. The VMC-100 (photo), is designed for vacuum operation…
Stranded methane in waste streams and flare gases at remote processing sites is a promising untapped resource. Now, with a new modular technology, companies can take advantage of this hydrocarbon-containing stream while also reducing their methane emissions. M2X Energy (Rockledge,…
A first-of-its-kind plastics-recycling technology is being demonstrated in a new pilot plant in India. Novoloop (Menlo Park, Calif.; www.novoloop.com), in partnership with Aether Industries (Gujarat, India; www.aether.co.in), is developing an integrated pilot plant to scale up Novoloop’s Lifecycling technology, which…
A wastewater treatment plant operated by Orange County (Calif.) Sanitation District is the site of the first installment, at a commercial facility, of a new supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) technology capable of producing clean water and minerals from waste slurries.…
Posidyne X-Class clutch brakes (photo) are suitable for incline conveyor applications because they provide precise positioning each cycle. They act as a holding brake so that materials never slide backward on the incline. The clutch brakes feature Oil Shear Technology,…
Chemists at the University of Amsterdam (UvA; the Netherlands; www.uva.nl) have developed an autonomous chemical-synthesis robot with an integrated artificial-intelligence (AI)-driven machine learning unit. Dubbed “RoboChem,” the benchtop device can outperform a human chemist in terms of speed and accuracy,…
Improvements in energy efficiency, reliability and operational boundaries reduce emissions and cut costs Due to a demand to increase margins and meet sustainability and decarbonization targets, today’s chemical processors are seeking ways to improve energy efficiency and reliability while also…
