The physical characteristics of dispersed particles have a large impact on overall rheological properties Many important products of the chemical process industries (CPI) exist as suspensions or dispersions of particles in liquid media. Examples range from adhesives, ceramics, paints and…
The substance known colloquially as table sugar is actually sucrose, a disaccharide composed of fructose and glucose. Sucrose is a major agriculturally derived product with an established industry for its extraction, processing and supply. It is mainly employed as a…
Best-efficiency point (BEP), the flowrate at which a pump operates at its highest or optimum efficiency for a specific impeller diameter, is a key consideration when assessing pump performance. While most pumps do not consistently operate at their exact BEP,…

If the word “modular” brings to mind a trailer office parked on site, it’s time to revisit modular systems. Today’s modular system go well beyond office space and tool sheds, and can contain almost anything from a skid-mounted filtration system…
Designed for use with this company’s IQ3 actuators, the Remote Hand Station enables local monitoring and control for equipment in inaccessible locations. At distances up to 100 m from the valve, the Remote Hand Station provides the user with an…
The Vapor Delivery Modules (VDM) are compact sub-systems incorporating a liquid flow controller (thermal or Coriolis), one or two mass-flow controllers for carrier gas and a temperature-controlled mixing and evaporation device. The modules are equipped with a 1.8-in. thin-film transistor…
The new SKW (slurry knife wafer) valve was developed for applications where abrasive or corrosive slurries, powders or coarse substances are processed. The company has engineered its SKW valve at full-bore with no flow restrictions, allowing processes with abrasive or…
Spectrus TD1100E is a new biocide for industrial cooling-water systems that is designed to reduce microbiologically influenced corrosion, as well as the potential risk for Legionella bacteria. It is a non-oxidizing, liposome-enhanced microbiological control agent used to kill or control…
1100 Series Magnetic Level Indicator (MLI) provides visual indication of liquid level within a larger, primary process vessel. Once the MLI is mounted to the vessel, the process liquid will flow freely up and down within the MLI chamber. Located…
