“Green” Ethylene Production Provided by Intratec Solutions

With a global nominal capacity of about 140 million ton/yr, ethylene is among the main petrochemicals produced worldwide, and is a key building block for the industry. Ethylene is produced mostly via steam-cracking of petroleum-based feedstocks, such as naphtha. Ethylene…

Dimensionless numbers in fluid dynamics

Dimensionless numbers refer to physical parameters that have no units of measurement. These numbers often appear in calculations used by process engineers. As long as consistent units are used, dimensionless numbers remain the same whether metric or other units are…

A new solenoid valve variant for high-pressure applications

This company’s Type 6027 solenoid valve is now available in a new, high-pressure version for pressures up to 250 bars. The new variant of the type 6027 seals the valve seat with a ceramic ball seal. This seal is self-centering…

Two new self-loading regulator valves

With the introduction of the new SLR-1 and SLR-2 self-loading regulator valves, this company now offers more choices for pressure regulation. The SLR-1 consists of a DA4 high-performance, pressure-loaded, flow-to-open, pressure-reducing regulator with either this company’s P1 or Fairchild Model…
