The STX1220A Sliding Vane line performs effectively and efficiently at lower flowrates (from 42–92 gal/min), and is ideal for use in handling low-viscosity chemicals, even those up to 22 centistokes. Constructed of stainless steel with PTFE mechanical seals, the pump…
A novel nickel-manganese-gallium alloy, introduced by Goodfellow Corp. (Oakdale, Pa.; www.goodfellowusa.com), elongates in a magnetic field, allowing the conversion of magnetic field energy into kinetic energy. The material offers an alternative to conventional actuators, and could find other uses in…
Distillation columns are often workhorses in the chemical process industries (CPI), and at times, it is necessary to physically inspect the interior of a column. This article demonstrates what an inspection can reveal, by sharing the experience of actual fractionation-tower…
The Adams 2000 is the latest member of the HAP range of filling machines, and delivers significantly higher speeds for filling powder products in weather-tight, compacted polyethylene (PE) bags. The Adams 2000 can handle 2,000 bags per hour because the…
MCI POWR is a water-based alkylalkoxy silane that contains this company’s migrating corrosion-inhibitor technology. Specifically designed to protect new and existing concrete structures from moisture, salt intrusion and freeze/thaw scaling, MCI POWR can extend the life of reinforced concrete bridges,…
This company has introduced a modular version of its biological water-treatment system, known as ABMet. The patented system uses naturally occurring microbes to reduce levels of selenium and other metals in water from coal mines and power plants. The ABMet…
