The Spyglass SG50-F triple infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) open-path flame detectors (photo) offer fast and high-performance optical flame detection over extensive distances, and superior false-alarm immunity when operating in challenging environments. All Spyglass flame detectors are available with optional…
The CSD series of screw compressors (photo) has been redesigned to improve efficiency over a wider range of flows and pressures. With five models ranging from 60 to 125 hp, new airend designs and IE4 Super Premium Efficiency motors provide…
Monitoring particle sizes in real time can improve product quality and reduce costs in chemical processes. Presented here is an overview of available technologies for particle-size analysis and an example involving suspension polymerization Effective measurement, in real time, of particle…
Effective control technologies are crucial for mitigating the adverse effects of air pollution. The selection of combustion-based or non-combustion-based technologies requires careful consideration of numerous factors Air-pollution control technologies are critical for reducing the negative impacts of industrial operations on…
Noise-COM 500 products (photo) are Bluetooth-enabled hearing protectors specifically designed for use in extremely harsh, noisy operations. They are suitable, for example, for use in construction, mining or other heavy industries where using hearing protection is vital, and the ability…
In May, Li-Metal Corp. (Markham, Ont.; www.li-metal.com) announced the production of refined lithium metal from lithium carbonate salt using a new electrolysis process at the company’s pilot facility in Ontario, Canada. The lithium metal produced at the pilot plant is…
This company has significantly expanded the offerings in its Flooring line of concrete coatings (photo). The expanded range comprises integrated systems of primers, bases and topcoats for environments that require electrostatic protection, for equipment mechanical rooms and for applications where…
The Zero Emission Electro-Hydraulic actuator (photo) provides a comprehensive solution to lower emissions without requiring pipeline gas as the actuator’s primary power supply. Pipeline actuators have previously relied on using the gas from the pipeline as a power source, which…
Isolation and purification of pure, active enantiomers is important in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients and drug products. However, recovering the desired optical isomer from a racemic mixture means half of the chemical produced — the undesired isomer —…
At the outset, tackling emissions-reduction projects to achieve regulatory compliance can seem daunting, but by taking a proactive approach, leaks can be handled before they become a serious emissions issue To meet global emissions-reduction targets, chemical processing facilities are facing…
