A new alarm module for gas mixers

The NXT+ (photo) is a new alarm module that monitors the gas pressures at the inlets of the gas mixer and in the mixing gas vessel to ensure a constant process quality. These mixers work with a high pressure-fluctuation tolerance…

This gas-sorption analyzer has new temperature capabilities

The Cryocooler is a sample-holding accessory to this company’s gas-sorption analyzer, which is used to measure surface area and pore size of industrially useful porous materials and powders, and to investigate sorption capacity of state-of-the-art materials, such as carbons, zeolites,…

Thermowell Installation

Temperature is among the most critical measurements in the chemical process industries (CPI) for operating safe and efficient processes. Because even a small error in temperature can lead to expensive consequences, accurate and reliable monitoring of temperature is required. Thermowells…

A portable device that tests for fuel fraud

Nemesis is said to be the only analyzer of its kind — the first fully portable system to test for tampering in fuel. The device provides rapid sample analysis with marker detection down to extremely low levels. Results are available…

A temperature sensor designed for pipe surfaces

The TF44 sensor is designed for measuring the temperature on pipe surfaces. The small design of the protective sleeve enables optimized mounting of the sensors and the insulation above them, even on pipelines with a small nominal width. The thermowell…

This vibrating level switch handles extreme conditions

Until now, the principle of a vibrating level switch has been limited to process conditions up to a maximum of 280°C and 100 bars. By using a new drive for the tuning fork of its Vegaswing 66, this company has…

Motors: Taming the CPI’s Energy Beast

Whether for pumping, mixing, compression or ventilation, motors are used everywhere in the chemical process industries (CPI). Unfortunately, they are notoriously energy intensive, accounting for about 65% of the electrical consumption of a chemical production site. However, with the world,…

A compact flowmeter that has no moving parts

Mag-View is a compact, high-quality, yet economical, device for measuring liquid flowrates in applications where flow sensors with moving parts cannot be applied. Its interference-free operation, combined with a long lifecycle and independence from the inlet and outlet pipework makes…
