Plant operators can now see at a glance how their plant is changing over time using the new CompareMap tool, which highlights the biggest changes in plant performance, and provides drill-down into corrective actions. The CompareMap approach compares the plant…
Pumps are among the most commonly used machines in the chemical process industries (CPI). Condition monitoring tests and predictive maintenance can help pump operators determine when to overhaul pumps in a way that minimizes costs. Despite pumps’ ubiquity and large…
Information management provides a way to develop new materials, products or formulations more rapidly, on the basis of the information that a company already possesses in-house, while providing insight that can be used to guide experimentation and predict results —…
A new particle-size measurement technique has been developed and used to evaluate filter retention efficiency for particles with an average diameter of 12 nm by C.T. Associates Inc. (Eden Prairie, Minn.; www.ctassociatesinc.com) and W.L. Gore and Associates (Newark, Del.; www.gore.com).…
This pH probe has an integrated temperature sensor Yokogawa The new SC25V (photo) is a reliable, very stable and highly accurate 12-mm pH sensor that uses a VP-type connector to integrate multiple measuring elements in a single package, including a…
The XTP601 is a new, compact oxygen analyzer for applications in the process, power-generation and marine industries. The device uses thermo-paramagnetic sensor technology to provide stable percentage measurements of oxygen in process gases, including hydrogen, nitrogen and air. It can…
The Hygrophil F (photo) uses a patented Fabry-Perot interferometer principle to measure trace moisture in natural gas. The sensor element of the moisture sensor type L1661 is made of a multiple layers of optically high-reflective and low refractive materials. Pores…
The Kapta 2000-AC2 (photo) is a new in-line chlorine sensor for municipal and industrial applications. This new addition to the Kapta amperometric probes is based on microchip technology that enables multiparameter sensors to be fitted within one probe head. The…
The AXW is a new, larger addition to the Admag series of magnetic flowmeters. The AXW series is suitable for industrial process lines, water and other basic applications. Sizes are available from 500 to 1,000 mm with a wide liner…
With the MiniTest 300, this company introduces the first vacuum leak detector that uses a quartz window sensor instead of the conventional mass-spectrometer detector. The MiniTest 300 operates at a working pressure of up to 200 mbar, without requiring additional…
