Because the benefits are many, roles for simulation software tools exist from planning and design of facilities through operations and everything in between. And thanks to enhancements, it’s becoming easier to use simulation alongside other software packages, while niche…
The TR21 and TR22 Series resistance thermometers (direct mounted or with thermowell) can be integrated into all standard processes. The devices’ hygienic design is verified by 3-A auditing and EHEDG certification. The TR21 is characterized by its space-saving design and…
The Siemens division Industry Automation (Nuremberg, Germany; www.siemens.com/industryautomation) has expanded Comos (www.siemens.com/comos), the software solution for complete plant management throughout the entire lifecycle of an industrial plant, with functions for productive front-end engineering and design (FEED). Comos FEED supports the…
LiquiSonic Plato (photo) is an inline analyzer for liquids in the beverage industry. The system consists of one or more intelligent sensors and a controller that are connected to each other by a digital line of almost any length. Investment…
The CoFox CMG 01 level indicator is used for continuous level measurement in tanks containing liquid, electrically conductive media at temperatures from –40 to 150°C. The device operates on the potentiometric principle, and therefore measurements are not affected by changes…
Effective level measurement helps ensure smooth, continuous processes by maintaining material inventory at economic quantities, and maximizes plant output by preventing spillage, system clogging and process upsets. In chemical process industries (CPI) applications, level measurement of liquids, powders and slurries…
Spectroblue is a new, inductively coupled-plasma, optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) for environmental laboratories that require a low-cost, high-throughput spectrometer solution, says the company. It was designed for improved performance of common laboratory analysis, where stability, uninterrupted operation and throughput are…
Ever since the advent of the first computer, the goals of information technology (IT) have been to simplify (as well as speed up and generally improve) the way we do things. As computer systems and software have evolved, however, many…
A new version of this company’s Ultramat 23 gas analyzer records the concentration of oxygen using a paramagnetic measuring cell. The analyzer combines the measurement of up to three infrared-sensitive gases and the paramagnetic O2 measuring principle in one unit.…
For decades, plant-wide oil-mist systems have been used to lubricate rolling-element bearings in high-speed applications throughout the petrochemicals, textiles, pharmaceuticals, mining and other chemical process industries (CPI). Applications range from small motors to large rotating cylinders and a variety of…
