The 12,000-ft2 manufacturing plant will build temperature sensors, thermowells, transmitters, recorders, flow computers, safety barriers, displays and other instrumentation to meet the increasing demand for this instrumentation…
One of the most important measurements in the chemical process industries (CPI) is rate of flow. Flowrates can be important to measure, and in fact can be critical to measure, throughout a process — from dosing components into a reactor…
As engineers in the chemical process industries (CPI) are pressed harder to meet deadlines in the workplace, the amount of information available to them in their field is growing at an exponential pace. To address the situation, chemistry- and engineering-oriented…
A common practice in the chemical process industries (CPI) is to implement so-called value- maximization projects (VMP) to increase production or reduce production costs in order to increase profit margins. With such projects, one main objective of the design team…
Developed for laboratories conducting environmental, geological and waste-disposal analysis, the Xepos HE (heavy element) x-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrument is optimized for the analysis of medium and heavy elements. It achieves detection limits that are a factor of five to ten…
The new WX Series of gas-detection alarm controllers consists of three controllers: the WX4 (four-channel controller), the WX16 (16-channel controller) and the WX 64 (64-channel controller). The WX Series controllers are designed for continuous monitoring of up to four, 16…
