This firm has added new high performance models to its range of rupture discs. For protection of medium- and high-pressure equipment, the rupture discs model SCD (forward acting) and SCR (compression) have a micro-scored calibrated section with six sectors (instead…
This firm’s continuous particulate-emission monitor and baghouse-filter leak detector (photo) effectively automates the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA; Washington, D.C.) maximum achievable control technology (MACT) requirements, thus improving air-quality management. Capable of detecting any type of particulate above 0.3 µm…
The new, improved "sterile as standard" ChargeBag (photo) for contained transfer of potent powders ensures maximum product recovery, quality and operator protection. High containment, with operator exposure limits of less than 1 µg/m3 during the transfer process is achieved when…
Allison Engineering A new type of TÜV-approved, stainless-steel spray guard (photo) provides effective protection from dangerous spray-outs of fuel oils and other flammable liquids from pipes and flanges. The safety shield incorporates a steel band and an internal stainless-steel mesh…
Intertec Instrumentation This new range of steam heaters (photo) for field-instrumentation-protection applications offers a choice of vertical, horizontal or panel mounting styles. With four outputs ranging from around 65 to 490 W, users can select the appropriate heater for all…
FireBag thermo-activated shut-off devices shut off gas supply when ambient temperatures reach 212°F, preventing the spread of fire that can lead to gas explosions. The FireBag will meet the temperature and leakage requirements of ANSI/API 607 for natural gas, propane…
Introduced last August, the pilot operated safety valves (POSVs) include the pop-action Series 810 and modulated-action Series 820 valves. POSVs are typically used in petroleum refineries and gas processing plants, compressors in gas pipline systems and offshore applications. The own-media-controlled…
Improvements in the design of ethylene oxide (EtO) scrubbers made by The Clean Air Group, Croll Reynolds Co. (Parsippany, N.J.; www.croll.com) have helped users meet increasingly stringent regulations for EtO emissions, as well as meet tower height restrictions. “Our designs…
Chemical protective garments are available in a wide variety of fabrics and designs that provide varying levels of protection for chemical process industries (CPI) workers, who may be exposed to chemicals in the form of vapors, liquids and particles. While…
The pressure testing of process piping and vessels is essential in the chemical process industries (CPI). In liquefied natural gas (LNG) and other cryogenic facilities, residual water left by hydraulic pressure testing could result in operational problems if not completely…
