The Sitrans Probe LU240 (photo) is this company’s newest ultrasonic level-measurement HART transmitter. Field-proven echo processing separates true material-level echoes from false, providing reliable readings while still allowing rapid response to actual changes in the material level. The device’s reduced…
SafeGuard (photo) is a predictive maintenance solution featuring wireless access and proactive alerts for all types of centrifugal pumps. SafeGuard allows both the pump and the motor to be remotely monitored at all times with continuous cloud connectivity. If an…
This company’s 80-GHz radar sensors (photo) are temperature-decoupled from the process, meaning that they are optimized for the extreme process temperatures that occur in liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied propane gas (LPG) applications, and easily withstand temperatures as low…
DM 9600 Series precision manometers feature a color touchscreen and are designed with technicians in mind to provide data quickly and easily for startup, troubleshooting and reporting jobs for measuring pressure, temperature, flow and other parameters. Five different ranges are…
This company has developed a line of sanitary processors (photo) that offer proprietary continuous-mixing technology in a sanitary design approved and certified by the USDA. The continuous processors feature solid, one-piece, removable, rotating shafts that cannot harbor material, with removable…
This company has extended its Purate technology for chlorine dioxide (ClO2) biocides with a new product line that is specifically tailored for small to medium water systems and industrial cooling systems. The new platform includes Purate chemistry and patented generator…
A solid grasp of pump sizing allows engineers to make effective economic and practical decisions about process pumps. This one-page reference provides information about two key parameters and other considerations for pump sizing. Pump sizing steps Sizing a pump requires…
This column is based on “Oxygen Production – Cost Analysis,” a report published by Intratec. It can be found at: www.intratec.us/analysis/oxygen-production-cost. Oxygen is a nonmetallic element and one of the most abundant elements on Earth’s surface. Under standard pressure and…
Pressurized condensate-return systems and flash-steam vent condensers offer opportunities for fuel cost savings in a plant’s steam system. Here’s how to take advantage Pressurized steam-condensate systems can provide plants with a minimum of between 15 and 35% savings in fuel…
As shown here, economical cooling is often achieved with a combination of both air and water cooling. Design considerations are also presented here For the last 40 years, air-cooled heat exchangers have become an indispensable part of many chemical, petroleum-refining,…
