New heat exchanger technology for air-cooled LNG facilities
Together with Wieland Thermal Solutions and Technip, this company has developed a new technology to boost efficiency for air-cooled liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities, known as Diesta (short for dual internally and externally structured tube for air-coolers). Diesta (photo) is…
Use this software to verify process-logic code
PLC Checker software can be used to automate process-logic code review and demonstrate programming and coding rules to third parties. By ensuring that logic programs are consistent, commissioning and maintenance costs are reduced. Analyses are launched from developers’ workstations and…
A chemically inert stepper pump dispenses tiny volumes
This miniature, chemically inert stepper dispenser pump (photo) is designed to deliver variable micro-liter volumes (50–250µL) with a consistent performance. The LPD Series pump has been developed to offer greater design flexibility and significant cost savings to the medical and…
This tube connection speeds assembly of systems
Designed for working pressures as high as 22,500 psi (1,550 bars), the new “flared-cone” technology advances the performance of compression-style tube connections. It provides users with a simple and reliable means of speeding the assembly of instrument tubing systems for…
A new release of this multiphysics simulation software
Released last month, Multiphysics Version 5.1 is said to be the first and only integrated simulation environment for building multiphysics models and for creating and sharing easy-to-use simulation apps. Version 5.1 enhances user experience and productivity by allowing users to…
A new PAT technique for realtime particle analysis
Relative Backscatter Index (RBI) is a new process analytical technology (PAT) technique that indicates how particle size, shape and concentration changes in real time under actual process conditions. Unlike turbidity measurements, which lack sensitivity and can be difficult to interpret,…
Achema Show Preview 2
Achema Show Preview Professionals from all sectors of the chemical process industries (CPI) will convene June 15–19 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, for Achema 2015. This year’s event will host over 3,600 exhibitors, who will showcase some of the world’s…
Rotary screw vacuum pumps slash energy consumption
The new GHS 350-900 VSD+ vacuum pump range gives users energy savings of around 50% compared to traditional rotary-vane pumps, says the manufacturer. Based on the well-known and durable plug-and-play design principles of the company’s compressors, these vacuum pumps have…
Control in the field with WirelessHART
While the first applications of wireless technology were limited to simply monitoring processes, now WirelessHART can be integrated into the regulating process for controlling ball valves, fans and other mechanical devices. The discrete WirelessHART I/O field device (photo) can capture…
Introducing the smallest high-performance turbopump
The new HiPace 30 turbopump (photo) is currently the only turbopump on the market in its size class offering pumping speeds of 32 L/s. Its small installation footprint and low level of vibration make this pump particularly suitable for integration…
