The Pilot Reactor Controller (photo) provides easy control, automation and monitoring of any pilot reactor and associated devices via a single software interface. Designed for the pharmaceutical, chemical, contract-research or manufacturing organization (CRO/CMO), agrochemical and flavor and fragrance sectors, this…
A new industry standard relating to the safe operation of electrical equipment can help manufacturers transition from an irregular maintenance schedule to a safer, more prescriptive regimen We used to need to change our motor oil every 3,000 miles. The…
Optimizing the additive manufacturing of parts like actuators, regulators and valves will result in faster delivery, lower costs and improved performance for these crucial equipment components Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies are benefiting the chemical process industries (CPI) in two main…
In low-flow applications, Coriolis mass-flow controllers can be susceptible to clogging due to their small orifice. Filtration can solve most common clogging issues. Here are tips for filtration and clog prevention Advanced material and catalyst research, as well as critical…
The Mobifreeze M 270 (photo) is said to be the first mobile battery-powered ultralow-temperature chest freezer. Valuable samples or active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) can be safely stored and transported from –86 to –50°C. Natural refrigerants are used to provide active…
Extending its CATLine product series (photo), this company has launched application-tailored single-pair Ethernet (SPE) cables in five variants. Compared to conventional four-pair Ethernet connections, SPE offers significant savings potential in material, space and costs as high data rates can be…
Oxides of nitrogen (NOx) are a family of highly reactive gases that can be produced naturally, but largely result from fuel combustion (industrial combustion and automobile engines). In the environment, they are pollutants that react with volatile organic compounds in…
A guide to the practical considerations of calibrating weighing instruments is presented here Throughout the chemical process industries (CPI), weighing instruments find a range of important uses and are often a critical piece of equipment for many processes. Monitoring feed…
Bio-Process Oils (photo) is a new family of blended, highly-refined biosynthetic base oils that maintain flexibility over a wider temperature range than petroleum-based products, making them suitable for use in many types of adhesives and sealants. Their extremely low volatility…
The iTrans 2 fixed gas detector (photo) provides one or two points of detection from a single head for maximum flexibility, with both readings shown on the standard-issue LED and display. Gas sensors are mountable directly to the transmitter, or…
