Effective control technologies are crucial for mitigating the adverse effects of air pollution. The selection of combustion-based or non-combustion-based technologies requires careful consideration of numerous factors Air-pollution control technologies are critical for reducing the negative impacts of industrial operations on…
The Spyglass SG50-F triple infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) open-path flame detectors (photo) offer fast and high-performance optical flame detection over extensive distances, and superior false-alarm immunity when operating in challenging environments. All Spyglass flame detectors are available with optional…
The GFPP-B TB Series ball valve (photo) is constructed of glass-filled polyproylene black (GFPP-B), which increases the range of piping applications that can be serviced with this company’s True Union ball valve product line to include chemical handling, mining, agriculture,…
Discontinued series IDs associated with producer prices for storage tanks requires a modification to the CEPCI The Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) is a widely used tool for comparing plant construction costs in the chemical process industries (CPI) between…
Using the food-and-beverage industry as an example, these considerations can help engineers design new facilities with sustainability built in Rapid population growth and geopolitical tensions continue to keep food security a top priority for nations all over the world. These…
Monitoring particle sizes in real time can improve product quality and reduce costs in chemical processes. Presented here is an overview of available technologies for particle-size analysis and an example involving suspension polymerization Effective measurement, in real time, of particle…
The Zero Emission Electro-Hydraulic actuator (photo) provides a comprehensive solution to lower emissions without requiring pipeline gas as the actuator’s primary power supply. Pipeline actuators have previously relied on using the gas from the pipeline as a power source, which…
A recently developed optimization technique called the automated targeting model is demonstrated for its application on inventory management Supply chain management that involves raw material sourcing, product manufacturing and delivery has often been viewed as one of the critical factors…
This company has recently added 4–20-mA signal capabilities to its Chem-Feed CD1 multi-diaphragm metering pump (photo) and its Flexflo A1 peristaltic metering pump. The 4–20 mA signal can be sent from the pump to a SCADA system where operators can…
The PSRmodular XC (eXtended Conditions) configurable safety modules (photo) enables functional safety requirements to be reliably implemented, even under extreme ambient conditions. The new modules have an extended temperature range of up to 70°C. They are equipped with a coated…
