This company has extended its single-use product line of quaternary (four-piston) diaphragm pumps with the introduction of the next-generation QF5kSU (photo). Incorporating a patented valve-plate design that improves drainability and venting, the QF5kSU reduces the required minimum flowrate needed to…
The new Ethernet-APL HART Converter (HM-APL-PCB; photo) enables transmitter manufacturers to easily convert existing HART transmitters to the new Ethernet Advanced Physical Layer (APL) interface. The printed circuit board (PCB) can be customized to incorporate special features or size requirements.…
The SpillGuard leak-recognition system (photo) instantly alerts users when a leak is detected. This FM-approved technology is placed within the sump of a spill-containment device, or near the equipment to be monitored, and alerts users with an audible and visual…
The LiftTrack 2.0 (photo) is a new indicator device for pressure safety valves (PSVs) that enables users to capture data on the various lift events that occur within a safety valve. The LiftTrack 2.0 device is connected to the valve…
The MT100 Series multipoint mass flowmeter (photo) provides air-gas flow measurements to help optimize boiler performance and reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse-gas emissions. These devices feature compact thermal-dispersion flow-sensor technology. They accurately monitor and report the flowrate or the totalized…
Designed with efficiency and mobility in mind, the Model HSM-405SC-25 inline high-shear mixer (photo) features the Solids/Liquid Injection Manifold (SLIM) technology. The SLIM technology is a unique rotor-stator device capable of injecting powders directly into a fast-moving liquid stream without…
This company has launched a digital optimizer for the Editube wet electrostatic precipitator (WESP). The new WESP Optimizer improves the operation of the WESP unit by better adjusting it to changes in the overall process, and has important built-in functions…
Measuring temperature is required in nearly all chemical processes, but engineers often struggle with implementation. Here are suggestions to avoid common pitfalls Measuring temperature in chemical processing applications remains, arguably, the most misunderstood of the four main process variables, which…
While thermowells have become well-established, they have potential drawbacks that can affect their performance. The benefits of alternative non-invasive temperature sensing is presented here Temperature is one of the most important parameters for industrial processes, providing a key indicator of…
The NT3100sc and the NT3200sc ultraviolet (UV) nitrate and nitrite sensors (photo) are designed with enhanced accuracy and a lower limit of detection at 0.02 mg/L. Leveraging reagent-free UV absorbance technology, NT3 Series sensors are equipped to meet a wide…
