Digital transformation in the chemical process industries demands open architecture, enterprise-wide interoperability and a focus on sustainability. Progress discussed here is moving the industry in that direction Many companies in the chemical process industries (CPI) are currently pursuing digital transformations…
This company has launched a new specialized thermistor variant aimed at mid-range temperature-sensing tasks for tight-tolerance instrumentation in non-condensing moisture environments. The ENTC-EI-10k9777-02 thermistor (photo) is based on a Stycast epoxy-encapsulated core with Kynar insulation for maximum durability across a…
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…
While it may be easy to fixate on the costs and efforts associated with implementing ESG programs, taking a closer look at ESG can reveal many untapped advantages Environmental, social and governance (ESG) programs are intended to encourage companies to…
Potential maintenance and repair cost savings are significant when employing vapor corrosion inhibitors either as a standalone mitigation technique, or as a complement to conventional cathodic protection methods, in aboveground storage tanks Mitigation of external corrosion on the bottoms of…
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…
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…
With the vipro-PUMP series (photo), this company is launching a totally new generation of dispensers. A new design, optimized dosing components and modular construction provide numerous opportunities for adapting the dosing equipment even more effectively to the relevant application. The…
Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore; www.ntu.edu.sg) have developed a technique to convert waste paper, from single-use packaging, bags and cardboard boxes, into electrodes, which can be made into rechargeable batteries that power mobile phones, medical equipment and…
The E-finity (photo) is a continuous dense-phase conveying system for fragile materials. Precise pressure monitoring and airflow corrections allow the system to operate efficiently under all conditions, while gently inducing materials through the conveying line in slug form. E-finity is…
