Albemarle Lithium Pty Ltd has awarded Metso Outotec Oy (Helsinki, Finland) an order for two pyro processing and comminution lines for their Kemerton lithium hydroxide processing plant in Western Australia. Previously, Metso Outotec has delivered two similar pyro process lines…
NOVA Chemicals Corp. (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) announced that its second Advanced SCLAIRTECH technology (AST2) facility and the third phase of the Corunna Cracker Expansion Project have each reached mechanical completion. The world-scale AST2 facility, located at the new Rokeby Site…
In a typical bulk-solids pneumatic-conveying system, an air mover is used to generate the necessary air flowrate and pressure required to transport a solid material through a pipeline at a given rate. This one-page reference discusses the operating mechanisms and…
SmartVane (photo) is rotary vane pump with a hermetically sealed pump housing. The pump serves as a backing pump for mass spectrometers (ICP-MS, LC/MS), for applications in environmental and food analytics, as well as in pharmaceutical and clinical analytics. This…
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 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…
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…
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…
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…
