One controller manages multiple feeders
The GUC-F Universal Feeder Controller (photo) allows additional feeding capacity to be installed to meet increased or changing production demands without purchasing additional, individual controllers for each feeder. Devised to future-proof against sudden demand spikes and provide flexibility to accommodate…
Magnetic position sensors with IO-Link
This company has extended its offering of compact position sensors with the WIM-IOL series (photo) for detecting magnetic pistons in pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders. The new series consists of eight sensors with IO-Link 1.1, covering measuring ranges from 32 to…
This natural-gas analyzer now has new features
A new version of the J22 tunable diode-laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) gas analyzer (photo) now includes support for the Modbus TCP/IP protocol, which enables users to communicate with their analyzers from a central network location in a bidirectional, secure point-to-point…
Optimized safety and efficiency in confined-space operations
The new X-Viz confined space monitoring system (photo) is a complete safety-monitoring system designed to meet OSHA requirements during plant turnarounds. By integrating gas detection, video monitoring, alarms and access control technologies, X-Viz allows fewer safety attendants to remotely monitor…
A biosolids granulator for the treatment of sewage
The biosolids granulator (photo) is a dry-on-demand system for the treatment of sewage sludge from municipal and industrial wastewater-treatment plants. It combines existing centrifuge-based dewatering with proven drying technology. This process, said to be unique in the world in this…
Silicone-coated gloves for window manufacturing
The RepTek Grip silicone palm-coated gloves provide adhesion resistance paired with high cut resistance and dexterity. Hot butyl can become bothersome when it sticks to gloves, shortening the life and costing more money. This new silicone coating prevents sealant or…
Ethernet remote I/O modules with conditional logic computing
BusWorks NT series remote I/O modules (photo) are now enhanced with conditional logic. The conditional logic increases the functionality with a system of rules that allows extremely complicated decisions based on relatively simple “yes/no” questions. For example, reading an analog…
Achieve fast, high-resolution detection with this spectrometer
The EDX-7200 energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (photo) is equipped with a high-resolution silicon drift detector (SDD) to achieve a higher count rate and detection efficiency than its predecessor models. Along with the SDD, the EDX-7200 incorporates a high-speed circuit that…
Facts At Your Fingertips: Gas Dispersion in Liquids
Injecting gases through a diffuser into a liquid is an important aspect of many operations in the chemical process industries (CPI). Important applications include dissolving reactant gases into a liquid phase for further reaction (such as in hydrogenation, oxidation, ozonation),…
Show Preview – HYDROGENEXT
Concepts surrounding the hydrogen economy are quickly becoming practically realized as industries turn their focus to decarbonization initiatives. To address this rapidly evolving sector, the HydrogeNext conference (www.hydrogenextevent.com), taking place October 3–5 at the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Conference Center…
