The IS-TH1 (photo) is said to be the first handheld barcode scanner for use in hazardous areas and other industrial environments. The new device incorporates scanning technology from Zebra, and has been developed for two ranges. A mid-range variant scans…
The tiltable Dima bag emptier (photo) can improve product intake processes, since less time is needed to clean, inspect or replace parts. The tiltable body enables the Dima to be opened for easy access to areas that are normally difficult…
The Pascal CV4 pressure transmitter (photo) has a high-resolution graphic display with backlighting. The device meets all typical requirements for pharmaceutical processing. Its high accuracy enables precise dosing in the filling process so that valuable product is not lost. The…
This company recently launched a rotating Cleanflow magnetic separator (photo) suitable for installation in free-fall lines in a continuous process. Cleaning takes place without stopping the product flow. During the cleaning cycle, the magnets stay in the product flow. This…
Following a standardized project-development process, in combination with a robust cost-estimate classification system, can help to ensure that projects meet their financial goals Cost estimating is critical to support decision-making during the project development process for projects in the chemical…
Caprolactam (Figure 1) is a cyclic amide widely used as a chemical intermediate. The main forms of caprolactam are molten (liquid) and flakes. At ambient temperatures, it is a white, hygroscopic, crystalline solid. Almost all caprolactam is used as monomer…
Physical adsorption phenomena play a critical role in many separation and purification processes, including separations of industrial gases, purification of gases, moisture removal from fluids, water purification and others. Adsorption is a surface phenomenon in which a fluid (gas or…
The Joukowsky equation is often relied upon to determine the maximum possible fluid pressure inside a pipe, but there are certain scenarios where this equation does not return the expected conservative result for overpressurization We engineers love our formulas. Especially…
There are several technologies used in the disposal of landfill gas (LFG). Here are some key elements that can guide engineers in designing an optimized LFG processing plant People generate trash. Trash is stored in landfills. Landfills contain bacteria, which…
