The Ex-Handy 10 intrinsically safe 4G/LTE smartphone (photo) is now globally approved for Zone 1/21 and Div. 1. The phone has also completed testing and certification for the Sprint Open Market program. Designed for harsh environments, the Ex-Handy 10 is…
The new generation of building automation controllers, Desigo PXC4 and PXC5 (photo), offers a wide range of benefits for automating small- and medium-sized buildings. Thanks to the new, license-free Desigo Engineering Framework, devices can now be seamlessly integrated in the…
The VPT vertical process blender (photo) is said to provide 25% less torque demand and a discharge of up to 98% when compared with horizontal drum blenders, making it suitable for mixing pasty products with high solids content. The VPT…
The Chem-Pro CD1 multi-diaphragm metering pump (photo) offers continuous pumping for gas-forming chemicals, such as peracetic acid or sodium hypochlorite. The CD1’s drive technology is self-priming and will not vapor lock. The CD1 features a patented ultra-durable diaphragm, called DiaFlex,…
This company recently designed a new skid system (photo) capable of mixing and pumping low to moderately viscous products. The Model VSL-400 system features a conical vessel on a movable skid with a progressive-cavity pump rated for flowrates ranging from…
Last month, this company released Visio P&ID Process Designer 2020 (VPID 2020), a software platform envisioned to create smart piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) and process-flow diagrams (PFDs). VPID 2020 is equipped with enhanced functionalities on a Visio-based platform and…
Understanding project risks is critical to arriving at useful cost estimates. Since each capital project in the chemical process industries (CPI) is somewhat unique, it can be difficult for engineers and project leaders to price risks in their estimates and…
The new Model CV check valve (photo) features a sealing system with a self-centering piston, which reliably prevents backflow of liquid and gaseous media. The reliability of the new instrumentation valve is mainly due to its redundant sealing, consisting of…
Due to Dual Channel functionality —which enables sensor operation to be analog, digital or both simultaneously — this company’s process sensors, including the CombiLyz AFI conductivity sensor and the PP20H pressure sensor (photo), work both in conventional control topologies and…
The recently enhanced LMV 803Lr (photo) is a direct-drive, vertical inline centrifugal pump designed to handle high flowrates. Featuring a novel inducer technology and backswept impeller, the pump can achieve ultra-low NPSHr (net positive suction head required) without the risk…
