Rupture disks are non-reclosing pressure-relief devices that protect vessels, such as reactors, from damaging over-pressurization (or vacuum) conditions. Temperature can affect rupture-disk burst pressures in ways that users should understand before ordering them (Figure 1). This one-page reference provides an…
This company is expanding its range of fluid sensors with IO-Link-capable sensors for flexible and reliable process temperature measurement. Both compact devices are equipped with an integrated temperature probe (TS700), as well as processing and display units (TS720) for connecting…
By exploring strategies for process integration, such as waste-heat recovery and combined heat and power generation, plants can significantly improve their energy efficiency and reduce utility costs In a chemical processing plant, utility costs typically account for about 10 to…
Steam and condensate-return systems can be susceptible to unique forms of corrosion. This overview explains how to prevent or minimize such issues Steam is utilized for process heating and other applications at thousands of industrial plants in the chemical process…
