The Acid Storage Cabinet (photo) is designed for the storage of corrosive chemicals and is available in seven different widths between 12 and 48 in. The standard size is 35 in. high and 22 in. deep. The molded one-piece fiberglass…
Extrusion is a highly versatile process that can be applied to a wide range of plant-based raw materials to create meat or fish alternatives. An integral part of the process is the cooling die. Cooling dies work with extrusion technology…
The CobaSeal (photo) is a robust separation seal with a unique coaxial operating principle. Design studies confirm the CobaSeal maintains its mechanical integrity up to 70 bars and minimizes process gas flow to the bearing cavity when retained properly. The…
MaxxDrive industrial gear units provide high output torque from 132,000 to 2,200,000 lb-in. The gear units are suitable for use in heavy-duty applications, such as bucket elevators, agitators, conveyor belt drives, mixers, mills, drums or crushers. MaxxDrive is available as…
Changing from a conventional mixer to an ultra-high-shear mixer led to improved dispersions, increased production capacities, and reduced electricity and labor costs As the days get sunnier, people will be looking to sunscreens to protect their skin from the harmful…
Catalyst-impregnated ceramic filter elements can achieve simultaneous removal of multiple air-pollutant species in a modular, space-saving layout The three most common pollutants found in the air we breathe are particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx). These…
Expanders can take advantage of pressure reductions to drive rotating machines. Information on how to assess the potential benefits of installing expanders is provided here Often in the chemical process industries (CPI), “a considerable amount of energy is wasted in…
Any corrosion process in which microorganisms initiate, facilitate or accelerate corrosive chemical reactions is termed microbially influenced corrosion (MIC). MIC occurs when the chemical, microbiological and physical conditions allow the active growth of biofilms containing specific types of microbes on…
Careful attention to even the smallest details will help to prevent operational problems in filtration processes Filtration operations are widely used to achieve effective solid-liquid separations in the chemical process industries (CPI). Industrial filtration installations can involve a variety of…
To maximize the service life and reliability of rotary dryers for solid materials, adhere to this set of practices Rotary dryers have a well-deserved reputation for reliability, often providing decades of trouble-free operation in solids-handling processes. As with any type…
