Facts At Your Fingertips: Hydrogen flame hazards and leak detection

The use of molecular hydrogen is common across the chemical process industries (CPI). Annually, 70 million metric tons of H2 are produced worldwide. Most industrial H2 production currently occurs via steam reforming of methane, but production via water electrolysis is…

Graphene-oxide filtration membrane for harsh chemical environments

Filtration is being investigated as an alternative to thermal separation methods (such as distillation and evaporation) in many applications because of the potential energy savings, but conventional filtration membranes, such as those used in water desalination, are often not robust…

Monitor and configure networks intuitively with these switches

IT specialists rarely perform the implementation, commissioning and maintenance of Ethernet installations, so this company is introducing its Lean-Managed Switches (photo) for secure and robust network installations, as well as for ensuring high availability and security. The new switches are…

Introducing a new range of bellows seal valves

This company has expanded its product line to include a range of bellows seal valves, including the BSA (photo) and A3S isolation valves. These valves are engineered to maintain plant safety and save energy by totally eliminating stem seal leaks,…

A compact computer for entry-level IIoT applications

The BL2 BPC 1500 (photo) is a compact industrial PC (IPC) for rugged environments with limited space. This box IPC is designed for entry-level automation, small machine control and industrial internet of things (IIoT) applications, such as edge or fog…

New multigas detector measures in low-ppb range

The focus of the X-act 7000, in combination with the MicroTubes for different gases and vapors, is to measure carcinogenic and toxic substances in the lower parts-per-billion (ppb) range. The range of gases to be measured is being constantly expanded.…

A new generation of thermal mass flowmeters

The new Proline t-mass F/I 300/500 thermal mass flowmeters (photo) are reliable and versatile for measuring pure gases and gas mixtures, and each has numerous alarm functions, as well as bidirectional measurement capability and reverse flow detection. The flowmeters are…
