VpCI-396 is a very hard but flexible corrosion-inhibiting coating that cures in high-humidity conditions. VpCI-396 is a solvent-based moisture-cure urethane that can be used as a direct-to-metal (DTM) primer, and in some cases a topcoat. It provides protection in harsh,…
The Interceptor-QV explosion-isolation device (photo) uses a patented system where a differential pressure switch continuously monitors the pressure drop across the mesh cartridge, alerting operators if buildup of dust occurs on the mesh. The core feature of the Interceptor-QV is…
The DC Tromb line of dust extractors (photo) features several recently updated models. The recently remodelled versions of the Tromb range meet modern safety requirements while offering ergonomic and modular functions. One of the major updates is that the new…
The new C-30 C-clamp (photo) permanently mounts on machinery while retracting easily without tools for quick access to the interior of a variety of machinery, such as dryers, mixers, conveyors, tanks and reactors. The new clamp delivers up to 1,700…
Forblue S-Series ion-exchange membranes (photo) are designed for electrolysis and electrodialysis applications that require robust chemical-resistance performance. Because they are made from fluorinated resins, all S-Series wet and dry grades ensure chemical resistance and mechanical strength, while providing outstanding current-carrying…
The System One Series of high-temperature centrifugal pumps (photo) utilizes flanges, elastomers and a unique centerline mount to support high operating temperatures. These design features allow System One high-temperature pumps to safely and reliably transfer critical and valuable fluids in…
SmartCut BKCR2403 cut-resistant gloves (photo) are designed for jobs that not only need cut and abrasion resistance, but still require a focus on long-wearing grip, dexterity and flexibility. This light-duty, cut-resistant glove offers ANSI Cut Resistance Level 2 protection balanced…
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…
Area electrical classification is a powerful tool for process safety. It is not, however, the only viable approach to a safe process Electrically classifying an area is a long-standing safety measure in the petrochemical and related industries. It is also…
UPM Group (Helsinki Finland) is moving forward with its biofuels growth plans and starting the basic engineering phase of a next-generation biorefinery. The potential biorefinery would have an annual capacity of 500,000 metric tons per year (m.t./yr) of high-quality renewable…
