Recent advancements in coatings technologies are driving the industry toward more sustainable performance Globally, there has been an increase in the number of chemicals identified as “chemicals of concern,” as well as restrictions on the emissions of volatile organic compounds…
Understanding the mechanisms driving corrosion-prevention technologies will help engineers to select the best coating materials and application procedures to ensure proper protection Corrosion is a serious problem for all industries, but especially so in the chemical process industries (CPI). Just…
The HI-TBS programmable logic controller (PLC; photo) combines ultra-bright LED technology with 0.1% accuracy to deliver a customizable digital panel meter for applicational use across a wide variety of industries. In addition to serving as a PLC, the TBS is…
OmniStar (photo) and ThermoStar GSD 350 are compact, portable benchtop instruments for analyzing gases at atmospheric pressure. They are particularly used for applications in chemical processes, in the semiconductor industry, metallurgy, fermentation, catalysis, freeze-drying and environmental analysis. The gas inlet…
With this company’s new cover-installation concept for Ex control boxes and cabinets, users can install components directly onto the backside of the enclosure cover (photo), rather than on mounting rails deep in the control stations. Enclosures that are equipped in…
The TBIP and TBPN full safety block input/output (I/O) modules (photo) control safety applications directly from the field and thus simplify modular machinery for Profisafe and CIP Safety, respectively. The robust IP67 modules provide safety input and output signals directly…
This company recently fabricated a pre-filter vessel constructed of 304L stainless steel, capable of 200 psi and full vacuum at 200°F. It is designed, built and stamped according to ASME Code Section VIII, Div. 1. The vessel has a working…
SafeGuard (photo) is an IoT-enabled (internet of things) pump-monitoring system that remotely tracks, records and alerts users to key performance indicators — such as leak detection, stroke rate and total stroke count — of air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps during operation.…
The new multifunctional MACX-TR timer relays (photo) make simple time-control applications smart. The combination of push-buttons and innovative OLED display allows easy operation directly at the device. As an option, NFC communication and the smartphone application (app) provide further setting…
The OC200 orbital cleaner (photo) rotates around the horizontal and vertical axis, providing a modular and efficient solution for the cleaning of hygienic process, storage and fermentation tanks of all sizes. The OC200 can be equipped with two, three or…
