The IGA-003-MC (photo) is a turnkey system for binary gas sorption that features a gravimetric analyzer, coupled mass spectrometer and an optimized gas-delivery and sampling system. Measuring multicomponent gas sorption equilibria is essential to characterize and assess adsorbents for many…
This company has released two new level-control panels — the LC 231 (photo) and LC 241. These controllers make setup and integration of one or two pump controls easier, with predefined settings and an intuitive dashboard on a Bluetooth-connected application…
Featuring a durable, low-maintenance solenoid drive equipped with double-ball valves, the NSP Series of solenoid metering pumps (photo) provide consistent and precise dosing of a variety of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, coagulants and flocculants. The compact design and easy-to-use control…
The Dynasonics TFX-5000 ultrasonic clamp-on flow and energy meters (photo) are designed for non-invasive, ultrasonic transit-time measurement for use in water and wastewater treatment, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and oil-and-gas applications. TFX-5000 meters measure volumetric flow and heating…
The Forge Cybersecurity Platform (photo) improves cybersecurity performance at a single site or across an enterprise by increasing visibility of vulnerabilities and threats, mitigating risks and improving management efficiency. The new platform safely moves data from one site to another…
The model HD-3.5-9-SS ribbon blender features an integral bag-dump station that collects dust generated during manual dumping activities, improving worker safety and plant hygiene. Dust is drawn onto the cartridge filters of the dust collector, as nozzles within each filter…
The Orbit 60 Series (photo) is a next-generation condition-monitoring and protection platform that collects and processes data to evaluate machine health. It is said to be the first intrinsically cyber-secure machinery-monitoring platform with a built-in data diode, which enables secure…
This article provides an overview of how computational fluid dynamics (CFD) works, and what benefits it can bring to the chemical process industries Sustainability, waste reduction, energy efficiency and increased demand for engineered material are driving process engineers to continuously…
Portable laptop computers and smartphones can be used to emulate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling results using this interpolation procedure Most engineers are familiar with computational-fluid-dynamics (CFD) models and their power (for an overview of CFD, see Part 1). At…
This practical overview of ASTM standards can serve as a roadmap when selecting and evaluating heat transfer fluids Heat-transfer-fluid systems are often used for process heating to 500°F or higher. To accomplish heating above 500°F, steam pressure must be above…
