Relative Backscatter Index (RBI) is a new process analytical technology (PAT) technique that indicates how particle size, shape and concentration changes in real time under actual process conditions. Unlike turbidity measurements, which lack sensitivity and can be difficult to interpret,…
The new GHS 350-900 VSD+ vacuum pump range gives users energy savings of around 50% compared to traditional rotary-vane pumps, says the manufacturer. Based on the well-known and durable plug-and-play design principles of the company’s compressors, these vacuum pumps have…
While the first applications of wireless technology were limited to simply monitoring processes, now WirelessHART can be integrated into the regulating process for controlling ball valves, fans and other mechanical devices. The discrete WirelessHART I/O field device (photo) can capture…
The new HiPace 30 turbopump (photo) is currently the only turbopump on the market in its size class offering pumping speeds of 32 L/s. Its small installation footprint and low level of vibration make this pump particularly suitable for integration…
The new Schütz impeller (photo) is a one-way stirring system that is integrated into the screw cap of intermediate bulk container (IBCs). The impeller system is available for all 1,000- and 1,250-L Ecobulk types and fits both the DN 150…
Measuring the concentration of sulfuric acid and oleum is an important process parameter to ensure safety, product quality and production efficiency. LiquiSonic analyzers (photo) are used for high-precision concentration measurement in production of sulfuric acid, oleum and fertilizers, synthesis gas…
The JetMaster process was combined with the new JetPower system, which accelerates the cleaning of finned heat exchangers in the case of very large and heavily contaminated surfaces (photo). Finned heat exchangers can be very easily contaminated, often by sand,…
Overspeed protection is a key requirement in industries where failure of the turbine- or pump-speed governing system can lead to rotor damage, with expensive consequences. Independent speed monitoring and protection is therefore an essential requirement to minimize these risks as…
This company has expanded its Scalance M wireless router series by adding two new devices. The Scalance M876-3 is ideally suited for transmitting data via third generation wireless internet access (3G). In Europe, these are the well-known UMTS networks, with…
The Intermodal Container Disc (ICD) is a fully lined rupture disc that provides high-performance overpressure protection with an operating ratio of up to 90% combined with a±5% burst tolerance. When directly installed between industry-standard flange fittings, the ICD can protect…
