Absorber Optimization: Employing Process Simulation Software

Raw materials and energy represent two of the largest expenses in the chemical process industries (CPI). Energy reduction is necessary to sustain cost-effective production and manage capacity in the ever-changing CPI marketplace. Process simulation software can prove extremely valuable in…

Spring terminals speed signal conditioners’ installation

The 12.5-mm wide KC Series Signal Conditioners — said to be the most compact signal conditioners available today — are now available with spring terminals to simplify and speed installation. In addition to their slim footprint, KC modules consume minimal…

Focus on Level Measurement

Vega Grieshaber KG Reliable switching down to –196°C The Vegaswing 66 vibrating level switch is said to be the first of a kind for extreme temperatures. Especially suitable for cryogenic liquids, the device switches reliably in process temperatures from –196…

This jet fuel analyzer enhances safety through automation

The Alcor JFTOT 230 Mark IV (JFTOT IV) is a new jet-fuel thermal oxidation analyzer designed for increased safety and simplicity. New safety measures in this compact model ensure minimal jet-fuel vapor-exposure to personnel and the environment through the sample…

Inline sampling enables NIR measurement in closed processes

The improved PowderVision sampling system (photo) makes it possible to measure moisture in powders, granulates and flakes flowing within enclosed ducts or gravity-fed conveying systems. Designed to work with the company’s NDC 710e NIR (near infrared) Moisture or Multicomponent Gauge,…

Guided radar for measurement certainty of bulk solids

Thanks to its new automated probe-end tracking function, the VegaFlex 82 radar sensor measures the level of bulk solids even with a low dielectric constant of 1.1 and higher with unprecedented reliability, says the company. When there is an increasingly…

Measure energy consumption with a module instead of equipment

The new three-phase 750-49x Power Measurement Modules provide voltage, current and many other measurement parameters, allowing for comprehensive grid analysis. The modules within the fieldbus-independent I/O System 750 transmit metrics (for instance reactive/apparent/effective power, energy consumption, power factor, phase angle,…

Reduce commissioning time with this WirelessHART gateway

  The new Ethernet/IP WirelessHART gateway is fully integrated into Logix from Rockwell, making it the company’s default WirelessHART gateway. However, other process control systems that support communication via Ethernet/IP can also be connected to the new gateway. The high…

This analyzer now complies with NE 21

The LiquiSonic analyzer (photo) now complies with the increased electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements proposed under the Namur Recommendation NE 21. NE 21 requires that the devices used in laboratory and process control are immune to interference. With the EMC conformity,…
