The new Metso Pulp Analyzer provides the first online measurement of micro-scale details of fiber properties, thereby giving pulp and papermakers a tool to help predict how fiber properties will affect final sheet-strength properties. The pulp analyzer features a new…
Virtually every process-plant manager pursues the commendable goals of safely extending equipment life and maximizing both the availability and reliability of plant assets. Achieving these objectives usually requires upfront effort and money — both of which can be scarce resources.…
The TX-3000 pH/mV Transmitter monitors changes in process fluids, displaying pH or oxidation-reduction potential (ORP; measured in mV), and temperatures for more accurate process control in water, chemical, electronics, food production, environmental and wastewater applications. The line-powered TX-3000 can be…
Based on the patented StrainCell sensor technology, the new Solo-L level-measurement system is said to improve on existing silo-level-measurement devices by eliminating problems caused by material density, angle of repose, wave reflection and dust clouds common to other technologies. The…
The Perspecto CP television merges a human-machine interface (HMI) with a programmable logic controller (PLC) in one package. Traditional configurations utilize separate PLC hardware and software, and HMI hardware and software, the company says, but the Perspecto CP is a…
The PCMini52 relative humidity (RH) and temperature probe utilizes a thin-film capacitive sensor, which is designed for extremely fast response and long-term stability for repeatable measurements. The design provides a large capacitive response to small changes in humidity that, in…
While almost all chemical processors employ simulation software during the early design stages of new plants or new lines, simulation vendors say best-in-class facilities take the powerful tools further and use them for improving operations and profitability. And, across the…
How to utilize a pipeline inspection gauge (pig) in a crude-oil pipeline that requires a pressure control valve can be a bewildering question for process engineers, especially in cases where the oil pipeline does not have any pig-launcher and receiver…
When designing a batch system, engineers often select the control solution based on the size of the system. It is traditionally thought that small batch systems require a controller-based sequencing solution, while larger systems require a server-based solution. However, despite…
The new PulsFox PMG 10 guided micropulse level indicators are designed to measure the level of high- or low-viscosity, adhesive, conductive or isolating liquids or bulk solids in storage or process containers, silos or tanks. The level indicator operates on…
