This new software version includes solids modeling Aspen Technology The latest iteration of this company’s process automation software, aspenONE V8, was recently released with new functionality, including solids modeling. The integration of the solids modeling capability eliminates the “silos” that…
Whether for pumping, mixing, compression or ventilation, motors are used everywhere in the chemical process industries (CPI). Unfortunately, they are notoriously energy intensive, accounting for about 65% of the electrical consumption of a chemical production site. However, with the world,…
Mag-View is a compact, high-quality, yet economical, device for measuring liquid flowrates in applications where flow sensors with moving parts cannot be applied. Its interference-free operation, combined with a long lifecycle and independence from the inlet and outlet pipework makes…
To best meet specific application needs, the DT722 relative humidity (RH) and temperature transmitter is available in digital (DT722) and analog (DT722-X18) models. The digital version gives high performance measurement with “excellent” RH accuracy and delivers reliable, consistent and accurate…
The Afriso DA 10, 12 and 14 digital display units are suitable for displaying measured values and evaluating and controlling standard signals (4–20 mA, 0–1 and 0–10 V) from electronic transducers, especially in level applications. The connected transducer is supplied…
By using electrothermal vaporization (ETV) for sample introduction, this company has greatly improved the sensitivity of its Arcos ICP-OES spectrometer for material-analysis applications. Trials verify that detection limits can be improved by an order of magnitude. At much lower cost,…
Four-channel analog I/O modules can be placed in a 16-mm-wide enclosure due to a new energy-saving electrical design. This results in a space savings of 50% compared to the predecessor model, says the company. The new design reduces the cost…
Pressure-relief valves are widely and effectively used in situations where the pressure in a process vessel rises to above the vessel’s design-pressure rating. Proper relief-valve sizing is critical to plant and process safety to permit fluids sufficient flow area to…
The RotaMass LR (photo) is claimed to be the world’s smallest dual bent-tube Coriolis mass flowmeter. The unit is designed to be self-draining and to measure both liquids and gases, with a mass flow measurement span from 0 to 40…
Omega Engineering A compact pressure transmitter for easy reading Rangeable industrial pressure transmitters in the PX5100 Series (photo) are compact and feature a backlit display for easy reading that rotates for its location. Wetted parts are made of stainless steel,…
