Thermodynamics for process simulation reviewed by ChemStation’s Hill

Reviewed by David Hill, Chemstations Inc., Houston   The authors of this text are leaders in chemical engineering thermodynamics. Based on their status, I recommended this book in a blog entry before even seeing a review copy — and I’m…

Detect gas leaks at the source with this handy device

The portable GSP3 and GSP3 Flex (photo) gas detectors are designed for fast and reliable detection of leaks of inflammable gases at gas pipes and connections, gas meters, gas burners and gas tanks. The GSP3 Flex is equipped with a…

Focus on Flowmeters

Endress+Hauser A flowmeter designed for biogas The Proline Prosonic B200 ultrasonic flowmeter (photo) measures flowrate and methane content of wet biogas, landfill or digester gas, and other types of low-pressure, wet or contaminated gas. The company has optimized transit-time ultrasonic…

A retractable assembly for sterile pH measurements

  The Cleanfit CPA875 pH retractable assembly provides reliable protection against bacterial contamination of processes, thus making it suitable for safe, automated pH measurement in sterile processes. The Cleanfit assembly is made of 1.4435/316L stainless steel with smooth, electropolished surfaces…

Inline control of cleaner concentration and rinsing baths

The inline analyzer, Liquisonic can be used for the reliable and economical operation of processes for cleaning surfaces. The sensor of the system continuously measures the cleaner concentration directly in the process, thereby ensuring that the values will not exceed…

A transmitter with two more sensor inputs

  The modular multichannel multiCell transmitter/controller type 8619 is an individually adjustable measuring system with extended functionalities that can be used with a wide range of sensors. This system is now extended with the addition of a new signal input…

Count and analyze particles in small-volume samples

The Pamas SBBS laboratory particle analyzer system has been upgraded to be equipped with an optional, small pressure-vessel container for handling small sample volumes (1–5 mL) of high-viscosity liquids, such as protein solutions. This new integrated pressure container is used…

Information Management for Improved Materials R&D

Information management provides a way to develop new materials, products or formulations more rapidly, on the basis of the information that a company already possesses in-house, while providing insight that can be used to guide experimentation and predict results —…

Space-saving I/O modules with fast maintenance functions

The new four-channel universal I/O module LB104A for Zone 2 can be placed in a 16-mm wide enclosure due to a new energy-saving electrical design. This is a space saving of 50% compared to the predecessor model. Thus, costs-per-channel can…
