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.…
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…
This company’s MSI-4260 and MSI 3460 crane scale models have been upgraded to allow its use with a new remote display. Compatibility with the remote display product offers an added advantage of seeing and controlling weight data wirelessly from a…
The new Model HPK compact pressure transducer is available with a choice of pressure and electrical connections. Said to be dependable, precise and affordable, this analog output device offers either current or voltage outputs to indicate readings from vacuum through…
The newly launched sensALIGN is an intelligent sensor system for machinery alignment. By incorporating the patented intelligent-sensor technology from a partner into its own platform, this company offers 100% accuracy (0% accuracy loss), guaranteed, it says. The seneALIGN unit automatically…
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…
