One of the most important measurements in the chemical process industries (CPI) is rate of flow. Flowrates can be important to measure, and in fact can be critical to measure, throughout a process — from dosing components into a reactor…
As engineers in the chemical process industries (CPI) are pressed harder to meet deadlines in the workplace, the amount of information available to them in their field is growing at an exponential pace. To address the situation, chemistry- and engineering-oriented…
The DA 7300 Inline NIR (near infrared) analyzer has been upgraded and can now be seamlessly integrated into industrial environments using OPC and RS-Linx. The instrument has already been integrated with Siemens S7, using built-in OPC server; with Schneider Electric…
The rotating paddle switches of the series Rotonivo RN3000, RN6000 and RN4000 are now available with universal voltage electronics. This means these level switches can be used anywhere in the world, regardless of the country’s input voltage system, without the…
Developed for laboratories conducting environmental, geological and waste-disposal analysis, the Xepos HE (heavy element) x-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrument is optimized for the analysis of medium and heavy elements. It achieves detection limits that are a factor of five to ten…
The new WX Series of gas-detection alarm controllers consists of three controllers: the WX4 (four-channel controller), the WX16 (16-channel controller) and the WX 64 (64-channel controller). The WX Series controllers are designed for continuous monitoring of up to four, 16…
A new post-processing tool for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis allows engineers to more easily manipulate and manage data from multiple simulations. Known as Chorus, the software package can quickly analyze up to thousands of computer simulation cases simultaneously, enabling…
The newest version of the 3D plant-design software AutoPlant V8i is fully compatible with 64-bit computer operating systems, allowing faster processing speeds, according to the company that develops the software. The AutoPlant V8i’s ability to support the creation of so-called…
The LSS-140-ST is designed to allow sampling of high-temperature or hazardous-material slurries without personnel contact. Suitable for a wide range of process industries, the LSS-140-ST has two flanged connections for integration with the sample piping, and a back-mounted bracket to…
Apprion, a vendor and service provider of Industrial Wireless Application Systems for the process manufacturing industry, says it has a Wireless Application Site Plan at the BASF FINA Petrochemicals LP facility in Port Arthur, Texas (BFLP). Apprion's team of wireless…
