Newson Gale Avert static electricity buildup with this hose-continuity tester The OhmGuard Hose-Continuity Tester is designed to continuously ensure that a string of assembled hoses are safely grounded to the transferring vehicle during operations that may produce potentially combustible gas,…
CSIRO Minerals Down Under Flagship (Perth, Western Australia; www.csiro.au/MDU) has developed a method that uses hydrotalcite formation to simultaneously remove contaminants from mining and industrial wastewaters in a single step. Current wastewater-treatment processes typically produce lime-based slurries, often with large…
NEDO and Hitachi Ltd. (Tokyo, www.hitachi.com) have developed a new combustion technology that could reduce the emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) to below 10 ppm without the addition of diluents. As part of the CCS-IGCC project (carbon capture and…
To comply with increasingly stringent regulations for NOx emissions, operators of industrial plants often turn to low-NOx burners to avoid much more costly post-combustion treatment approaches like selective catalytic reduction (SCR). But low-NOx burners are plagued by significant losses in…
A process that uses magnetic nanoparticles, coated with a reactive material, to clean up contaminated water for human use is being developed at Stanford University (Stanford, Calif.; www.stanford.edu). The nanoscavengers, as they are called, are distributed in the water to…
Ammonia is a promising candidate for scrubbing carbon dioxide from fluegas, since each ammonia molecule can absorb one molecule of CO2, whereas amine absorbers require two molecules to do the same job. However, because ammonia is volatile, the fluegas must…
SJV Hose Jet Filters remove dust from air flowrates from 10,000–500,000 m3/h and are suitable for use in the non-metallic industry, wood and plastic processing, blast-furnace operations, and other sectors of the chemical processing industries. These filter systems can also…
Security of SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) and other industrial control systems (ICSs) is a complex subject, and one that has received much attention in recent years. While modern industrial control systems use many of the same computers, operating…
Selecting air-pollution control equipment can be tricky. It’s not only difficult to determine which pollutants must be controlled, but also which type of equipment will best control them to required levels for any given process or facility because there is…
This flowrate totalizer has an explosion-proof enclosure Precision Digital The PD6830 ProtEX-RTP Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer has a rugged, explosion-proof, NEMA 4X enclosure and is designed for the quick and easy display of local or remote flow information in hazardous areas.…
