Screw compressors are widely used throughout the chemical process industries (CPI) and represent a substantial percentage of all positive-displacement compressors that are now sold and in operation in CPI facilities. In general, screw compressors are efficient, reliable, simple and…
The ecosmart metering pump is now available with a PVC pump head. That means the ecosmart can even be used in applications that require good resistance against highly aggressive chemicals — including industrial water-treatment systems, for example, where sodium hypochloride…
This company’s new generation of check valves features a hydrodynamically optimized valve cone, which minimizes the pressure loss while increasing flow by 25% compared to the previous generation. It is practically impossible for the valve cone to jam anymore since…
DosaSkid is a “plug-and-play” metering device that can be used for a wide variety of applications, including desalination, boiler-water treatment, industrial water treatment, petroleum refining (additive injection), and clean-in-place tasks in the food-and-beverage industry. Two types of DosaSkid are available:…
Pumping fluids that contain abrasive particles, such as those found in inks and paints can have a detrimental effect on pump performance, with erosion being a key factor in reducing pump life. To meet these challenges, this company has introduced…
The Neles Finetrol rotary control valve can achieve certification approval for ISO 15848-1 class BH fugitive emissions in the most demanding endurance class CH-3 (100,000 mechanical cycles). The new design reduces health and safety risks, says the manufacturer, because leakage…
This all-metal, free-running, self-energizing reusable locknut is manufactured in stainless steel (303, A286 or 90) and 95% Ni stainless-steel alloy and is suitable for protecting and preserving bolts, studs and axle shafts where vibration, tensile strength, corrosion and elevated temperatures…
Rhodia (Paris, France; www.rhodia.com,) member of the Solvay Group, and Avantium (Amsterdam, the Netherlands; www.avantium.com) have entered into a partnership to jointly develop a range of new bio-based polyamides targeting a variety of applications. This partnership expands and completes the…
DuPont (Wilmington, Del.; www.dupont.com) and NexSteppe (Malibu, Calif.; www.nexsteppe.com) have entered into a collaboration to develop advanced feedstocks for biofuels and other bio-based products. The collaboration will focus on the development of new sweet sorghum and high-biomass sorghum hybrids that…
The Robolux multiport valve integrates two independently operated valves beneath a single membrane. This patented design saves volume and dead space, and therefore makes it possible to design more compact layouts, even for complex processes. Two shut-off valves within one…
