A team led by Rice University (Houston; www.rice.edu) researcher Michael Deem has assembled a database of 2.6 million possible unique zeolites — porous silicate minerals often used as catalysts or molecular sieves. The database of potential structures could inform efforts…
Reciprocating pumps are often used in the chemical process industries (CPI) because of their ability to generate high pressures at low velocities. A subcategory of positive-displacement pumps, reciprocating pumps act through the recipricating motion of a piston, plunger or diaphragm.…
Last March, KSB AG (Frankenthal, Germany; www.ksb.com), received a pump order in the double-digit, million-euro range. The pump units are intended for one of the biggest seawater-cooling plants in the world, which is situated in the industrial city of Ras…
The Thermiculite family of products for seals and gaskets offers a cost-effective alternative to industrial seals where resistance to high heat is critical. Thermiculite critical service materials are rated for temperatures up to 1,800F and meet the requirements of the…
With the new Duo-SAS-360 Isolator, it is now possible to monitor the critical microbiological quality of air in cleanrooms and isolators. Two stainless-steel aspirating heads, with a long connecting cable, can be positioned in different locations and controlled from outside…
The Pre-engineered Subsystems are a series of five, standardized subsystems for use in all types of plants and facilities where fluids are processed. Each subsystem features integrated design of key safety and efficiency measures. The first products include the following…
A PTFE diaphragm permits compact construction of this diaphragm pump, and offers cost savings for high-pressure applications. A patented pressure-supported diaphragm-fixation system is used, so that the fixation is structurally prevented from expanding during the pressure stroke. No auxiliary seal…
This new air-atomizing nozzle enables the effective spraying of viscous fluids at very fine atomization but at low flowrates. The XA ER nozzle provides a full cone spray pattern for liquids with viscosity of 100 cP or more. The nozzle…
Available from this company, the Dickow magnetically coupled centrifugal pumps include the KM series, which handles capacities as high as 65 m3/h at heads up to 65 m. All KM Series pumps are magnetically coupled, so they are leak-free. Available…
The Type 3738 electronic valve position monitor is a contactless, magneto-resistive sensor system that works with a Namur signal in compliance with IEC 60947-5-6 and is powered by a two-wire supply. As a result, the positioner can replace existing solenoid…
