Building on downhole electric submersible-pump technology, the SPS (Surface Pumping System; photo, p. 32D-4) is a low-maintenance, cost-effective alternative to plunger (triplex, quintiplex), split-case centrifugal, high-speed centrifugal and canned vertical turbine pumps in a variety of industrial surface-fluid-movement applications. The…
Viscous reaction mixtures often require more powerful stirring than can be achieved with magnetic stirrers. The Vortex stirrer system (photo) converts a single overhead stirrer into a powerful three-position parallel stirrer combined with a multiple heating block. The combination of…
Touted as the first chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) pipe commercially available in large diameters, this firm’s line of rigid, extruded industrial-CPVC pipe now includes 18-, 20-, and 24-in. dia. sizes at ANSI Schedule 40 and 80 dimensions. Like the rest…
This firm has introduced its first stand-alone compressor anti-surge controller with a built-in color HMI (human machine interface) display. The Em-400 HMI displays a live compressor surge map for easy viewing of compressor performance. In addition to the live compressor…
Nelprof control valve selection software Version 5.0 facilitates selection of the best control valve package quickly and accurately. It is used prior to installation to predict the performance of the control valve package as a part of the system. Version…
The UniFirst 4040 mixer drive (photo) is designed to provide trouble-free operation while lowering maintenance costs. Routine maintenance is simplified with fewer parts, easy accessibility and standard components. Additional features include: rugged design withstands corrosive and caustic environments, high temperatures,…
This firm’s response to the increasing demand for high capacity globe-style control valves, especially as anti-surge valve on turbo compressors, is the Ecotrol Control Valve (photo) with size 24 in. (DN 600). With a standard body material of carbon and…
