DriBoss evaporation equipment is designed for mining, water-treatment and oil-and-gas applications. The efficient DriBoss wastewater evaporator is supported by company-provided services, as well as by ancillary components such as pumps, valves, controls and sensors, which are also supplied by this…
Improved understanding of crystallizer equipment and operation can aid purification efforts in the CPI Crystallization is a key purification technique for various sectors of the chemical process industries (CPI). Several approaches for industrial crystallization have evolved over time, and highly…
This new line of “top-loading” compressed air filters are designed to make element change-out faster and easier — even in the most space-challenged environments. The drain connections do not need to be disrupted during the change-out process. The proprietary, patented…
Engineers working in the chemical process industries (CPI) sometimes have to deal with aerosol contamination issues in which liquid-gas coalescers are routinely employed. For example, liquid-gas coalescers are used to protect compressors, liquid-gas contactors, turbines, low-NOx burners, metering and instrumentation…
Distillation columns are often workhorses in the chemical process industries (CPI), and at times, it is necessary to physically inspect the interior of a column. This article demonstrates what an inspection can reveal, by sharing the experience of actual fractionation-tower…
So I called my son, Steve, and I asked him, “Which course sounds better to you, ‘Dealing with Difficult People’ or ‘Unacceptable Employee Behavior’?” Steve is a human resources specialist at a 2,000-employee company. He is not a member of…
When it comes to distillation trays and packing, chemical processors require the same criteria they seek from all equipment in this tight economy — technology that will reduce energy use and boost throughput without costly facility expansion. In an effort…
The Model 501 programmable fluidized bed (FB) dryer is a convenient laboratory-scale unit for rapid moisture reduction or removal at relatively low temperatures. Multiple configurations and microprocessor control ensure flexibility over a wide range of applications. The dryer delivers a…
Raise your hand if you ever regretted going with the low cost bidder. Keep your hand raised if the low cost bidder ever yielded you the highest cost result. If your officemate is staring at you quizzically, pretend to be…
The 7710 Series filters are designed to deliver high value for filtration applications using lower-pressure liquid and gas. The filters have porous metal elements and 316 stainless-steel housing. A range of seals are available to support applications requiring higher temperature…
