The Diabon S15 plate heat exchanger provides efficient heat transfer in a corrosion-resistant environment, suitable for use with corrosive media up to 200°C. It is constructed from Diabon graphite material, which is a dense, synthetic resin-impregnated graphite with a fine pore structure. Combining high turbulence and countercurrent flow, the Diabon S15 maximizes heat recovery, yielding energy savings. Designed to reduce maintenance, the exchanger features accessible plates and a special plate pattern that reduces fouling. The S15 is larger than other heat exchanger types, with the potential to replace several shell-and-tube or block exchangers. — Alfa Laval, Lund, Sweden

The Rosemount 3308 Wireless Guided-Wave-Radar (GWR) transmitter is designed for continuous level and interface monitoring in remote locations where installing cable is costly or impractical. GWR transmitters are used for process level measurement in vessels and storage tanks in refineries, oil fields, offshore petroleum platforms, chemical and industrial plants. Top-mounted for direct level and interface measurement, the Rosemount 3308 is virtually unaffected by changing process conditions, such as density, conductivity, temperature and pressure. The transmitter has no moving parts, thus minimizing calibration and maintenance needs. Costs are further reduced when compared to wired transmitters since there is no need for cabling, trenching, conduit runs or cable trays. — Emerson Process Management, St. Louis, Mo.
