The hydraulic Lift & Seal System (photo) docks drums to a gasketed pour cone for dust-tight and contaminant-free product discharge. The pour cone features 316-2b stainless-steel construction and a pneumatic turbine vibrator for enhanced product flow. The system’s portable design…
This company's line of platinum-clad anodes (photo) are metallurgically bonded and are said to be more durable and longer lasting than MMO (mixed metal oxide) counterparts. The anodes are metallurgically bonded platinum to niobium or titanium, with or without a…
Simulations demonstrate the complex, changing properties of materials within the evaporator. Such information can help in both designing and selecting the proper evaporator A wiped film or agitated thin-film evaporator is very effective with difficult-to-handle materials. The evaporator consists essentially…
Dust management can be divided into three main categories: prevention, containment and suppression. Understanding the key considerations for each can help bulk solids handlers arrive at an optimal dust control solution Dust management is an ongoing issue faced by virtually…
The ability to reduce fugitive emissions through the use of strategic design modifications not only protects workers and the environment, but reduces losses of valuable process materials The industrialized nations of the world have all placed increased emphasis on the…
The Neles BWX high-performance butterfly valve (photo) has now gained ground in meeting the challenging requirements of various process industries, including applications in air separation units, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and turbines. In addition, BWX valves have been delivered to…
