From September 30 to October 4, the Water Environment Federation (Alexandria, Va.; www.wef.org), will host the Weftec 2017 Conference and Exhibition (www.weftec.org) at McCormick Place in Chicago, Ill. Focused on all aspects of water treatment and conservation, this year’s event…
Use these pump heads for extremely shear-sensitive fluids
The new Masterflex L/S Cytoflow pump head (photo) was developed specifically for pumping live cells and shear-sensitive fluids in biopharmaceutical and microbiology applications. The Cytoflow pump head has a large-diameter rotor, resulting in high flowrates at low motor speeds. The…
These gear pumps have built-in pressure control
Series UP6 electric gear pumps (photo) feature the option for built-in pressure control, whereby a factory-programmed pressure setting is maintained via a microprocessor-based variable pump-speed control circuit that utilizes an internal pressure sensor for loop feedback. UP6 pumps are self-priming…
Safety sensors designed for increased vibration resistance
This company’s Eden sensors (photo) now feature a solid-state, board-level design with radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology for increased resistance to vibration and greater security. RFID technology allows for large sensing distances and its vibration resistance decreases the risk of involuntary…
Automated alarm management reduces manual calculation work
The newest release of the PlantState Suite (PSS) software, version 8.3, includes the new Alarm Mechanic feature, which is designed to improve console operator performance by minimizing nuisance alarms through automated analytics and recommendations. With the addition of Alarm Mechanic,…
Focus on Analyzers and Monitoring Devices
Improved Raman spectrometer identifies materials The i-Raman Pro ST (photo) is a portable, high-throughput Raman spectrometer that uses the company’s patent-pending “See Through” technology, which enhances the Raman signature of the content. This added functionality allows for the identification of…
Vacuum conveyors built for explosive applications
The risk of explosion due to dust is a major operational concern in many industry sectors. To address this, the E-Line vacuum conveyor (photo) is designed to be fitted with either an explosion-venting or explosion-suppression system, based on application requirements.…
Connect digital signals to the fieldbus with this device
Thanks to the FieldConnex Multi-Input Output (MIO; photo), it is now possible to connect digital signals from several varied functions to the fieldbus via a single address. The FieldConnex MIO allows discrete signals with four different functions to be integrated…
Control filter pressure in limited space with this gage
With a nominal size of 63 mm and an insertion depth of 32 mm, the A2G-mini differential-pressure gage (photo) has been developed with a view to the E.U. directive for energy-efficient ventilation and air-conditioning systems. Beginning January 1st, 2018, all…
Reducing emissions from low-pressure storage tanks
The Enardo ES-665 spring-loaded thief hatch for use on low-pressure storage tanks (photo) is engineered with increased sealing forces, as well as with a tight and consistent fit of the sealing surfaces, resulting in emissions-reduction performance of 0.10 std. ft3…
