This company has launched an enhanced version of its Ninva TSP341-N non-invasive temperature sensor (photo), which is said to be the first SIL2-certified non-invasive temperature transmitter. Using the surface temperature of the piping to infer the process temperature, Ninva provides…
Understanding material characteristics is important in designing and defining process criteria for optimal performance of rotary and fluidized-bed dryers The ability to efficiently, reliably and consistently dry bulk solids in an industrial setting relies largely on tailoring the dryer’s design…
The Vortab Insertion Panel (VIP) flow conditioner (photo) features a unique design that maximizes flowmeter performance with minimal pressure drop in a simple-to-install, lightweight thin-panel design that overcomes turbulent pipe-flow profiles. The Model VIP blends the proven performance and low…
The costs associated with installing and maintaining pressure-relief valves (PRVs) can often be reduced by equipping systems with upstream rupture discs Reclosing pressure-relief devices, commonly referred to as pressure relief valves (PRVs), are designed to allow for the release of…
At Achema in June, GIG Karasek GmbH (Gloggnitz, Austria; www.gigkarasek.com) introduced the ECO2Cell, an electrochemical CO2-recycling technology that utilizes proprietary catalysts to convert captured carbon dioxide into a range of chemicals. Using only water, CO2 and electricity as process inputs,…
The NEMO MY magnetically coupled pump (photo) is the latest upgrade of the NEMO progressing-cavity pumps. It was developed for more efficient and safer handling of media with high viscosities (up to 20,000 cP), such as slurries. However, using the…
Ethernet-APL fulfills the promise to bring digitalization to every corner of a process plant. The fast and efficient communication of large amounts of data is barrier-free and reliable in potentially explosive areas. At 10 Mbit/s, the transmission of enormous amounts…
The Beer Foam Separator (BFS 900; photo) is built to be used in combination with this company’s GHS VSD+ screw vacuum pump. The BFS 900 was designed and developed in partnership with leading breweries and in direct response to the…
The new SumoFlo CELE-8103-D integral display transmitter (photo) features a 144 mm x 144 mm, four-line display that can simultaneously show flowrate, totalized flow, temperature and product density. Available in both panel-mounted and tabletop configurations, the new transmitter is designed…
