Effective control technologies are crucial for mitigating the adverse effects of air pollution. The selection of combustion-based or non-combustion-based technologies requires careful consideration of numerous factors Air-pollution control technologies are critical for reducing the negative impacts of industrial operations on…
At the outset, tackling emissions-reduction projects to achieve regulatory compliance can seem daunting, but by taking a proactive approach, leaks can be handled before they become a serious emissions issue To meet global emissions-reduction targets, chemical processing facilities are facing…
A recently developed optimization technique called the automated targeting model is demonstrated for its application on inventory management Supply chain management that involves raw material sourcing, product manufacturing and delivery has often been viewed as one of the critical factors…
Monitoring particle sizes in real time can improve product quality and reduce costs in chemical processes. Presented here is an overview of available technologies for particle-size analysis and an example involving suspension polymerization Effective measurement, in real time, of particle…
12F-TWW-0 pressure/vacuum relief valves (PVRV; photo) are designed to increase protection against damage to tank equipment caused by overpressure or excessive vacuum. These new devices are said to achieve superior sealing performance and industry-leading flowrates within a smaller valve footprint…
This company has recently added 4–20-mA signal capabilities to its Chem-Feed CD1 multi-diaphragm metering pump (photo) and its Flexflo A1 peristaltic metering pump. The 4–20 mA signal can be sent from the pump to a SCADA system where operators can…
The new DB series of side-channel blowers are suitable for rough industrial processes, such as drying, pneumatic conveying or suction processes, where high flowrates are required. In the blowers, vacuum is created by the kinetic energy of the rotating impeller.…
Discontinued series IDs associated with producer prices for storage tanks requires a modification to the CEPCI The Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) is a widely used tool for comparing plant construction costs in the chemical process industries (CPI) between…
This company has launched two new products in its Unique Mixproof valve product series. The Unique Mixproof CIP (photo) is a double-seat valve that safely and efficiently manages the flow of cleaning media during clean-in-place (CIP) processes. The Unique Mixproof…
