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…
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…
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…
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…
Accurately and efficiently weighing raw materials and reagents is a key part of many chemical processes, research projects and laboratory analysis. Poor weighing accuracy can contribute to lost revenue, increased labor costs and lower product quality. Calibration of weighing instruments…
The MechaTron dry material feeder (photo) has all the unique design features that manufacturers require for their processing applications. Complete disassembly from the non-process side of the feeder eliminates the need to remove upper extension hoppers, bins, bulk bags and…
The CSD series of screw compressors (photo) has been redesigned to improve efficiency over a wider range of flows and pressures. With five models ranging from 60 to 125 hp, new airend designs and IE4 Super Premium Efficiency motors provide…
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.…
