With the new 9950-10/11 transmitter (photo), this company has added a six-channel option to its 9950 product family. Additional features, such as derived functions and Boolean logic, provide expanded control options that may reduce the need for programmable logic controllers…
P-XYLENE FROM CO2 Last month, a Japanese consortium announced the successful production and purification of p-xylene produced from CO2 at pilot scale. The University of Toyama (www.u-toyama.ac.jp), Chiyoda Corp. (www.chiyodacorp.com) and HighChem Co., Ltd. (www.highchem.co.jp) have been collaborating on producing…
RuptureSeal leak-stopping devices (photo) can be easily deployed to form a secure mechanical seal that stops leaks for up to 10 h. This technology is fully functional in just 20 s and is said to be faster and cleaner than…
The ability to quantify liquid motion in a stirred tank is a basic step toward understanding how mixing influences process results. Quantifying mixing according to a mixing index (MI) can evaluate and predict mixing intensity related to fluid velocities in…
As industry seeks to meet their net-zero commitments, captured CO2 must often be transported hundreds of miles to and from carbon-capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) hubs. The new CO2 Transportation Cloud application (app; photo) enables users to make data-driven decisions…
The new ThinkTop V20 (photo) is the next generation of hygienic valve-indication units. With automation, digitalization and real-time communication, the ThinkTop V20 raises the bar on process control, making it more reliable and accurate, while saving time and money on…
With its all-in-one design, the DPS+ pressure sensor (photo) can act as a differential pressure switch (DPS), differential pressure transducer, pressure transducer, filter wash controller, data logger and more. The product boasts a compact size, making it suitable for monitoring…
The Polaris line of inline process refractometers (photo) can be used for a broad range of industrial liquid-measurement applications. Used for inline liquid-concentration measurements, this process refractometer family is said to be the first fully in-house developed refractometer series that…
Manufacturing complexes may benefit from using more electricity instead of steam and fuel gas for their energy needs. Improved energy efficiency, lower emissions, higher reliability and debottlenecking of utility systems may be achieved Electrification is a popular buzzword when energy…
Robert Fulton, Eli Whitney, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford — these are some of the larger-than-life figures who spring to mind when reflecting on the history of innovation and invention in the U.S. But the first person in American history to…
