This company has launched a digital optimizer for the Editube wet electrostatic precipitator (WESP). The new WESP Optimizer improves the operation of the WESP unit by better adjusting it to changes in the overall process, and has important built-in functions…
SmartVane (photo) is rotary vane pump with a hermetically sealed pump housing. The pump serves as a backing pump for mass spectrometers (ICP-MS, LC/MS), for applications in environmental and food analytics, as well as in pharmaceutical and clinical analytics. This…
The MT100 Series multipoint mass flowmeter (photo) provides air-gas flow measurements to help optimize boiler performance and reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse-gas emissions. These devices feature compact thermal-dispersion flow-sensor technology. They accurately monitor and report the flowrate or the totalized…
Measuring temperature is required in nearly all chemical processes, but engineers often struggle with implementation. Here are suggestions to avoid common pitfalls Measuring temperature in chemical processing applications remains, arguably, the most misunderstood of the four main process variables, which…
Promass Q (photo) is a high-tech Coriolis flowmeter line that alleviates concerns of inaccuracies with its four-tube technology, while measuring with minimal pressure loss over a wide range of flowrates. A new addition to the Promass Q line is available…
A next-generation intelligent valve controller for any valve Introduced at Valve World Expo and Conference 2022 (November 29–December 1; Düsseldorf, Germany), the Neles NDX 2.0 (photo) is a next-generation intelligent valve controller offering more sustainable valve-control performance for all process…
Bauxite residue (red mud) is a byproduct from the smelting of aluminum. Like other waste slags from the metallurgy industry, bauxite residue is traditionally put into hazardous-waste landfills, although it contains a mixture of valuable raw materials in low concentrations.…
Digital transformation in the chemical process industries demands open architecture, enterprise-wide interoperability and a focus on sustainability. Progress discussed here is moving the industry in that direction Many companies in the chemical process industries (CPI) are currently pursuing digital transformations…
The NT3100sc and the NT3200sc ultraviolet (UV) nitrate and nitrite sensors (photo) are designed with enhanced accuracy and a lower limit of detection at 0.02 mg/L. Leveraging reagent-free UV absorbance technology, NT3 Series sensors are equipped to meet a wide…
While thermowells have become well-established, they have potential drawbacks that can affect their performance. The benefits of alternative non-invasive temperature sensing is presented here Temperature is one of the most important parameters for industrial processes, providing a key indicator of…
