In June, the newly developed, dust-tight OEB version of the DDSR20 2.0 twin-screw feeder (photo) passed the highest occupational exposure bands (OEB) classification certification, OEB5. OEB classifications are used to grade substances accurately into “classes” or “ranges” based on the…
At Powtech last month, this company presented completely new, more wear-resistant screen cloths that, compared to previous standard cloths, achieve an increased service life with abrasive bulk materials. Matched to the wire thickness and mesh size, the screen cloths are…
This C Series heat exchanger (photo) replaced an older shell-and-tube design that had high operating costs, due to a 2.4 psi pressure drop. While both old and new units have the same capabilities, the new C Series pressure drop is…
In crossflow membrane filtration (CMF), feed flow is parallel to the filtration surface (rather than perpendicular to it, as in conventional filtration). During a given pass, a portion of the feed permeates the membrane, while a larger portion is retained…
Concise tips on selecting the right valve A typical chemical plant contains miles of piping and hundreds, if not thousands, of industrial valves (Figure 1) that are essential for the plant to operate efficiently and safely. Unlike the simple consumer…
