This company is launching the first standardized electrolyzer suitable for mass production. The EL 4.0 (photo) is a fourth-generation anion-exchange-membrane (AEM) electrolyzer the company has been developed since 2017. The new version is smaller, lighter and ISO 22734 certifiable. The…
The Titan (photo) is a specific fixed gas detector, based on photoionization detection (PID), designed only for the monitoring of benzene. This makes it the perfect choice for use in asphalt manufacturing plants, where benzene is likely to be the…
Drain valves comprise up to 20% of all valves in a typical processing plant. But cleaning them is costly, difficult and time-consuming due to long cleaning cycles and the risk of pressure shocks. The new ThinkTop pulse seat clean (photo)…
Launched last month, the energy- and water-efficient AC (activated carbon) filter responds to the market’s increasing demand for advanced and sustainable battery-metals processing technologies. The modular AC filtration technology (photo) is designed for smaller side streams of copper and other…
The Aseptomag LV leakage valve is a mixproof double-seat valve is designed for manufacturers of foods and beverages, as well as pharmaceutical products. Typical examples are products with an extended shelf life (ESL), such as soft drinks, fruit juices and…
REconnect (photo) is a new a coupling device for simple and safe decoupling and recoupling of diaphragm seal systems, including process connections and measuring devices. REconnect consists of two parts — one fitted to the measuring device, the other to…
The Pearlo 350 EAC underwater pelletizing system (photo) has a liquid-heated die plate for high capacities, delivering throughputs of 18,000 kg/h of virgin polymer. The unique cutting-blade design and optimum water- and material-flow conditions within the cutting chamber provide not…
Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber is a terpolymer elastomer derived from ethylene and propylene, along with small amounts of a non-conjugated diene as a third monomer (Figure 1). With a completely saturated polymer backbone, this random elastomeric copolymer exhibits…
Solids-handling processes and downstream process steps can benefit greatly from carefully controlled particle characteristics. Presented here is guidance on how agitation agglomeration techniques can achieve desired particle properties Throughout the diverse sectors of the chemical process industries (CPI), the ability…
Operational troubleshooting guidance is provided for several scenarios involving trapped non-condensable gases in distillation towers Non-condensable gases are often present in distillation towers, either expectedly or unexpectedly. When they do appear, or when the quantity of non-condensable gases varies from…
