Demanding die-cast components, such as structural components in the automotive sector (megacastings), place special requirements on the temperature control, in particular on the cooling of so-called hotspots. The jetPulse system (photo) offers a reliable and economical solution for cooling such…
The EDX-7200 energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (photo) is equipped with a high-resolution silicon drift detector (SDD) to achieve a higher count rate and detection efficiency than its predecessor models. Along with the SDD, the EDX-7200 incorporates a high-speed circuit that…
The new HazardWatch FX-12 fire and gas system (photo) is designed to help process and plant engineers reduce hazard vulnerability while meeting demanding safety standards in hazardous industries, including oil-and-gas production, tanker loading and unloading, petrochemical refining and storage, pipelines…
The extensive range of Finnish Thompson FTI air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps has recently been expanded with the addition of a new 0.25-in. non-metallic model, the FT025 (photo), available in polypropylene, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and conductive polypropylene for use in…
BusWorks NT series remote I/O modules (photo) are now enhanced with conditional logic. The conditional logic increases the functionality with a system of rules that allows extremely complicated decisions based on relatively simple “yes/no” questions. For example, reading an analog…
Instead of traditional neoprene rope gasketing, new Foam-in-Place gaskets have been added to all product sizes in the Heartland series of polycarbonate and non-metallic electrical and industrial enclosures (photo). These gaskets provide full secure contact to the mating cover surface…
The FS10i flowmeter series (photo) is designed to measure the flowrate of natural gas. The FS10i meter is accurate to±1.5% of reading,±0.5% of full scale, with repeatability of±0.5% of reading and has a response time of 4 s. Designed with…
Injecting gases through a diffuser into a liquid is an important aspect of many operations in the chemical process industries (CPI). Important applications include dissolving reactant gases into a liquid phase for further reaction (such as in hydrogenation, oxidation, ozonation),…
Henry Kister shares lessons learned from troubleshooting distillation towers Following a distillation conference hosted by a simulation vendor, the delegates were transported by bus to a venue where the simulation vendor hosted a delicious barbecue. A gentleman sitting next to…
To meet bold sustainability targets, new burner technologies and control configurations are being developed to help significantly reduce NOx emissions Many industry-leading businesses have set bold sustainability goals for emissions reduction and energy efficiency driven by factors such as climate…
