This company has released two new level-control panels — the LC 231 (photo) and LC 241. These controllers make setup and integration of one or two pump controls easier, with predefined settings and an intuitive dashboard on a Bluetooth-connected application…
This company has added PillAerator turbo blowers (photo) to its line of rotary-lobe and rotary-screw blowers. This action significantly expands offerings for the water and wastewater market and other large-flow, low-pressure applications, including bioreactors and fluegas desulfurization. Available with flowrates…
The Subfreezing Dryer (photo) provides a –4ºF pressure dewpoint at 70% lower energy costs and 40% smaller footprint than that of traditional desiccant dryers, says the manufacturer. The Subfreezing Dryer is compatible with oil-flooded rotary compressors, oil-free rotary compressors, centrifugal…
Phenom ParticleX (photo) is a desktop scanning electron microscope (SEM) that is designed to provide additive manufacturing (3D printing) companies faster quality-control analyses of materials used in development and production. The Phenom ParticleX includes a broad range of automated SEM…
The Forge Cybersecurity Platform (photo) improves cybersecurity performance at a single site or across an enterprise by increasing visibility of vulnerabilities and threats, mitigating risks and improving management efficiency. The new platform safely moves data from one site to another…
The model HD-3.5-9-SS ribbon blender features an integral bag-dump station that collects dust generated during manual dumping activities, improving worker safety and plant hygiene. Dust is drawn onto the cartridge filters of the dust collector, as nozzles within each filter…
The Orbit 60 Series (photo) is a next-generation condition-monitoring and protection platform that collects and processes data to evaluate machine health. It is said to be the first intrinsically cyber-secure machinery-monitoring platform with a built-in data diode, which enables secure…
This article provides an overview of how computational fluid dynamics (CFD) works, and what benefits it can bring to the chemical process industries Sustainability, waste reduction, energy efficiency and increased demand for engineered material are driving process engineers to continuously…
Portable laptop computers and smartphones can be used to emulate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling results using this interpolation procedure Most engineers are familiar with computational-fluid-dynamics (CFD) models and their power (for an overview of CFD, see Part 1). At…
This practical overview of ASTM standards can serve as a roadmap when selecting and evaluating heat transfer fluids Heat-transfer-fluid systems are often used for process heating to 500°F or higher. To accomplish heating above 500°F, steam pressure must be above…
