Pump Up Profitability by Minimizing Rotating Equipment Downtime
FREE | April 4, 2023
REGISTERMechanical seals have been the dominant sealing technology for refineries and chemical plants for decades. But how much do you know about proper system design and how it eases maintenance? Since something as simple as strategically integrating bypass lines can help increase rotating equipment uptime, it is important to understand the basics of how seal support systems work so you can optimize their use in your facilities.
If you are tasked with keeping rotating equipment online and operating efficiently, and you are interested in learning more about mechanical seals and the systems that support their long-term operation, Swagelok’s upcoming free webinar is for you. Join us on April 4 at 11 a.m. ET as Matt Dixon, Application Commercialization Manager, discusses:
• The main functions of a mechanical seal support system
• How these systems help eliminate potential leak points and increase safety while lessening time spent auditing connections and making repairs
• Optimal system designs according to API 682, and how to select them

Wet Surface Air Coolers For Cryogenic Systems
FREE | November 16, 2022
REGISTERBy condensing at lower temperatures, the Wet Surface Air Cooler allows for increased condensing capacity when compared to dry coolers. When comparing to traditional evaporative cooling techniques, such as cooling towers and heat exchangers, the wet surface air cooler can save water as well. Traditional clean water sources are not required so alternative makeup streams allow even further savings.
Applications such as LNG, cryogenic distillation/separation and other industrial refrigeration processes can reduce operating costs and carbon footprint through the use of direct latent heat rejection via Wet Surface Air Cooling. The evaporative condensing process reduces the amount of air required for cooling and thus lowers motor power consumption as well.
Accelerating Digitization in Chemical Manufacturing with MQTT
FREE | November 15, 2022
REGISTERIIoT makes it possible to automate chemical manufacturing operations, provide traceability of data for quality control and enable digitized regulatory reporting. The first step towards successfully implementing IIoT in chemical manufacturing is establishing connections to manufacturing machines, processes, databases, and supply chains and making the data available to the enterprise data center in a secure, scalable and reliable manner.However, data connectivity and availability are a big challenge.
Reducing the Commercial Risk of Hydrogen Projects Leveraging a Digital Twin

Process Analytics 4.0: A Turnkey Solution for Moisture Analysis
FREE | October 26, 2022
REGISTERMany industrial processes occur in difficult-to-access reactors, which are at times, under extreme pressures and/or temperatures. They may also use aggressive chemicals that may be acutely toxic and carcinogenic. At the same time, monitoring the moisture content of these substances is critical to ensure efficient drying, to produce a high-quality starting material and reduce overall operating costs. In practice, samples of the chemicals have to be taken from the process into the lab to be analyzed for moisture by coulometric Karl Fischer titration (KFT), but doing this can be unsafe and restrictive.
Join us during Part 3 of this four-part webinar series as Elena Hagemann and Andrew Tatsch demonstrate a new Process Analytics 4.0 enabling system. Using automation, the sample analysis of the primary method (KFT) is combined with Near-Infrared (NIR) spectral collection in real-time, resulting in a more accurate model with lower detection limits. Using this combined method, moisture measurements can be calibrated down to approximately 5 mg/L and delivered as a turnkey solution for installation in pipelines and reactors.
Catch up with our experts during the live Q&A forum at the end of this presentation and get your questions answered.
