Filter media made from Haver Porostar make possible a migration-free filtration in the range from <1micron to 200microns.

Radar sensors are often used for level measurement under extreme process conditions, such as temperatures above 150°C and pressures over 10bar. The construction of the sensors is therefore mechanically elaborate and expensive.

Bitumen is always quite a challenge to process. It is viscous, abrasive, highly flammable, and must be maintained at constant high temperatures.

Plant managers are constantly searching for opportunities for increased output, reduced emissions, lower costs and adequate protection for personnel and equipment.

Stainless steel metal hoses provide a particularly efficient method of flexible heat tracing for pipelines, vessels and valves in industry.

At present, the little is known about the condition of the continental shelves’ transport arteries – the pipelines that carry oil and gas across the seabed.

As the process industries face increasing challenges, Terry Ingham makes the case for competencies in the workplace.

Illinois, western Indiana and western Kentucky alone are responsible for more that 255milliontonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from stationary sources in the USA every year. Such sources include electric power plants, refineries, cement plants, and other industrial facilities.

There are numerous situations in which process engineers need to measure moisture in high-pressure gases.

For decades, R&D teams have done their best to improve relays. So, you would think that the humble relay had now reached perfection, right? Wrong. In pursuance of extreme reliability and the best performance in the smallest housing, development continues at pace. Tetsuya Fujiwara reports.

The process sector has been quick to respond to the ISA’s call for proposals to be considered by its Wireless Systems for Automation standards committee. However, the committee is hoping for yet more replies to ensure that any draft standard meets the needs of all end users.

The ongoing drive for global fieldbus standards has received a huge boost with the announcement of a tie up between two of the world’s leading suppliers.

Delft University of Technology researchers have discovered a method that within few years could drastically change the way water is purified.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation is a powerful tool for modelling three-dimensional flow from first principles.

The secrets of climate change may soon be revealed to a British professor and his research team.

The new Humiport 05, from E+E Elektronik, provides mobile precise measurement of relative humidity and temperature in the ranges of 5–95percent RH and -20–50°C (-4–122°F).

A maintenance-free turbidity monitor is still the dream of many water treatment operators. Using non-contact measurement in a free-falling water jet and an automatic adjustment to recalibrate is getting very close to this demand.

When Fixturlaser AB set out two years ago to develop a new laser-based alignment platform, the key objective was to reduce in any way possible the time consumed for performing a precision alignment. The Fixturlaser XA is the result.

Designers and users of hydraulic and lubrication systems have proven that over 85 per cent of system failures are caused by contamination

EOS is introducing Stainlesssteel 17-4, a new powder for use in its Eosint M 270 direct metal laser sintering machines for rapid manufacturing
