Omnilube food-grade (H1) compressor lubricants are said to provide better lubricity and protection against wear, and be less susceptible to oxidation, than other H1 food-grade synthetic lubricants. Omnilube 32/46, 68, and 455 are formulated from high-quality polyalphaolefin (PAO) base oils and a proprietary additive package to achieve long life. The three oils are designed for rotary-screw compressors and, depending on the screw design, can have a service life of up to 8,000 h. Omnilube 455 can be used in reciprocating compressors.

This mobile system for storing and dispensing lubricants, cutting oils, bearing oils, hydraulic fluids, transmission fluids, and engine oils is delivered on a pallet that can be placed in the bed of a heavy-duty pickup truck and transported to multiple locations spread over a large area. It includes two 50-gal and two 25-gal steel containers with PVC sight gages, filters to remove any dirt or small particulates, and air-operated piston pumps with a 5:1 pumping ratio.

The CyberKey Vault Single Electronic Key Cabinet requires an employee to present a radio-frequency identification (RFID) card to open the vault and retrieve the electronic key contained inside. Upon presentation of the required RFID card by authorized personnel, the vault programs the appropriate access permissions for that employee and releases the programmed key. The electronic key can be shared by any number of employees, from shift to shift, or management can issue one RFID card to each authorized employee.

SMS4 Release 3 is security-management software that uses pervasive real-time video to coordinate the responses of multiple agencies and operatives. The system automatically validates incoming data to verify critical events and escalates video to personnel in the appropriate locations who can manage the situation and ensure an appropriate response. The software filters out false alerts through qualification of incoming data. Prior intelligence can be embedded by specifying the combination and sequence of events that may constitute a situation.

These dopant permeation tubes can be used to detect trace concentrations of narcotics, explosives, chemical warfare agents (CWAs), and industrial airborne molecular contaminants (AMCs). The detection systems are based on ion mobility spectroscopy (IMS) and are suitable for such applications as plant security and atmospheric monitoring of manufacturing operations. The basic dopant tube is a small plastic cylinder with the pure dopant compound sealed inside.

The ADT Select View platform of managed video services can help large and small organizations to optimize the use of video surveillance with minimal infrastructure investment. Using the customer’s existing video-surveillance equipment, the company provides the infrastructure needed to supply a range of services — which can be used to increase intrusion monitoring, security, and access control; optimize guard resources; deter theft; safeguard critical infrastructure; support regulatory compliance; improve operational efficiencies; and reduce false alarms.

The BioFlex fluid-path assemblies are single-use tubing and filter/tubing units designed for secure fluid transfer in critical biopharmaceutical processing applications. They can be customized to meet the end-user’s requirements for tubing material, connections, and various other components to create a secure fluid path. They can also be used in conventional or hybrid facilities to connect single-use and stainless steel processing equipment.

Several new solutions now take the guesswork out of hose and manifold identification, which is crucial for safety, traceability, and regulatory compliance, as well as for identifying the capabilities and/or limitations of critical process hoses used in the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, biomedical, chemical, and food and beverage industries. Options range from quick visual identifiers such as color (for the tubing or the braid), to laser-etched components, to radio frequency identification (RFID) tags.

Vic-Press is a flame-free press-to-connect device that joins off-the-shelf ANSI Schedule 10S stainless steel pipe in a matter of seconds. It provides increased strength and durability, and eliminates the need to stock specialty pipe. With better flow characteristics than light-wall tubing, the joined pipe handles up to one and a half times the flow with 20+% less pressure drop, and it offers up to three times the end-load performance and twice the bend-load performance. Installation requires 70% fewer man-hours than welding, which significantly reduces rework and risk to personnel.

The Chemfluor Convoflex WCSR multipurpose chemical-transfer hose is designed to handle the bulk transfer of corrosive chemicals (such as acids) that may damage the stainless steel braid commonly used as a cover on transfer hoses. The design of the low-profile, helical convoluted inner core provides flexibility and prevents kinking, a common cause of downtime for such demanding applications. The hose is constructed with a chemical-resistant, high-purity Chemfluor polytetrafluoro-ethylene (PTFE) inner core and is reinforced with high-tensile-strength Type 304 stainless steel braids.
