The newest size in this company’s line of conical tanks is a 560-gal model, molded of polyethylene. The components are molded into place, as well, including fittings, flats on the tank roof, forklift access for easy tank placement, and four anchor points on the bottom, for better stability. Available in sizes from 300 to 8,000 gal, the tank features uniform wall thickness and boasts excellent corrosion resistance.
This service, which uses state-of-the-art laboratory apparatus from various manufacturers, complies with both European and North American standards for dust explosion hazard testing. A computerized dual-laser particle-size analyzer details full particle-size-distribution information, improving on the basic Taylor Sieve size-analysis technique. Samples may be tested as-received or processed to comply with the ASTM-standard recommended size of smaller than 75 µm.
The high-capacity MV Multi-Trap vacuum pump inlet-traps guard pumps against corrosive vapors and binder materials that are present during extrusion processes. These byproducts can condense and accumulate, resulting in pump failure and the need for more-frequent maintenance. The traps are available in 10-in., 12-in., and 16-in.-dia. models and can handle vacuum pump capacities up to 2,000 ft3/min. They come with activated alumina or charcoal filter elements for vapors and specialized elements.
The B-Series valve is designed for use with steam, water, gases and other liquids at maximum temperatures and pressures of 204°C (400°F) and 27 barg (400 psig). In the two-way configuration, the plug-stem may be replaced without removal of the valve or actuator. The three-way valve is ideal for applications that either combine two fluids or divert a single fluid for temperature control.
The ergonomically designed Reach-In CO2 incubator provides the ideal environment for small-to-large-scale, high-volume cell culture. This 30-ft2 chamber provides precise control of temperature, relative humidity, and CO2, and offers the latest technology in sensors, including infrared (IR) CO2. Control and uniformity parameters are said to rival any conventional benchtop incubator, providing maximum culturing space in a minimal footprint.
FlexAct workstations simplify the conversion from stainless steel equipment or individual disposable components to integrated single-use systems, enabling biomanufacturers to use integrated disposable equipment for entire biomanufacturing steps in upstream and downstream processing. FlexAct BP is designed for the preparation of buffers that are essential for stabilizing target molecules and providing optimal production conditions.
Envirosight has tripled the size of its Randolph, NJ, headquarters, with amenities that include a 25-seat classroom where end users and regional sales partners receive regular training on pipe inspection technologies and methods. Its new lab broadens the company’s onsite research and testing capabilities and will quicken time-to-market processes for new products. Its technical service center has room for up to 12 technicians and provides enhanced capabilities for maintenance, repair and new product prototyping, as well as technical training for end users and sales partners.
The Fluke Challenge is an interactive video game set in an imaginary industrial workplace that makes it fun to learn how thermal imaging technology helps solve maintenance problems. The game takes place in gritty industrial equipment rooms with a supervisor nearby who checks the user’s progress. As would happen in real life, the player scans the rooms and detects problems using the thermal imager, which also captures and saves images. Possible problems to report to the boss include: an overloaded transformer, overheated fuses, stuck valves, etc.
Designed for pumps and mixers, the PSS III is a single OD pressurized split seal that is suitable for use in paper mills, wastewater treatment facilities, soda ash processing and light chemical plants. Easy to install and maintain, the seal handles vacuum to 300 psig in normal operating conditions and successfully operates after experiencing excursions up to 450 psig. The allowable temperature range of the PSS III is 0–250°F, but custom designs may expand these limits of operations.
Capable of operating in harsh process conditions, Tex-Grid grid packing promotes high heat-transfer efficiency, while maintaining structural integrity and fouling resistance. Ideally applied to the refining, chemical process and steel production industries, Tex-Grid is easier to clean and return to service than random or corrugated packings. Its rugged welded-construction enables performance in dirty, high-temperature applications in refinery atmospheric and vacuum crude towers, fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) fractionators, coker units and ethylene quench columns.
