The Model IOG industrial oval-gear flowmeter is part of a new line of inline and flanged oval-gear meters and industrial registers. These instruments are suitable for a variety of applications, including aqueous solutions, petroleum-based fluids, and other highly viscous fluids. The Model IOG meter has an accuracy of ±0.5% and operates at pressures up to 800 psi. It can be installed in tight spaces, either vertically or horizontally, and does not require a straight run of pipe or flow conditioning.

Pulsair Systems and Linde Gases have partnered to provide a more effective and efficient way to mix liquids. Pulsair’s pulsed-air technology releases compressed air or gas, supplied by Linde, from beneath flat round plates at the bottom of a tank or vessel to create circulation and effect mixing of the liquid(s). As the gas is forced out between the plates and the tank floor, the sudden burst shocks the liquid and sweeps away the heavier liquid(s) and solids.

Bulk-bag dischargers and unloaders often experience difficulties dispensing compacted or otherwise hard-to-move solids. This firm offers three types of pneumatically powered massage paddles to promote the flow of compacted, cohesive, or sticky materials from bulk bags. Side massagers can be moved vertically to achieve optimum position (which is usually along the bottom one-third of the bag). Base massagers are used to break up materials that have been compacted along the bottom of the bag.

Complementing its existing line of butyl- and ethylene propylene (EP)-based diaphragms, the Saunders XA diaphragm relies on a compound based on EP technology that provides increased erosion resistance in both corrosive and abrasive applications. The design provides longer flex life, with a 70% improvement in elastic recovery. This improves sealing performance and reduces emissions. It also reduces downtime and increases productivity, helping to reduce the cost of ownership.

These modular polyethylene tank stands are designed for use with a full-drain outlet (FDO) assembly. They can be installed on any suitable flat surface to elevate polyethylene tanks 12 in. above grade, accommodating a full-drain tank without the need to pour concrete. The chemical-resistant stands are suitable for virtually all corrosive environments, and in tests have been shown to resist over 300,000 lb of crush force. Features include corrugated sidewalls for maximum support, interlocking dovetail joints to secure modular sections together, and optional wind load anchoring points.

The Spectronic 200, a new visible spectrophotometer, incorporates the latest optical and detector technologies to meet the needs of academic and industrial quality-control laboratories. This cost-effective instrument is simple to set up and use, requires little maintenance, has no moving parts, and has a small footprint. It delivers fast, full-wavelength scan data and multi-standard quantitative analysis. For users of the company’s predecessor Spectronic 20 and Genesys 20 spectro-photometers, the onboard software platform and simple user interface make upgrading easy.

The GeneDisc rapid microbiology system enables accelerated microbiological analysis for pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications. The simple-to-use, robust platform — which is based on established quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology — provides a significant time savings over traditional incubation sampling methods. This can allow materials and final products to be released more quickly, improving production efficiency and reducing inventories.

The new Highsolv P99 and Highsolv E99 solvents for organic synthesis are colorless, low-viscosity solvents with favorable toxicological properties. They are suitable for a range of pharmaceutical and fine-chemical applications, and can be used as a viable replacement for many common toxic and flammable solvents for organic syntheses, such as dichloro-methane, toluene, and others. Both have relatively high flash and boiling points, which ensures useful operating temperatures for a wide range of chemical sequences.

This family of direct-steam-injection water heaters (also referred to as direct-injection heaters) are used to rapidly and accurately heat water and water-based slurries by injecting steam directly into the fluid. They are used in a variety of industrial processing applications, including preheating of boiler feed-water, fibrous slurries (such as pulp stock and biomass), paper starch, and water used for sanitization and tank cleaning, as well as for anaerobic treatment of organic waste and a variety of other applications.

The modular PV360 axial piston pump, the latest addition to the PVplus axial piston pump family, is available for a range of heavy-duty mobile and industrial applications with operating pressures up to 5,000 psi (350 bar). This variable-displacement, 360-cm3/rev pump features a large servo piston for fast response. A patented ripple chamber technology reduces pressure and flow pulsation by 40–60% compared with similar pumps. As a result, fewer sine waves (which can loosen hydraulic connections and damage downstream components) are introduced into the system, and pump noise is reduced.
