Vacuum Technology In The Chemical Industry

For many economic sectors, the chemical industry is an indispensable supplier of raw materials. The automotive industry, mechanical engineering, plastics, foodstuff, glass, or building materials industries, for example, are all reliant on substances that are produced by the chemical industry. Plastics or synthetic resins, which are used as the basis for coatings or foams, play by far the most important role. These are employed in a countless number of end products that we use daily. Vacuum technology is crucial for a large part of these applications in the chemical industry.

More Than One Valve Or Pump Choice For Every Application

With hundreds of different types of valves in the industry today and thousands of manufacturers globally how do you know which is the best product for your process? Chances are that there may be several good alternatives that could serve you well with a high mean time between failure (MTBF). But the solution is not always 100 per cent clear. The reason there is not a one size fits all. Solution is that every process has variables. The variables can be numerous and certain types of valves will perform better in one set of variables than another. It is often not as simple as just the pressure, temperature and the medium.

Failure Of Double Wall Jacketed Piping In Refineries: Causes And Prevention

The application of double wall jacketed pipeline in sulfur recovery units of refinery plays a major role in productivity of sulfur. The sulfur content in crude oil may contain 0.22 wt% as obtained by detailed assay report. This sulfur has been extracted from various hydrocarbon processing units as sour water. Further the sour water processed in sulfur recovery unit to produce sulfur in solid powder form. The molten sulfur condenses via sulfur condensers to produce solid sulfur. The molten sulfur transferred to double wall jacketed pipeline and its failure case study is discussed. An improper design results in internal and external corrosion of internal core pipe deteriorate the pipe within five years. Root cause is analyzed and possible ways to mitigate similar failures is suggested.

Watson-Marlow provides Dynamic Dosing Operations and Maintenance Savings to Tissue Manufacturer

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group’s extensive range of peristaltic hose pumps are being installed by a well-known European manufacturer of toilet & paper toilets in its production processes. The pumps, which comprise several APEX and Qdos models, are at present performing vital dosing operations, archetypally on a 24 hour basis. Both the stoutness and compact maintenance necessities of Watson-Marlow pumps have proved striking, while their innate precision has also helped the company to condense its chemical consumption considerably. The case study looks at the successful trials of APEX & Qdos models & explores its distinctive features.

Der Antrieb is in control

There must be appropriate interfaces for the vertical integration of sensors and actuators into control, management, and production planning systems, and high-quality data transmission must be ensured. NORD frequency inverters therefore monitor and transmit drive data and also collect information from externally connected digital and analog sensors and actuators.

Process Monitoring Solutions For Boiler-Feed And Cooling Water Streams In Power Plants

Nearly 50 per cent of unplanned downtime in power plants is caused due to contaminants or problems in the chemistry of the water-steam circuit, with corrosion being the primary factor. Every cooling circuit has a unique design and thus its own unique challenges. The specifics of the water che-mistry to be regulated (and therefore the applicable limits) depend on the type of power plant, the cooling circuit design, and construction materials. Timely and effective monitoring of power plant water chemistry is critical for maintaining efficiency and safety. By using online analyzers, operators gain the information they need to accurately identify trends and address operational issues before costly problems arise. In this review, we highlight the importance of such real-time analyzers in boiler-feed and cooling water streams to optimize safety and plant efficiency.
