Some people see the glass as half full, some as half empty. Neither approach is inherently bad, it’s just two different ways of looking at things. If a pipe is only 50 percent full, however, and you want to measure flowrate, the problem is more than just one of terminology. As one US utility company found, few instruments can accurately measure flow in a part-full pipe.

A large number of physical measuring methods are used today for continuous level measurement of the most diverse product media in the area of liquids and bulk solids. It is understandable that both plant planning and operating staff would like to have one single method as this would indeed reduce the training requirements and commissioning errors as well as lead to cost savings (e.g. for replacement devices). However, every measuring principle has its strengths and weaknesses.

The company will be supplying its proprietary LNG technology, equipment, and related process license to Golden Pass Products for the Golden Pass LNG Export Project. The firm’s LNG technology is expected to be integral in producing around 16 million tonnes per year of liquefied natural gas.

BASF published an update on the the fire at the North Harbor in Ludwigshafen. Two employees of the company's fire department and an employee of a tanker which was anchored in the harbor died in the accident.

How much is actually in there? Level sensors allow you to peek inside closed silos and containers– To learn more about the latest trends and developments, we paid a visit to Magnetrol, a Belgium-based supplier of level controls. For radar can detect airplanes and speeding drivers, but it can do a lot more than that.

High-performance version of Rosemount 3308 GWR Wireless Level Transmitter delivers enhanced accuracy that can be verified without opening the thief hatch, thereby increasing safety.

Process measuring sensors are important tools for process optimization, process monitoring and quality control and must meet many requirements. Measuring accuracy, low maintenance and calibration requirements and robust design, but also easy integration into the plant are important factors to take into account.

The gigantic complex is expected to supply 75,000 metric tonnes per day to Saudi Aramco's refinery and Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle currently being built in Jazan. Under a joint venture in April 2015, Air Products was awarded the project to build, own and operate the world's largest industrial gas complex.

Handling demanding media just got easier: A new pump technology expands the range of applications — A technology that till now was only available for the continuous operation with expensive process pumps makes its debut on the mass market: A new double hose-diaphragm pump provides in-built compressor and bypass flow control for pressure ranges up to 16 bar.

They are green, they grow fast, they are powerful — microalgae are, so to say, small versions of the incredible Hulk. And they have their superhero story, too. Follow us on a trip to a biobased micro-world …
