Transfer pumps form a key part of any chemical plant. These pumps must operate reliably, often around the clock and handling a variety of corrosive or otherwise difficult materials. This article explains how to plan and carry out routine maintenance of centrifugal chemical pumps so as to avoid pump downtime and consequent lost production.

An extremely broad range of process applications requires field devices with a high degree of flexibility. Likewise, the issues of standardization and simple stock management are becoming increasingly important. And the devices must meet the normal everyday requirements: easy to operate and capable of being used universally, while requiring minimal time and cost for maintenance. So how does this apply to automated valves?

German particle analysis solutions provider Pamas prepares for its 20th anniversary: On June 1st, the company looks back on 20 years of development and manufacturing of liquid particle counters at currently nine company locations worldwide, Pamas explains.

The recipe is simple and efficient: Take a dry compressing screw vacuum pump and a roots pump, combine both of the proven technologies along with pressure measurement, filtration, shut-off devices and electrical control, creating a turn-key smart vacuum system that is cost-effective and completely ready for use by the customer — for a variety of applications.

Learn how a producer of specialty chemicals optimizes the safety and reliability of polymer-emulsions manufacturing with the assistance of special eccentric disc pumps.

Lanzatech submitted a bid to the UK Department for Transport (DfT) Future Fuels for Flight and Freight Competition (F4C) for partial funding of this facility and has been selected for project development funding with a $ 545,000 grant from the UK government.

Take your API production to the next level – Multi-physics numerical simulation is emerging as game-changing technology to help continuous manufacturing for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) become a reality through virtual prototyping, optimization and modeling of the complete system.

With the Deco pulse, Metall + Plastic presented a new, innovative system to introduce H2O2 into isolators at the Achema show with the advantage of a decontamination cycle that is 50 % shorter. And, due to the reduced utilisation of H2O2, there is less strain on the material, substances and product.

The mindset in R&D departments of pharmaceutical companies has changed. There is no longer a question of finding the right machine, but rather adapting the machine to the process and the product to the customer. Read this article about a modified hammer mill, which provides reproducible results under stable process conditions.

Unmanned offshore rigs and production platform have become a standard in today’s oil and gas industry. Automation is the technology that enables running oil production on the high seas without having actual workers on the rig. Now, new integrated electrical and communication solutions shall increase productivity at seven unmanned oil platforms off the UAE coast…
