Pressure Relief Valve and Gas-Tight Butterfly Valves

Rico Sicherheitstechnik will be exhibiting its Redisc pressure relief valve and gas-tight butterfly valves at a trade fair for powder & bulk solids processing and analytics in Germany. The latest product addition to the firm’s portfolio is the pressure relief valve which is used in isolators to ensure pressure equalization in the event of increased overpressure.

OME Synthesis: A New Route to Diesel Fuels?

Power-to-X is on everyone’s lips: as energy storage, alternatives to battery-electric mobility or basic raw materials for industrial processes, the conversion of green electricity into material form is a cornerstone of all defossilization strategies. But how realistic is the vision of fuel from the socket? A test plant in Lower Bavaria, Germany, shows that the necessary technologies have long been in the starting blocks.

New Radar Sensor for all Applications

The Joker of Radar Level Measurement

Why do you only need to remember one radar level sensor from now on? Whether you’re dealing with liquid or bulk material, whether at 6 GHz, 26 GHz or 80 GHz — in future, one radar sensor will cover all applications. It couldn’t be simpler, promise the radar experts at Vega, who have one thing in mind above all: better processes for the user.
