API610 process pumps for one of the biggest and most modern refineries in Russia — Delivering pumps for the petrochemical industry is no easy task for suppliers: Not only, that compliance with international standards is required, the used materials have to be handled according to the highest demands. Especially, when materials like titanium are in needed.

Process and plant engineers will find that the FLT93 switch from Fluid Components International (FCI) provides a ruggedised, ultra-reliable liquid level and flow sensor that detects and switches to help them comply with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Code 30 safety requirements in challenging hazardous environments.

Besides other applications, the challenges concerning medium pressure ball valves apply to oil & gas and hydraulic power units. Mostly, in all these applications, leakage is a serious issue, as the substances under pressure are often flammable. One of the principal challenges in designing a ball valve is determining how to generate sufficient force to create this contact pressure.

Leybold presents its innovative vacuum portfolio at the international trade fair for the meat industry IFFA in Frankfurt am Main from May 4–9, 2019 in hall 11, booth A41. The new Novadry vacuum pump series will be the focus of the presentation. The completely newly developed, oil-free screw vacuum pump ensures significantly greater safety and efficiency in food and packaging processes.

SPX Flow has recently expanded production capabilities by opening a new manufacturing campus in Poland. The US based company manufactures and markets hygienic valves, plate heat exchangers, pumps, homogenizers and process systems designed for use in dairy, food, beverage, pharmaceutical and personal care production.

How production plants could save up to 134 PJ per year — Your production process may be up to the energy efficiency task — but what about your waste heat? Discover how heat recovery systems and economizers can turn exhaust heat into usable energy ...

Drying high-value products is no easy task: When handling hygroscopic or heat sensitive products, vacuum drying is often the method of choice. But not all vacuum processes are the same. Depending on the product characteristics or process parameters, different dryer setups and procedures can be used.

In order for containers such as bags, cardboard boxes, crates, canisters or trays to be stacked stably and efficiently, a palletising system must meet high standards. The intralogistics specialist BEUMER rises to the challenge with the BEUMER robotpac, a space-saving, fully automatic articulated robot, which is able to perform even complex palletising and de-palletising tasks reliably and efficiently. For every packaged good, the supplier has developed a suitable gripping system that can be exchanged flexibly. An additional tool changer allows the fully automatic use of multiple gripping systems that can be operated from a single robot working area.

Low-shear pumping action, responsive control and reliability were critical considerations for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) systems specialist Nalco FabTech when designing and installing a 21-pump polymer injection facility for a Wyoming oilfield. Looking beyond the established plunger-type pumps in general use for polymer injection, the company turned to an alternative.

Fluor Corporation announced its joint venture team, KPJV, has been selected by Tengizchevroil (TCO) to execute the front-end engineering and design for the Multi-Phase Pump Project in Kazakhstan.
