eHandbook: Dont Stumble Over Solids

2017-08-15 19:16:00| Chemical Processing

Powders pose problems. But if you address issues upfront you can sail over them. The keys are understanding that vendors aren't clairvoyant when it comes to your concerns; knowing that the interaction of powder and air cause flooding and flushing problems; and realizing that combustible dust is an accident waiting to happen. To ensure you dont stumble over solids, weve put together another Chemical Processing eHandbook. It includes insight on: Run a Pneumatic Conveyor Test -- Use a vendors facility to get information on a number of important parameters Prevent Fine Powder Flushing -- Trapped air can cause fine powders to shoot through cracks and crevices. Heres how to eliminate this bin-afflicting problem. Properly Handle Combustible Dusts -- Specialized vacuum cleaning and pneumatic conveying systems can help prevent dust explosions Download your copy of this Chemical Processing powder eHandbook now.

eHandbook: Mix Up Your Mixing Approach

2017-08-08 14:35:00| Chemical Processing

Achieving blend uniformity is like trying to catch a leprechaun while riding a unicorn. Ingredient characteristics, blend hold times and mixing equipment all affect final quality. In fluid handling, what was once simple with universally standard impellers operating in standard vessels with standardized vessel internals has morphed into more individualized solutions. When it comes to solids, no two powders are alike ever. To assist your mixing, weve put together another Chemical Processing eHandbook. It includes insight on: CFD Stirs Up Mixing -- Progress in simulation provides improved mixer performance Carefully Evaluate Blending Requirements -- When choosing a mixer, consider these four key components that can lead to improved mixing Industrial Mixing Technology Challenges Require New Approach --Individually adapted mixing systems improve productivity and reduce costs Aim for Blend Uniformity -- Ingredient characteristics, blend hold times and mixing equipment all affect final quality Download your copy of this Chemical Processing mixing eHandbook now.

eHandbook: Be Level-Headed About Level

2017-07-19 16:38:00| Chemical Processing

Loss of level control has contributed to significant industrial incidents that have caused catastrophic results and numerous fatalities. It is imperative that you do not underestimate the risk of overfilling and that you consider all factors involved in proper level oversight. Do you know the Golden Rule for nozzle placement for level measurements? Have you heard of the seven simple steps that can provide proper protection? Our latest eHandbook addresses these issues and more. To help stay level, weve put together another Chemical Processing eHandbook. It includes advice on: Properly Measure Liquid/Liquid Interfaces -- Follow a simple rule for location of level gauge nozzles Dont Underestimate Overfillings Risk -- High level can pose serious hazards but seven simple steps can prevent them Select the Correct Non-Contact Sensor -- 3D, radar and laser scanners all provide continuous level measurement but suit different applications. Increase Ultrasonic Sensor Reliability -- Familiarity with application environments, transducers and product design can help inform purchasing decisions Download your copy of this Chemical Processing level eHandbook now.

eHandbook: Evaluate Flow Equipment -- Sealless Pumps, Nozzles and Settlers

2017-07-11 21:36:00| Chemical Processing

There are many things to consider when evaluating your flow equipment namely sealless pumps, nozzles and settlers. Did you know that seals cause more than half of all unscheduled shutdowns of centrifugal pumps? And that most spray applications receive insufficient attention and design consideration because they are subsystems of unit operations? To help you better manage flow, weve put together another Chemical Processing eHandbook. It includes advice on: Select the Right Sealless Pumps -- Understand the advantages and limitations of the two main options Spray Effectively -- Consider new technology as well as operational issues before choosing a nozzle Be Clear About Clarifers -- Understand the design and uses of different types of settlers.
