Industrial process plants are complex facilities with thousands of components that play a role in the operation of the plant. Not all these components hold the same consequences if they are improperly selected or if they fail to perform their designed function.
We’re always seeing questions about circulation heaters. Specifically, given the abundance of different models and types, customers want to know which works best for their application.
Recently an article was published that presented an easily constructed Excel sheet that estimates hydrodynamic noise in control valves1. A number of people have asked me if there is something similar for aerodynamic noise.
Hydrogen is becoming an increasingly attractive option for many businesses looking to reduce emissions. Parker's H2 range includes products suited to very high pressures and low temperatures, as well as KOLAS, KS ISO and EC79-compliant products and hydrogen service testing options.
Amine units are critical to the operations of refineries and chemical plants. If a unit fails due to corrosion, condensation and foaming, the entire productivity and safety of the facility is imperiled. Temperature measurement solutions allow operators to precisely control amine systems in order to prevent critical failures and maximize efficiency.
A veteran of valve sizing with more than 40 years of experience provides his perspective on how to calculate the compressibility factor of a real gas for control valve sizing purposes.
Adding two solenoid valves to your Safety Instrumented System keeps your equipment, facility and personnel safe and your system online. Read the white paper below to learn more.
Polymer Absorption Sensor (PAS) technology is at the heart of Naftosense products (specifically in Naftosense products, Elastomer Absorption Sensors). PAS technology, developed in the 1950s, has a track record of detecting hydrocarbons in extreme conditions and enables real-time, cost-effective critical infrastructure integrity monitoring.
Naftosense develops and manufactures addressable hydrocarbon leak detection systems that detect hydrocarbons such as refined gasoline, light and heavy crude oils, lubricants, dielectric oils, solvents, and petrochemical compounds. This blog discusses technologies and products that support industrial leak detection.
Most control valve manufacturers include IEC 60534-8-4:2015 in their control valve sizing and selection software to predict control valve hydrodynamic noise. However, users who want to make quick noise predictions or who want to construct valve sizing applications, programming the above noise standard can be a daunting task.
A lesson for me is that I need to involve you earlier in the program.
You were tireless in your support and it will not be forgotten!
