DOE steers funds toward sustainable transportation R&D
The DOE plans to make available nearly $300 million for research and development of sustainable transportation resources and technologies.
Emerson’s new pulse valve delivers higher peak pressure for longer bag, filter lifespan and reduced maintenance
The new design improves airflow through the filter bags or cartridges for optimized dust collector performance while reducing costly compressed air consumption.
Valve positioner with explosion-proof housing for use with natural gas applications
The valve positioner is designed as an option to deliver safe, stable and accurate control of rotary and linear valves in applications using sweet natural gas in hazardous environments.
Wind sprints toward a looming deadline
The expected expiration of the U.S. production tax credit at the end of 2020 is driving the large wind capacity addition.
High vacuum pumps: Operation, specification and configuration
High vacuum pumps provide evacuation of chambers or systems into the high vacuum (10-3 to 10-8 torr) or ultra-high vacuum range of pressure. Mechanical pumps and venturi generators operate in the medium to rough vacuum ranges.
Oil and gas reserves reached record levels, EIA says
Favorable prices for oil and natural gas drove record U.S. oil and natural gas proved reserve levels in 2018.
Watt-Flex cartridge heaters offer continuous coil heating technology
Watt-Flex heaters have a unique continuous heating coil which creates a uniform temperature profile.
Report urges focus on supply chain recovery after a disaster
The report draws on lessons learned from the 2017 hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria and was prepared at the request of FEMA.
Efficient and quiet external gear pump with helical teeth
Elika gear pumps feature a proprietary tooth profile and housing geometry to address low-noise, high-efficiency applications.
Video: Gantry motion system for inspection, assembly and 3D printing
The compact XY/XYZ gantry motion system provides overhead motion for industrial automation applications in assembly, pick-and-place, alignment, inspection and custom 3D printer design.
Complimentary HVAC coil cleaning guide
The e-book provides real-world examples and data to show the impacts on efficiency and system longevity of cleaning coils.
DOE awards $25 million for natural gas infrastructure innovations
The projects aim to develop tools, methods and technologies to enhance the safety and efficiency of U.S. natural gas production, gathering, storage and transmission.
“Expertise doesn’t recognize national boundaries”: A conversation with ISA’s Eric Cosman
A chemical engineer with more than 35 years of experience in the process industries, Cosman will be the ISA president throughout 2020, the society's anniversary year.
DOE to support new materials development for extreme environments
The program is intended to improve cost, performance and reliability of fossil power generation and also enhance the competitiveness of the U.S. high-temperature materials supply chain.
Hermetic Pumpen expands V-Line
The modular line of canned motor pumps for chemical and petrochemical industries has expanded.
Chevron approves $5.7 billion high-pressure deepwater project
The Anchor Field is located in the Green Canyon area, some 140 miles off the coast of Louisiana, in water depths of around 5,000 ft.
Bars and stripes forever: How bar codes changed supply chains
Unlike many innovations, the idea of bar codes was not one where potential users had to be convinced that they needed this better mousetrap. Instead, the incentive included pleas by retailers for a better system of inventory control and checkout.
Atlas Copco expands intelligent vacuum pump series for robust processes
The pump series is accompanied by a new app that enhances the remote monitoring and intelligence of vacuum pumps.
Hydraulic Institute publishes pump application guideline for commercial building services
This guideline has been created to provide engineers, trainers, maintenance staff and plant operators with the knowledge necessary to effectively specify pumps in North America.
Hydraulic repair services
Radwell provides quality repair services for hydraulic components including motors, pumps, actuators, valves, servo valves and cylinders.
