New Products
A new product platform for
liquid-measurement needs
The Polaris line of inline process refractometers
(photo) can be used
for a broad range of industrial liquidmeasurement
applications. Used for
inline liquid-concentration measurements,
this process refractometer
family is said to be the first fully inhouse
developed refractometer series
that combines both liquid and
gas measurement capabilities. The
Polaris series includes several dedicated
models for various industrial
sectors. The PR53AC is designed for
hygienic applications in the food-andbeverage
and life-sciences sectors.
The PR53GP is designed to measure
concentrations of sugars, acids, alkaline
solutions, alcohols and solvents.
The PR53SD measures total
dissolved solids in pulp-and-paper
processes. Additional models target
semiconductor manufacturing, metals
and mining and hydrocarbons. -

This new app improves CCUS
process design and reliability
As industry seeks to meet their netzero
commitments, captured CO2
must often be transported hundreds
of miles to and from carbon-capture,
utilization and storage (CCUS) hubs.
The new CO2 Transportation Cloud
application (app;

users to make data-driven decisions
to reduce risk, maintain safe operating
conditions and maximize asset
utilization for transportation of CO2.
To develop the app, this company
conducted extensive thermodynamic
studies into the behavior of
impurities, such as H2S, oxides of
nitrogen (NOx) and water, in densephase
CO2 transportation conditions
and have extended their models to
accurately predict corrosive phases
or solid formations in CO2 pipelines.
By democratizing first-principlesbased
predictive models through a
simple user experience, this app can
bring vital information to help organizations
realize how conditions will
impact operations and optimize CO2
transportation. - OLI Systems, Inc.,

A new six-channel transmitter
with easy setup and configuration
With the new 9950-10/11 transmitter
(photo), this company has added
a six-channel option to its 9950
product family. Additional features,
such as derived functions and Boolean
logic, provide expanded control
options that may reduce the need
for
programmable logic controllers
(PLCs) on small skids and systems.
The intuitive menu makes the transmitter
easy to operate, and relay activations
are clearly signaled by the
user-selectable red backlight display.
Additional versatility is provided with
its capability for multiple parameters
through support of flow and analytical
sensors. The 9950 features up to six
4-20-mA outputs, Modbus connectivity
and input and outputs that are
fully customizable. The line also offers
a choice of sensor combinations.
The 9950 is suitable for a wide variety
of applications, including water- and
wastewater-treatment systems, reverse
osmosis, deionization, media
filtration, chemical manufacturing, air
scrubbers, cooling towers, aquaculture
and more. - GF Piping Systems,

This valve is certified for use with
up to 100% hydrogen mixtures
BM6X Series Slam-Shut valve (photo)
has received approval by Bureau Veritas
Italia for use in applications with up
to 100% hydrogen and pressures up
to 100 bars. The certification granted
to the BM6X Series Slam-Shut valve
confirms the verification of material
suitability, based on internal and
external seal tests performed at the
company's production plant in Castel
Maggiore, Italy. The Bureau Veritas
procedure, relating to the issue of
Type Approval for hydrogen-operated
actuators and valves, defines the audit
process for the issue, maintenance
and renewal of the certification for
actuators and valves used with hydrogen
or hydrogen mixtures. The BM6X
Series Slam-Shut valve has multiple
applications throughout gas transmission
networks, regulating stations and
end-use infrastructure. - Emerson,
