all common ranges from -1 to 1,000
barg (-14.5 to 15,000 psig) with an accuracy
of down to 0.25% of full scale.
The measuring rate can be set to 1,
3, 4 or 10 measurements per second.

A new electrolyzer module for
this simulation software
This company recently released an
electrolyzer module in the new version
of its ProSimPlus software (photo).
By combining this module with other
equipment from the ProSimPlus library,
users can simulate the entire process
of H2 production via electrolysis of
water and optimize the process as a
whole. The new electrolyzer module
has the ability to rigorously simulate an
electrolysis process by offering a flexible
modeling approach, depending on
the data available to the user. A first approach
quickly establishes the material
and energy balances, taking into account
possible recycling of the electrolyte
solution, purges and equilibration
lines, as well as determining the necessary
makeup streams. A more detailed
approach uses a selection of rigorous
models to calculate, based on operating
conditions and technological characteristics,
all operating parameters:
efficiency, electrical characteristics,
voltage-current characteristic curves
and so on. The electrolysis module allows
for the representation of alkaline,
proton exchange membrane and solidoxide
electrolysis cells. - ProSim,

These towers emit
clearly visible light signals
The new TL 305 series light towers
(photo) provide bright and homogeneous
illumination, indicating
states, faults and ongoing processes
clearly and visibly from a distance.
The compact towers are available
preconfigured with three, four or five
segments. The new range of tower
lights includes the TL 305 models
with predefined color assignment, as
well as the TL 305-IOL models with
IO-Link interface. The IO-Link variants
allow different operating modes
and provide an extensive selection of
colors. On request, the tower lights

are also available with an additional
acoustic signaler. The M30 thread
and M12 connector make installation

Easy-to-operate
level-measuring devices
The new generation of Micropilot
80 GHz radar sensors (photo)
- FMR60B, FMR62B, FMR63B,
FMR66B and FMR67B - are suited
for challenges when measuring points
that are not easily accessible, located
in dusty areas and harsh environments
with extreme process temperatures
and process conditions.
The new generation of sensors come
equipped with digital assistance operating
via multiple human-machine
interface (HMI) formats, including the
SmartBlue application (app), making
the sensors easier to use. Besides
established digital-communication
protocols like HART, other digital protocols,
such as Profibus and Ethernet/
APL, will be included in the near future.
The measurement performance
of the new radar chip combined with
the smart Heartbeat Technology
monitoring function helps to increase
productivity. - Endress+Hauser, Inc.,

Multi-agitator mixing systems for
specialty applications
This company has engineered a purpose-built
VM-450-gallon VersaMix
(photo) that features three independently
driven agitators, including a
two-wing center-mounted agitator with
contoured bottom and Teflon scrapers
to efficiently motivate viscous product
throughout the mixing zone, a long
helical flight agitator to produce better
top-to-bottom mixing and a dual-propeller
agitator for low shear, high-flow
mixing. The tank of the VersaMix is
fabricated from durable 304 stainless
steel, designed for vacuum operation
and internal pressures of up to 50 psi.
For efficient discharge, a two-way, flush
tank ball valve has been integrated,
while a 14-in. manway provides access
for ingredient additions and cleaning
operations. - Charles Ross & Son
