Intelligent valve automation
AUMA's compact electric actuator ranges
offer precise, robust and reliable flow control
for chemical, food, and other industries.
lectric actuator manufacturer AUMA is showcasing the latest advances
in valve actuation at this year's ACHEMA. The new SDL
linear actuators are ideally suited for demanding temperature control
systems, for example preheating and cooling systems, and fluid
metering systems.
The smart actuators are equipped with variable-speed motors
E
that provide soft starts and stops, ensuring gentle treatment of
mechanical components. Variable-speed operating profiles help to
avoid critical pressure surges and cavitation. Parameters can be set
via software, and both Modbus RTU and
Profibus DP interfaces are available.
The new SDL actuators complement
AUMA's wide range of compact actuators,
all designed for high precision process
control even under harsh industrial environments.
Linear actuators cover thrusts
of 0.6 - 25 kN and strokes of 35 - 300
mm. Part-turn actuators offer torques
of 25 - 1,000 Nm. Globe valve actuators
offer torques of 10 - 100 Nm, with strokes
from 60 - 70 mm.

High Performance
Technology for
Hydrogenation
And Other Reactions
Limited by Mass and Heat Transfer
The Challenge
The hydrogenation reaction
is highly exothermic and very
mass transfer resistant.
The Solution
The BIAZZI's High
AUMA SDL linear
actuators provide
high positioning
accuracy for
demanding metering
and temperature
control applications.
New generation of
degassing reaction module
E
RMO degassing reaction module enhances
efficiency and versatility of
ENTEX planetary roller extruder.
The patented addition to the modular
ENTEX construction system offers a
significantly larger process space volume
compared to the standard roller cylinder
of the same size. This is due to the increased internal diameter of the
toothed liner and planetary spindles with a larger diameter.
Developed for degassing applications, where free large-scale
process surfaces and generously dimensioned flow cross-sections
are decisive, ERMO maximizes these aspects without significantly
changing the size of the extruder.
ERMO can be installed at any point of the process section as a
replacement for a standard roller cylinder. The standard planetary
spindles are replaced by the larger ERMO planetary spindles and
the intermediate rings connected upstream and downstream are
replaced by appropriately adapted intermediate rings. Due to the
slightly larger outer diameter of the ERMO cylinder, the heat protection
jacket is also replaced. The original central spindle can remain
and no further modifications of the existing extruder are necessary.
Like all other components of the modular ENTEX system, depending
on the process requirements, several ERMOs can be installed in
line or at individual positions of an extruder processing section. In
addition, there are various supplementary options, such as side-feeders
or additional injection and degassing openings. www.entex.de

Performance Reactor System
(BHPR) is characterised by a
high capability for heat removal
and high gas-liquid mass transfer,
as well as high internal gas
recirculation.
The advantages
* High productivity
* High quality of the products
* Highest Safety standards
* Full performance guarantees
* Optimised OPEX and CAPEX
* Scale-up in shortest time
* Minimum maintenance needed
Applications for the
chemical Industry
The BHPR is used for
Gas/Liquid reactions (e.g.
Hydrogenation, Oxidation,
Carbonylation, Amination, etc.).
Scale-up
BIAZZI scales up laboratory
test results directly to any size
of industrial plants up to 50 m3
and gives performance guarantees
covering capacity, product
yield & quality, etc. for industrial
plants built in the shortest
time.
Modular system
BIAZZI offers from basic
engineering and the delivery
of Key-Equipment up to SKID
mounted units. www.biazzi.com
Recovery of high-boiling
solvents
GEA supplies industrial plants for the
separation of compound mixtures by
distillation/rectification and stripping.
he production of various synthetic fibers like
acrylic fibers, rayon, aramid fibers as well as
capillary membranes for medical applications
require large amounts of water and solvents.
In the course of the wet spinning process,
a high-boiling solvent (e.g. DMAc or NMP) is
extracted with water from the fibers. The solvent is highly diluted
and contaminated with impurities. A direct reuse is impossible and
a disposal of the contaminated solvent is due to ecological and economic
aspects not an option. GEA's MVR (mechanical vapor recompression)
heated distillation technology enables manufacturers to
recover up to 98% of the solvents with high purity, while minimizing
energy consumption. Furthermore, the process water needed for
the precipitation step is regenerated and can be recirculated.
GEA's distillation plants are recognized worldwide for their high
thermodynamic efficiencies and high distillate purities achieved.
Due to extensive product know-how and expertise in designing
multi-stage and MVR heated plant concepts, GEA is able to offer
innovative tailor-made and thermally optimized solutions - from
product testing and design throughout project execution to startup,
operation of your plant until individual service concepts.
