New Products
These compressors are
designed to reduce energy use
The new SM 7.5, SM 10, SM 15,
and SFC 8 rotary-screw compressors
(photo) have been redesigned to
reduce energy consumption, extend
service life and improve operational
performance. These models feature
the new Sigma 06 airend, which is
said to increase intake capacity when
combined with IE4 motors on the
10- and 15-hp models to deliver up
to 10% more flow than previous versions.
The updated compressors also
include a dual-flow fan combined with
an external-facing cooler, resulting in
approach temperatures as low as
7°F. This improves the effectiveness
of downstream dryers and filters in
removing contaminants that impact
product quality and tool life. The
die-cast, sickle-shaped blade of the
dual-flow fan reduces noise and cools
both the drive motor and the interior
of the machine for greater reliability. A
built-in web server and communication
ports enable remote monitoring.
The SFC 8 model features a separate
drive cabinet with dedicated cooling
to protect the frequency converter
and maintain optimal operating temperatures.
To reduce floor space and
installation time, these models are
also available with integrated dryers.

Simplify screen changing
for separator systems
The Electro-Lift system (photo) assists
in expediting change times for
separator
screens,
eliminating
the
need for two people to remove each
frame. Electro-Lift is mounted independently
to the frame so there is
no need for it to be locked out when
working. This also enables easier access
to the separator unit's interior for
inspection and cleaning. Engineered
with a 120-V sealed, gear-driven system,
the system is simply plugged
into an electrical outlet and only requires
a single switch for operation.
Unlike traditional hydraulic or pneumatic
changing systems, the frames
will not fall if the power goes out during
screen changes, according to the
company. Electro-Lift systems are
adaptable to fit a variety of different
frame-deck configurations, and most
makes and models of round separators
can easily convert to this system.

A three-in-one
biogas-measurement device
The MGP261 (photo) is said to be the
world's first multigas measurement
instrument for in-situ monitoring of
methane, carbon dioxide and humidity,
offering realtime gas composition
data without sample extraction or
treatment. This compact measurement
instrument is Ex certified up to
Zone 0, which enables inline installation
in explosive atmospheres. The
MGP261 gives continuous readings
of methane, carbon dioxide and water
vapor directly in process pipelines. It
is optimized for biogas production
processes, such as anaerobic digestion
of waste from agriculture, industries
and municipalities, as well as the
utilization of landfill gas. The MGP261
is based on this company's patented
Carbocap technology for infrared
gas measurement. - Vaisala Oyj,

Monitor CFATS compliance with
this new software module
This company's Compliance Manager
software module aids chemical processors
in assuring that their sites are
compliant with the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security's Chemical Facility
Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS).
This module is said to be the first
commercial relational-database software
application designed specifically
to track CFATS compliance solutions
and security measures. The module is
flexible, scalable and secure, and provides
consistent data management in
real time, allowing users to manage all
of their security protocols in one place.
In addition, the Compliance Manager
CFATS module allows organizations
to submit and track forms and reports
related to various requirements, and
it also identifies and organizes the
18 CFATS Risk-Based Performance
Standards with a company's compliance
activities. As site security plans
