New Products
These metering pumps feature a
very large turndown ratio
The Flexflow A1F peristaltic metering
pump (photo) is designed for metering
off-gassing chemicals, such as
sodium hypochlorite and peracetic
acid. The pump offers a smooth
chemical feed
without
risk
that
it
will overheat or lose its prime. Furthermore,
the pumps do not require
continuous maintenance and do not
include any check valves that could
potentially clog. A large turndown
ratio (1,000:1) allows users to standardize
on one pump for all chemicalfeed
applications. Feedrates up to
5.6 gal/h (21.19 L/h) and pressures
up to 100 psi (6.89 bars) are achievable.
Other features include a sealed
weatherproof enclosure, a patented
tube-failure-detection functionality,
mounting brackets and a self-adjusting
power supply. - Blue-White

New IIoT platform for
instrumentation management
Netilion (photo) is a new industrial internet
of things (IIoT) ecosystem that
improves lifecycle and asset management,
maintenance and support
of instruments and analyzers. Users
can manage their installed base by
accessing documentation and data
related to instruments' performance
and health status. Netilion currently
offers several digital services: Scanner,
which is a smartphone application
(app) that guides the user in
capturing field-instrument asset data;
Analytics, which can create a digital
twin of a system; Health, which visualizes
the diagnostic data provided by
an instrument and tracks an instrument's
condition so that maintenance
can be optimized; Library, which is a
file-sharing and data-management
service for the complete lifecycle of
an instrument; and Value, which is a
monitoring service that collects process
data from the field. These digital
services can be used separately or in
concert to improve the management,
maintenance and support of instrumentation
systems - regardless of
type or vendor. - Endress + Hauser,

Process monitoring where
space is at a premium
The LiquiSonic Lab 3-in-1-sensor
(photo) is designed for reactors and
small plants in laboratories and technology
centers. Directly flanged into the
reactor lid, the device monitors sonic
velocity, attenuation and temperature
with high precision. LiquiSonic sensors
can be used for monitoring complex
polymerization or crystallization reactions.
Harsh conditions, such as high
temperature (160°C) or pressure (16
bars), can also be handled. Process kinetics
can be monitored inline and even
under extreme process conditions in
pressurized miniplants or pilot reactors.
Space-saving design, separated sensor
electronics and a user-friendly, multilingual
controller with powerful data
memory characterize the LiquiSonic
system. Sensor materials include Hastelloy
HC2000, tantalum or titanium to
protect against corrosion and promote
long process life. - SensoTech GmbH,
Magdeburg-Barleben, Germany

Maximize energy recovery from
sludge-handling processes
The DTR Series of double-tube heat
exchangers (photo) is designed specifically
for use with low-viscosity
sludge products as the heating or
cooling medium. This configuration
makes DTR exchangers suitable for
direct sludge-to-sludge heat recovery
in wastewater-treatment operations.
The DTR Series performs well with
fluids that contain particles, without
creating blockages that impede flow.
Special stainless-steel corrugated
tubes are used to increase heat transfer
and reduce fouling. This allows the
product or waste stream to run in
both the inner and outer tubes. It also
allows for easier and faster cleaning,
so overall there is less operational
downtime, even with high-fouling
products. The inner tube of the exchanger
is removable for inspection,
cleaning and maintenance, meaning
that both the tube- and shell-sides
can be inspected and cleaned. For
large installations, multiple units can
be interconnected and mounted in a
frame. - HRS Heat Exchangers Ltd.,
