calibration, utilizing spectral correction
methods in applications when
periodic system calibration is not required.
The analyzers can be configured
with 532-, 785- or 1,000-nm excitation
wavelengths, with the ability
to measure up to four channels. Measurements
can be taken inline, online
or at-line. - Kaiser Optical Systems,

New fl ange monoblock with
shutoff valve
Schütz
The compact design of this new
monoblock with flange connection
(photo) integrates a shutoff valve to
separate the process from the instrument
side. The one-piece construction
and the double sealing (metal
and plastic), tested in accordance
with BS6755/ISO 5208 leakage rate
A, ensure user and process safety.
The model IBF1 can be fitted with either
a ball valve or a needle valve. The
new instrumentation valve complements
the existing monoblock portfolio,
which includes the models IBF2
(block and bleed) and IBF3 (double
block and bleed). All IBF models can
also be fitted on level indicators and
differential-pressure measuring instruments
for level measurement. -

This IBC has a compact design
for streamlined shipping
The new Ecobulk MX 560 intermediate
bulk container (IBC; photo) has a lower
height than standard models and a
nominal volume of 560 L (150 gal). The
MX 560 offers a significant advantage
when shipping by sea: the pallet size
makes optimum use of the storage and
transport space in standardized largecapacity
containers, even for mixed
loads with larger MX IBC variants. With
triple stacking throughout, 30 IBCs of
this model will fit in a 20-ft ISO container.
The four horizontal tubes of the
steel grid provide the necessary stability
and ensure secure stacking. The large,
metal label plate, which covers eight
fields of the steel grid, provides plenty
of space for detailed product information.
With its reduced capacity and
optimized footprint, the new IBC offers
22
lower capital tie-up and shorter storage
times for products with a slow turnover.
The IBC can also be equipped with an
ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) permeation
barrier, which ensures product
quality, safeguards the filling product
against changes in the environment
and against potential contamination by
stopping oxygen, nitrogen and other
gases from permeating in and out of
the container. - Schütz GmbH & Co.

Remove toxic fumes and gases
economically and effectively
The Fume Scrubber product line
(photo) offers a reliable way to remove
and neutralize acid fumes, noxious
laboratory gases, particulate matter,
odors, dust and condensable contaminants
in manufacturing processes.
The Fume Scrubbers work by pulling
contaminated fumes and gases into
the flow of a wash fluid, such as dilute
sodium hydroxide. The intimate mixing
of air/gas and liquid streams produces
an effective and instant cleaning solution.
Scrubbed of contaminants, the
air/gas mixture is then separated from
the wash liquid in a separation tank.
The washing fluid is then recycled and
reused. The effectiveness of the process
is enhanced by properly matching
the contacting scrubber fluid with the
air or gas feed stream. This methodology
is said to be more effective than
filters for gas and condensable vapor
removal. Furthermore, Fume Scrubber
systems are not impacted by corrosive
fumes and require little maintenance.

Reusable gas samplers
for VOC analysis
The new POD (pocket diffuser) sampler
(photo, p. 23) is a passive sampler
that combines the benefits of radial
and axial samplers for volatile organic
compounds (VOCs). POD gas samplers
provide improved sensitivity and
accuracy, along with faster response
times, when compared to other passive
samplers, says the company,
while also bringing the additional benefit
of re-usability. POD sampler cartridges
can be reconditioned and reused
over 100 times, which is around
