tation processes, hydrocyclone operating
conditions have a direct impact on
overall plant availability and efficiency.
CycloneSense technology allows users
to visualize the performance inside
the cyclone. It allows continuous online
measurement of the cyclone's air
core shape, size and location based on
process tomography, thus helping to
find and maintain the optimal operating
point for the hydrocyclone. In addition,
the measurement system helps
to detect and prevent potential problem
situations, such as roping, where
the slurry is not properly separated and
instead some of the larger particles
are sent to the overflow and directly to
the next stage of processing. Combining
CycloneSense with this company's
PSI particle-size analyzer allows for
optimization of the cyclone cluster and
grinding circuit. - Metso Outotec Oyj,

new explosion-proof Lumiglas
Model USL08LED-EX (photo) is said to
be the brightest sight-glass light available
on the market at 50% brighter than
its competitors. Employing LED light,
Lumiglas delivers a service life that is
ten times greater than typical halogen
lights, with one-fifth of the energy consumption.
These lights can be precisely
tuned to correct color temperatures,
eliminating the distorting yellow glow of
halogen lights that can affect vessel inspection.
These sturdy, compact lights
are now available with up to 2,200 lumens
at a color temperature of 6,200
K. Designed for combination light/sight
port or separate light- and sight-port
vessel applications, Lumiglas lights are
also suitable for specific area lighting,
including sight-flow indicators, instruments,
control panels, valve manifolds,
walkways and more. The explosionproof
lights are also moisture-proof and
feature an advanced shock-resistant
design. Lumiglas LED lights are UL
844 listed for Class I, Division 1 & 2,
Groups C & D, and Division 2 Groups
A & B applications. LED lights are approved
for wet conditions, UL 1571
and carry IP65 rating for dust and
waterjet tight protection. - LJ Star,

industrial-gases supply chain
The Transcend IoT Platform streamlines
industrial-gas supply-chain data
by integrating data from multiple remote-monitored
tanks, as well as adjacent
equipment, such as vaporizers,
compressors, pipelines, programmable
logic controllers (PLCs) and other
advanced systems. Users have the
ability to visualize key parameters in
a single platform, such as tank level
and pressure, along with advanced
systems flowrates, ambient temperatures,
pressure and other variables,
all in customizable dashboards. The
insights provided by Transcend can
help users access enhanced predictive
analytics and accelerate digitalization
across the entire supply chain.

New calibration technology
extends gas-detector operation
The new TruCal calibration technology,
included with this company's
Ultima X5000 and General Monitors
S5000 gas detectors (photo) for H2S
and CO, means that the devices require
no calibration checks for up to
24 months. Typically, a gas sensor's
electrolyte, or one or more of the
electrodes, may limit the life of the
sensor, especially in high-temperature
or humid environments. These
conditions and issues often require
frequent recalibration or clearing of
blocked sensors in harsh environments.
The TruCal technology solves
these problems with an extended calibration
technology, which automatically
self-checks and corrects sensor
drift to extend calibration cycles using
adaptive environmental-compensation
(AEC) algorithms. This capability
eliminates bump checks and assures
the user that the sensor is healthy,
measuring accurately and capable of
detecting gas continuously. - MSA
