Innovations
reducing feature not possible with common bypass functions.
With just a single part number, the
ASCO 141 series ARCS features several
advances that simplify specification, installation and operation. Supplied as a
fully integrated, comprehensive solution
using a manifold instead of individual
valves, ARCS comes pre-tested from the
factory and ready to install.
The direct valve-to-valve design eliminates pipework and fittings between
the solenoid valves and minimizes leak
points for increased reliability and a
lower total cost of ownership. A status
indicator with feedback helps facilitate
preventive maintenance while providing
online fault detection and digital input
feedback (via pressure switches or Emerson-exclusive GO Switch options) to
the control room. For additional peace
of mind, the ASCO 327 series 3/2-way
direct acting solenoid valves included on
the ARCS manifold are certified to SIL 3
capable (exida) standards.
A direct-acting platform with advanced diagnostic capability and online

maintenance features, ARCS is suitable
for a wide variety of valve piloting applications to meet both safety and operational availability requirements.

MSS publishes
revised standard
for diaphragm valves
The Manufacturers Standardization
Society (MSS) of the Valve and Fittings
Industry has announced that SP-882021, Diaphragm Valves, has been revised and published by the MSS.
Standard Practice (SP)-88 has served
as an industry norm for more than 43 yr,
providing a framework for the limitations
and requirements of valves in which a
nonmetallic, resilient diaphragm is used
to separate the working parts of the valve
from the line fluid and also functions in
conjunction with other parts as a valve
closure member.
This Standard Practice applies to
valves for general liquid and gas service
that effect valve closure by means of a
resilient diaphragm sealing against a weir

or a diaphragm acting in conjunction
with a separate or integral disk-member
sealing against a seat, having equal sealing capability in either flow direction,
and having diaphragms being essentially
made of elastomeric or plastic material
or combinations thereof.
SP-88 continues to be maintained
under the consensus of MSS Technical Committee 406, Diaphragm Valves.
The revised Standard Practice, MSS SP88-2021, is now available from authorized U.S. and global distributors. It has
been published in an electronic version
(PDF) and in book format.

Reducing the Green Premium - Technology Enablers to
Accelerate Hydrogen and Carbon Capture Development
Ron Beck
Director, Marketing Strategy
Aspen Technology, Inc.

Hydrogen and carbon capture have become focal points as energy and chemical companies look
to reduce emissions and achieve net-zero carbon targets. But what's the best approach?
Please join Hydrocarbon Processing Executive Editor Adrienne Blume and AspenTech Industry
Expert Ron Beck as they discuss how new digital tools integrated with existing technology give
you a competitive edge to reduce your carbon footprint while greatly advancing your overall
sustainability efforts. Learn how new innovations enable you to:
