Valve position feedback and end position monitoring systems are used in process engineering plants to transfer information about the state of valves to the control panels and control rooms. Modern solutions operate inductively and offer a number of advantages over conventional feedback systems with mechanical
In the food processing industry, size reduction equipment is widely used to process foods from their original shapes and sizes into their final forms. Products such as shredded cheese, sliced and diced vegetables, potato chips, and peanut butter are manufactured using size reduction equipment. Pepperl+Fuchs
There’s lots of talk among process manufacturers about convergence, but how does it actually work? Yokogawa’s CI Server is a key part on the solution. One of the fastest changing aspects of life is the multitude of ways we are seeing growth of smart,
The semiconductor industry is continually looking at higher yields to cope with increasing demand. A memory chip manufacturer in Japan, wanted to add pure nitrogen measurement points in its existing facility, ahead of an expansion. The Air Separation Unit (ASU) provider reached out
Chemical, petrochemical, biochemical, and pharmaceutical companies, as well as research institutions, may store liquids in large tanks, have mixing chambers, or may have reaction processes where the presence of oxygen could lead to a fire or an explosion. Application Oxygen is measured in inert gases
In wastewater treatment aerobic digestion enables plants to increase their capacity at economical costs by injecting oxygen into the wastewater head space. This results in up to a five time increase in the treatment capacity. Application Oxygen concentration is critical to the treatment process. If
In today’s world, chip demand is at a record high, exacerbated by the impact of the pandemic and the ever increasing demand for digital technology. As a result, the semiconductor industry is one of the fastest growing industries. Panametrics was approached by an
Our world is in a tremendous state of change, with an ever growing global population that puts pressure on food and water sources, a workforce that is transforming how and where it works, and a consumer community that’s more informed than ever —
When you’re designing facilities and systems to handle your unique processes, or you’re planning to retrofit or upgrade existing plants, there are critical considerations about how you will seal rotating equipment. Overlooking them early in a project can jeopardize whether your company achieves
