A waste-heat-to-power technology at a German biogas site is the first of its kind to operate the ElectraTherm ORC (organic Rankine cycle) in tandem with a small steam engine, says the maker. The combination doubles the power output from waste heat, boosting the efficiency of the power plant by more than 10 percent.

When sausage maker James T. Blakeman & Co. Ltd., Newcastle, United Kingdom, suffered production downtime as a result of inconsistent cooking temperatures, the company decided to call in thermal oil specialist Global Heat Transfer, Staffordshire, United Kingdom.

Dürr, Bietigheim-Bissingen, Germany, is the general contractor installing two paint shops, each with two topcoat lines, at Changan Ford Automotive’s Chongqing and Hangzhou locations. The new lines include processes that save energy and reduce the footprints of the paint shops.

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) recently certified the quality-assurance system of Tranter Latin America in accordance with international guidelines.

Designed for monitoring of oxygen and combustible, toxic and refrigerant gases in remote locations, Model OLCT 80 reduces installation costs by eliminating cabling and wiring.

Grade M-58 has received approval from the Food and Drug Administration so it can be used in food contact applications, meaning the oil-free, self-lubricating, carbon-graphite material can be used in dry running, food mixer seals to provide lower seal friction and longer seal wear life.

Series 3699A and 3699B offer high-end electronic features to provide exact sensing and control of heating, cooling and humidity.

Vibration-resistant Model DST400 is compatible with five different thermocouple types: K, J, T, E or S. The thermometer is usable in applications with temperatures from -40 to 3,200°F (-40 to 1,760°C).

They offer a larger circumference compared to tube in shell. For the same flow area, there is a larger heat transfer surface.

The burner is the true driver of fuel use and costs in a boiler. Over time, a burner’s moving parts wear out, and the burner loses its ability to keep tight control of the fuel-to-air ratio.

Thermal insulation jackets help keep heat from radiating away from your process equipment.

1. Installed components are inherently inefficient at the normal operating conditions.

Convection and conduction heaters are used in heat processing applications to create and apply heat via either a medium such as air or via direct contact.

Most plant operators are aware of the need to save money and reduce the environmental impact of their plant through better water management. Typically, this line of thinking results in the development of ways to reduce water consumption.

Pilot-scale biorefineries in California, Iowa and Washington will test renewable biofuels as a domestic alternative to power cars, trucks and planes following nearly $18 million in funding from the Department of Energy in April.

In recent years, burner technology advancements have led to the development of higher efficiency, lower emissions products. Burner engineers have made great strides in increasing burner turndown and lowering excess air levels even at the lower firing rates. At the same time, they have engineered ways to reduce NO_X to single-digit levels.
