The BSA and A3S isolation valves are engineered to maintain plant safety and save energy by eliminating stem seal leaks. The valves can help oil, gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage facilities reduce energy use and ensure operator and plant safety. 

Plant managers seeking to achieve across-the-board improvements in their process operations should look no further than their fired assets.

Impedance pipe heating is a long-established and accepted — but poorly understood — pipe heating technology. While a simple and elegant way to heat a pipeline, impedance pipe heating technology often is viewed incorrectly and misunderstood as a method to heat process piping.

Many processes involve the heating of volatile, flammable solvents, and these require some type of safety oven to mitigate the risk of a fire or explosion. These ovens fall roughly into three categories, depending on which side of the fire triangle they address.

When selecting a safety control system for a combustion application, it is essential to recognize that many trade-offs will need to be weighed before making a decision. In simple terms, the reliability will decrease when adding safety to any system.

The spectrum of applications found in the process industries means that burner designs must vary widely. Smaller burners are utilized in paint booths, ovens and furnaces while larger burners are specified for incinerators, thermal oil heaters and oxidizers.

Imagine, if you will, the process of specifying an industrial dryer if you were explaining it in a classic children’s book.

In so many factories these days, the focus is “Safety is no accident,” and personnel well-being is prioritized more than ever. The benefits of a safety culture in an industrial setting are many: improved worker happiness and retention, reduced insurance costs and higher productivity.
