Articles explore paint and metal finishing, heat produced coatings and other finishing operations, looking at the role of heat and thermal processing equipment in the design, manufacture and production.
Articles explore food processing and production, looking at the role of heat and thermal processing equipment in the design, manufacture and production.
Articles explore pharmaceutical production and packaging, looking at the role of heat and thermal processing equipment in the design, manufacture and production.
Articles explore pulp and papermaking as well as converting, looking at the role of heat and thermal processing equipment in the design, manufacture and production.
Articles explore plastics and rubber processing and production, looking at the role of heat and thermal processing equipment in the design, manufacture and production.
One of the ways to reduce the adverse effects of burners on the environment is to convert legacy fuel trains in industrial heating and steam applications from running on petroleum and other fossil fuels to renewable and biodegradable biofuels.
This issue includes our 2022 reader picks on topics relating to process cooling. What makes a reader pick? Primarily, it’s based on how popular these articles have been on our websites over time. Without further ado, let’s take a look at each.
The winner of our inaugural Process Heating & Cooling Innovation Award is Robert J. Ferguson of French Creek Software, Valley Forge, Pa. The award, presented at the 2022 Process Heating & Cooling Show, recognized Rob’s recognizes the result of his life’s work: improving cooling water treatment.
Following the 26th United Nationsʼ Climate Change Conference and the numerous pledges from countries and companies for net-zero emissions, the acceleration towards decarbonization is tangible. Process manufacturers have increased urgency to improve their environmental impact.
The process to extend the life expectancy of a valve begins with valve selection and continues through installation, operation and maintenance procedures.
Industrial valve maintenance can reduce downtime, extend equipment life expectancy and reduce long-term operational costs. In some applications, poor valve maintenance can lead to potentially unsafe conditions where high pressure builds up, or hazardous and dangerous fluids are released.
The intersection formed via the industrial Internet of Things, digitalization and technology such as advanced analytics allows manufacturers to leverage time-series and contextual data for process insights.
Using tools that promote self-service analytics can help process experts reduce downtime by finding the root cause of a process anomaly quickly. Process experts also can gain insight into the performance and reliability of assets to schedule timely maintenance, thus prolonging asset health and life.
Several C-level executives offer their perspectives as manufacturers of process heating equipment, components and supplies. In that vein, I offer my own view from the top of our team at Process Heating.
From glass manufacturing to textile production, companies utilize heat during their manufacturing processes. This article seeks to educate the reader on the principles of infrared heating and how to select an appropriate type of infrared heater for a given application.
