Industrial heating can be obtained through various technologies such as fuel, electricity and steam as well as hybrid technologies that combine two or more technologies. Fuel-based heating technology is the most common today due to the relatively low prices of fossil fuels.

The role that boards of directors and executives can play in ensuring that effective safety management systems are in place at oil-and-gas facilities is the focus of a new guide from U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB). “CSB Best Practice Guidance for Corporate Boards of Directors and Executives in the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry for Major Accident Prevention” looks at how company executives can help properly manage risks, with the goal of preventing major accidents and protecting workers, the public and the environment.

Johan Tallberg has joined the executive management team of Cleaver-Brooks as senior vice president of burner systems and exhaust solutions.

Industrial fired heaters are known to be the oldest and most common industrial process devices. Many manufacturing processes (if not all of them) involve heat exchange in some way or another, and the use of fired heaters is a way to provide such energy exchange. 

Whether you want a batch, paddle or web dryer, or something else altogether, you are looking in the right place.

The controllers simultaneously display mass flow, volumetric flow, pressure and temperature. Models DPC57, DPC67 and the DPC77 are designed to control gases at 200, 500 and 1000 L/min flow ranges, respectively.

Bebco EPS purge and pressurization system is designed specifically for use with large motors or large enclosures in Zone 1 hazardous areas. The 6100 Series can purge an enclosure over 450 ft3 (12.2 m3) and is suited for applications in the chemical, petrochemicals and oil-and-gas industries.

Two primary uses for steam in the power and process industries are performing mechanical work and as a heat transfer medium. Superheated steam is preferred for mechanical work because it does not contain entrained water droplets, which can damage rotating equipment.

Used for generating steam for power, processing or space heating, or for producing hot water to heat products or a hot water supply, a boiler delivers steam or hot fluid to the end use point at the desired pressure and temperature.

Electric and fluid power actuators have been installed on a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel in Brazil. The actuators will control the flow of oil and gas from the FPSO to the metering system.
