The new Chemineer JT-2 Impeller from NOV has been developed for superior blending in transitional flow. The new impeller is used after conventional turbines have lost efficiency due to viscous effects and before the need for close clearance impellers. The design promotes blending by efficiently moving material in one direction in the center of the tank and the opposite direction on the outside of the tank. The improved flow pattern greatly reduces recirculation zones that extend the blend times of other impellers.

Sealed internal gear pumps
EnviroGear G Series pumps (formerly known as Maag Industrial) utilize only two moving parts and operate in both directions while providing a positive, non-pulsating flow. Multiple inlet and outlet positioning, a single end-clearance adjustment and easy drive-end access provide ease of maintenance and adjustability. G Series pumps are available in both cast iron and stainless steel and are extremely reliable, durable and cost effective for challenging industrial applications involving both thin and highly viscous liquids up to 431,000 cSt.

Mobile odor control
The OdorBoss® 60G with Heat by Dust Control Technology® (DCT) combines a mobile enclosure with insulation, heat tracing and internal heat generation to protect equipment and components during operation and storage in freezing conditions. The unit uses a mixture of water and odor treatment agents to distribute a specially-engineered mist over great distances using a powerful fan that propels the treatment into the air where it can attach to odor vapor without equipment clogging or downtime from frozen lines. Fitted with a 2-5/16” Class III ball hitch, the unit can be quickly repositioned on its trailer to accommodate changing work locations or shifting wind patterns with a standard pickup truck or small skid steer.

Vortex flowmeter for advanced energy measurement
Equipped with comprehensive communication options, and designed in accordance with international IEC 61508 functional safety standards, the OPTISWIRL 4200 vortex flowmeter from KROHNE is a major update to the original OPTISWIRL 4070. With one temperature sensor integrated as standard, the device can be installed as a heat meter in the feed line directly connected with an external temperature sensor in the return line. The gross and net heat calculation can be fed into a distributed control system (DCS) to support advanced energy management. The all-in-one solution features integrated pressure and temperature compensation, and can perform both gross heat calculations for steam and net heat calculations for steam and condensate.

Valve positioner
Badger Meter’s Research Control® SRD991 top-mount valve positioner mounts directly to the top of a control valve with a rugged linear potentiometer. The positioner uses a linear connection which mitigates hysteresis between the positioner and actuator by feeding back the actual position of a valve actuator, providing significantly improved flow control. The SRD991 top-mount positioner is available with an LCD screen, protocols (HART, PROFIBUS-PA and FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1) and two levels of diagnostics. All the diagnostics features can be easily configured and displayed by the positioner Device Type Manager. Moreover, the Positioner DTM enables a complete health report of the valve with full configuration and diagnostics data.

Compact ultrasonic sensors
Carlo Gavazzi’s range of compact ultrasonic sensors comes in M18 housings constructed of either thermoplastic (UA18CSD series) or stainless steel (UA18ESD series). Despite their compact 53 to 61 mm overall housing length, these new sensors provide long sensing distances up to 800 mm. Both digital output and analog output versions are available. Digital NPN or PNP versions can be either NO or NC, and support two different set-points, providing a detection “window.” The analog output versions include 4-20 mA or 0-10 VDC, with positive or negative slope. A simple “teach-by-wire” function provides an easy means to set up the sensor parameters. Standard connection options include either a two meter PVC cable or M12 connector.
