Flowrate Data Program Monitors Remote Locations
The Dualstream hazardous area flow computer measures wet gas flow in remote well locations and unmanned platforms. The software provides industry-standard wet gas corrections, the manufacturer’s proprietary three-phase live flowrate output, and relevant well flowrate data calculations. Operators can access data via a web interface, allowing for fully remote monitoring and diagnostics. The program was designed for easy installation and is best used with the manufacturer’s Dualstream wet gas flowmeters.

Dry Vacuum Pump Improves Reliability
Claw vacuum pumps use rotating claw rotors to generate a vacuum, and their ability to operate without oil makes them suitable for dry vacuum applications. The nEDC300 is a mono-claw vacuum pump that demonstrates improved reliability and performance while reducing noise levels. The stainless steel construction offers durability in rough applications, while the easily accessible pump elements facilitate efficient sanitation and maintenance. The pump is suitable for vacuum conveying, food processing, and wastewater treatment.

Cut-Resistant Gloves Improve Dexterity
The SmartCut BKCR303 medium-duty gloves now feature a design that improves dexterity and grip and offers A2 cut protection. The gloves are made of multiple layers, beginning with an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fiber that has been reduced to a thinner 13-gauge thickness for improved mobility while maintaining the previous model’s level of cut protection. A non-sticky polyurethane (PU) coating covers the palms and fingers, which improves grip and adds a secondary layer of pierce protection. The PU coating is effective against fats, oils, and greases.

Online Portal Controls Odor-Eliminating Systems
Ecosorb is an interface for remotely monitoring and operating industrial odor-neutralization systems. It is optimally used with the manufacturer’s odor-eliminating instruments, allowing operators to remotely control this equipment via phone, tablet, or personal computer. This interface gives operators the ability to remotely start, stop, and change vaporization system operating modes; track and trend flow-rates, energy use, downtime, and other key performance indicators (KPIs); and adjust product dosage to coincide with fluctuating odor-producing periods. This software sends alerts and notifications to personnel and provides an intuitive dashboard for viewing generated metrics, charts, and diagrams.

Reactor Controller Software Is Designed for Pilot Plants
The Pilot Reactor Controller allows operators to control, automate, and monitor pilot reactors using a single software interface. The program uses Open Platform Communications United Architecture (OPC UA) to provide continuous connectivity and control over circulators, stirrers, sensors, pumps, and other devices, and the numerical and graphical live displays allow intuitive and efficient process monitoring. The no-code interface can be quickly installed, and it is accessible to operators without specialist programming knowledge. The controller can also incorporate user-programmable safety procedures, high- and low-level alarms, and safe standby procedures.
