Articles on Common applications

In the process control industries, safety and reliability are paramount. Operators are searching for the peace of mind that comes from high-quality instruments.

Refrigeration is a key component of almost every industry. Aside from the obvious applications, like air conditioning and cold storage, refrigeration is used throughout many industries to facilitate processing. It’s employed for solvent recovery, liquefaction, gas separation, condensing, and heat exchange. In power generation, it cools inlet air for improved turbine performance.

When it comes to plant energy management, the ability to better monitor combustion air, fuel gas flow and compressed air can help identify losses that over short periods of time can affect profitability. Regardless of the scale of an operation, any improvements in efficiency to purchased fuel and electricity consumption drop directly to a company’s bottom line.

Pump skids for fluid transfer are often found in field and factory processes. These skids move a broad range of fluids: from asphalt, cement slurries and drilling mud to potable water, hot condensate and every imaginable liquid chemical. Pump skids typically range from 10 HP electric-powered units to 1500 HP diesel skids with multiple pumps.

Modular skid systems are increasing in popularity in the process industry as a way for owner/operators, OEMs, and plant engineers to fabricate their unit operations.
