http://www.che.com Chemical Engineering en-us 2013 Sat, 25 May 2013 0:21:21 EDT ParticleTrack E25 is a new inline particle-system-characterization tool. Modifying focused beam reflectance technology (FBRM) for use in settings where pneumatic motors are impractical, the fully electric ParticleTrack E25 measures aqueous particle and... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/solids_handling/testing_and_modeling/10278.html Fri, 1 Mar 2013 0:00:00 EST In the processing environment, powders often appear to exhibit variable flow behavior, which can be the cause of significant inefficiency in the form of unplanned shut downs or compromised product quality. However, the reality is that... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/solids_handling/testing_and_modeling/10062.html Tue, 1 Jan 2013 0:00:00 EST By integrating two different light sources into a single instrument, this company unites the functionality of both a near infrared and blue particle sizers. The Multiwavelength LUMSizer 65x is designed for the fast characterization of manifold... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/solids_handling/testing_and_modeling/10009.html Sat, 1 Dec 2012 0:00:00 EST The new Zetasizer Nano ZSP is a high-specification dynamic light-scattering system that delivers unique protein-characterization capabilities in a single, easy-to-use instrument. The instrument enables... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/solids_handling/testing_and_modeling/9915.html Thu, 1 Nov 2012 0:00:00 EDT In the chemical process industries (CPI) it is often necessary to verify material specification at various points in the process. In that effort, it is usually impossible — or at the very least impractical — to measure the whole production. Instead, small samples must be extracted from a parent... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/solids_handling/testing_and_modeling/9183.html Sun, 1 Apr 2012 0:00:00 EDT The reliable operation of pumps, compressors, gas turbines, steam turbines and electric motors is critical to many chemical process operations. This article discusses how the use of advanced condition-monitoring techniques and predictive-maintenance strategies can help to improve reliability and reduce downtime for these workhorse units.... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/solids_handling/testing_and_modeling/9073.html Thu, 1 Mar 2012 0:00:00 EST This company has extended its rheometer accessory range to support ultraviolet (UV) curing cell requirements. With common oscillatoric shear methods, it is often difficult to... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/solids_handling/testing_and_modeling/8845.html Sun, 1 Jan 2012 0:00:00 EST Predominantly used in the industrial diamond industry up to now, the ShapeSizer is now being commercialized for a wide range of applications. The new ShapeSizer has a... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/solids_handling/testing_and_modeling/8737.html Thu, 1 Dec 2011 0:00:00 EST With an extended dynamic range that spans 0.1 to 3,500 microns, the Mastersizer 3000 laser-diffraction particle-size analyzer delivers precise wet and dry... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/solids_handling/testing_and_modeling/8677.html Tue, 1 Nov 2011 0:00:00 EDT To confidently design, operate and troubleshoot solids-handling processes, engineers need to characterize powder flow in ways that relate to in-plant behavior. Universal powder testers provide the multi-faceted characterization that is necessary to reliably predict operational performance. This article examines the data that such instruments generate, and discusses their practical application.... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/solids_handling/testing_and_modeling/8540.html Sat, 1 Oct 2011 0:00:00 EDT
