Riello RX premix packaged burners are available in outputs up to 3MW, offering NOx levels of less than 40mg/kWh, with high turndown ratios of up to 8:1.
The main differences between traditional pressure jet burners and premix burners relate to the ways in which the air and gas is mixed and in the technology of the combustion head.

In traditional pressure jet burners, the gas and the combustion air are mixed at the point of ignition on the end of the combustion head in the space available in the combustion chamber (diffusive flame).

With economic uncertainty dampening the abilities of businesses to compete in a domestic and global market, energy, maintenance and plant operators are under increasing pressure to reduce operational costs.

A new guide sheds light on the core challenges with traditional boilerhouse energy measurement and areas for improvement.

Authored by Darren Silverthorn, National Controls and Metering Specialist at Spirax Sarco, the new guide aims to support operational management teams by highlighting areas for improvement that could be made to enhance efficiency and reduce the money spent paying for energy.

Companies that want to make the difference, are resolutely drawing the card of optimisation. Improving the performance of your machinery becomes the main objective in any production environment. New technologies and digitisation play a crucial role in this. Especially in maintenance and asset management. With the Asset Performance 4.0 conference and exhibition, BEMAS challenges professionals to explore new horizons. The extensive range of products and services at the exhibition, together with a series of inspiring presentations and workshops, is reason enough to mark 10, 11 and 12 June 2020 in your agenda.

CBM CONNECT® Conference, powered by Mobius Institute, is designed specifically for condition monitoring professionals, maintenance managers and reliability engineers.

CBM CONNECT Conference gets to the meat of what you need to know to do your job better and help your plant run better! Our conference covers key condition monitoring technologies that help you DETECT+DIAGNOSE faults and SOLVE problems. We teach you precision maintenance practices that have a practical application to IMPROVE equipment reliability.

With the recent move into its new purpose-built 22,000 square foot manufacturing facility, Modulift’s Technical Director, Sue Spencer reflects on how the company has changed immeasurably since its humble beginnings in 2002.
The business started its journey in the early days by focusing on selling a new concept of Spreader Beam which moved away from traditional fixed length Spreader Beams that were cumbersome to store and transport and only available to order with long lead times, to a modular lighter-weight design that would be available from stock and easy to store or transport beams in pieces. When I was designing the initial range of sizes up to 110 tonnes capacity, I never imagined the company’s huge success 17 years later.

Sulzer supports leading aroma producer with a unique bio-based vanillin separation unit

Vanilla is one of the most popular and marketed aromas in the world, yet its global shortage is forcing food manufacturers and perfumeries to turn to cheaper, more accessible artificial alternatives. When a leading manufacturer of food, flavor and fragrance ingredients, wanted to boost the sustainability of its production process for synthetic aromas, it turned to Sulzer and its state-of-the-art separation technologies.

The typical vanilla aroma comes from one single compound, vanillin, which is among the world’s most popular plant-derived flavors and fragrances. Its annual worldwide consumption exceeds 18’ 000 tonnes (19’842 tons), yet only 0.25% comes from vanilla pods.

Winn and Coales (Denso) Ltd recently supplied SeaShield™ Systems for the protection of Marine Piles at Douglas Harbour on the Isle of Man.

The initial contract secured by BAM was for the protection of 16 Piles on Berth number 5 and Bam’s sub-contractor, Teignmouth Maritime Services installed the SeaShield 2000FD™ and Seashield 80™ Systems to the piles.

In addition to the original contract, BAM negotiated with the client to install additional protection using the SeaShield 100™ System to Walkway Piles which had been partially protected with the system several years earlier.

The New BD1000 from AirBench helps control coolant problems.

AirBench BD is a self-contained blowdown station for the removal of coolant and swarf from machined parts. An operator can simply place parts in the cabinet, lower the screen, and use the integral blow gun to clean parts using factory compressed air. An integral venturi system assists with capture of coolant and the filter system in the base of the unit is easily replaced when full.

HVAC is important where safe and healthy building conditions are regulated with respect to temperature and humidity.

Labfacility offer the following HVAC kit:

Type K Pipe Clamp Probe x2. This pipe clamp probe is suitable for measuring the surface temperature of pipes in heating and ventilating systems, refrigeration and many other pipe applications.

Velcro Thermocouple Type K. Velcro thermocouples can be used as a quick and simple method of measuring the temperature around the surface of a pipe.
