For petrochemical sampling, safety is first in sampler design

In the petrochemical industry, representative samples of liquid petroleum gas and other high vapor pressure gases and liquids are needed for process monitoring, quality control and regulatory compliance. However, in this industry, process fluids and gases are volatile or could be harmful to the operator and the environment, or they could be dangerously altered through a chemical reaction when exposed to the atmosphere – so exposure must be avoided. Read more here.

Ways ISOLOK samplers help treatment plants automate messy job

A wastewater treatment plant treats sewage or industrial wastewater before discharging it. The majority of wastewater treatment plant costs – around 70 percent – are related to solids removal from the plant, as most plants need to pay to have them trucked away. With this high cost, solids ratios must be known and effectively controlled. Automatic representative sampling provides the most reliable composite of solids and liquids. Read more here.

Three case studies: Samplers meet needs of food & dairy processing customers

Sampling in food and dairy processing is critical to ensure process control, product quality and food safety. Sampling methods must be consistent, accurate and repeatable to ensure a representative sample and reliable sample analysis results. The sampling system must be suitable for the application – and can be custom designed or modified to meet customer needs, as illustrated in the following case studies. Read more here.

How power plants can save valuable time, resources

More and more, power plants must cycle to fill in gaps caused by disruptive power generation and in response to the need to bid on and dispatch electricity at certain times in the competitive marketplace. Each time a plant cycles, operators, chemical technicians, corporate chemists and instrument technicians can spend many hours each day adjusting sample flows – valuable resources and time that could be better spent focusing on plant operations. Wouldn’t there be a huge savings of time and money if this process could be automated with the press of a button?
Now it can be. Read more here.
