Industrial sampling is much more than the sum of its parts

Samplers used in oil and gas refineries and chemical or petrochemical plants must be specifically designed for the industry’s unique application needs. However, many plants use samplers cobbled together from older pieces and parts that may not be suitable, rather than using samplers or sampling panels proven in the refinery, chemical and petrochemical environments. This can mean a sampling operation that is ineffective, or worse, unsafe. Read more here.

Better sampling specs = better safety

The chief concern in sampling is protecting the safety of the environment, and especially the operators involved in the sampling process.

Best practices and regulation of processed foods requires representative sampling and accurate analysis. Read more here.

New magnetic trap alleviates combined cycle power plant’s iron issue

Water within a power plant must be sampled to meet regulations, and most particulates must remain within the system so they can provide a representative sample. Yet, magnetite particles cause jamming and plugging of sampling and conditioning components and must be removed. A new solution - the magnetic trap - does just that. Read more here.
