All purging and pressurization systems require a pressure relief vent as dictated by the standards for this protection method. This technical white paper will explain why a pressure relief vent is required and how to select the proper vent from the numerous options available.

The paper covers advanced diagnostic surge protection devices specifically designed for fieldbus networks. It explains the methodology that supports fieldbus network integrity beyond the current offerings. A case study shows the significant reductions in operational expenditure when using a fully diagnostic fieldbus surge protection system. (March 2013, 1.31 MB)

Remote desktop protocols make efficient use of the client-server architecture. A remote monitor is the only hardware required to interface with local and remote processes. The client server model affords many obvious benefits but the largest of these benefits is the ease of maintenance
and accessibility. (February 2012, 564 KB)

The United States has enough coal to provide energy for the next 200 years with a recoverable reserve base of nearly 475 billion tons. Care must be taken to reduce the environmental impact of coal mining and coal energy conversion. This white paper explores the process of coal gasification, which alleviates many of the environmental concerns of coal-fired power plants. (November, 2011 1.09 MB)

The 6000 series purge and pressurization system has several major feature enhancements. Firmware version EPCU 3.10/ UIC 2.02 will function identically to previous versions and is backwards compatible. This paper explains the major updates. The user can more efficiently use the 6000 purge and pressurization system and outline the new temperature control products. (July 2010, 2.68 MB)

Process plants are striving now more than ever to reduce operational expenditures while increasing productivity and efficiency. Today’s process engineers place a tremendous amount of emphasis on system integrity requirements. Why? Because it’s a variable that can be controlled when the right equipment is in place.
