Calibration is an essential element of any instrumentation maintenance program. However, calibration operations can be long and time-consuming. By using the Beamex

A new condensate separator, introduced by Condensate Systems Ltd, puts environmental compliance within the financial reach of all compressor users. The Sepura range represents a radically new approach to separator design, from a company with many years

JOHN CRANE Safematic has launched an enhanced version of its Safeunit seal water control system that has already been proven to increase the reliability of pumpg and process machinery while reducing water consumption levels by up to 80%.

The new Safeunit Ultima is designed for use in harsh operating environments where high temperature, high pressure and chemically aggressive elements are present.

This makes it ideal for extreme applications found in pulp, paper and chemical industry processes, plus a wide variety of mining and general industrial uses.

Predictive maintenance (PdM) techniques are commonly used on motors and drives. But how often is the power to the equipment inspected? Adding basic power quality measurements to equipment maintenance procedures can head off unexpected failures in both the equipment and the power system.

Cost savings
Insurance claims data in the NFPA 70B maintenance standard show that roughly half of the cost associated with electrical failures could be prevented by regular maintenance. A study published in IEEE 493-1997 says that a poorly maintained system can attribute 49 percent of its failures to lack of maintenance.

To determine the cost of a failure, it helps to consider three key categories:

Thermo Tracer TH9260 offers a complete solution to high resolution predictive maintenance diagnostics and scientific research.

The Thermo Tracer TH9260 series offers a complete solution to users by offering a hand-held infrared camera that easily adapts to different applications without the need for purchasing specialised units. The Thermo Tracer TH9260 gives total portability with a compact, rugged, light weight, and cableless casing suits the PM and building markets, while features like FIREWIRE real time data capture, 1.3mega pixel digital image, composite image, laser pointer, high resolution close up lenses, built in alarm functions all suit the more complex applications. A complete range of software packages and accessories make the Thermo Tracer series a flexible solution with total upgradeability for the future.

The Thermo Tracer TH9260 uses the latest generation of high resolution uncooled microbolometer detector to achieve an exceptional thermal resolution of 0.06

Earlier in 2007, Byworth Boilers announced the launch of their new fuel efficient steam boiler.  It was claimed that the Byworth Yorkshireman2 steam boiler is the most fuel efficient boiler of its type due not only to unique XiD boiler tube, but by the quality and integrity of design and engineering.  Fuel savings will vary according to the efficiency of the existing boilers, but can be between 2 and 20%.

With Gas prices predicted to rise yet again during 2008, many forward thinking companies have averted the impact of this increase by investing in this latest boiler technology.  A leading mushroom producer in Lancashire, Drinkwater Mushrooms, not only purchased his sixth Byworth boiler to keep up with spiralling expansion, but purchased the first Yorkshireman2. So impressed were they by the significant reduction in fuel oil usage and the rear end temperature (over 40degC lower than similar boilers) that discussions are taking place regarding a second installation.
