Brewers will often attribute their success to passion, determination and innovation, but once a beer has been developed and branded, it’s all about consistency. Process monitoring therefore has a key role to play. In the following article Keijo Pyörälä from Vaisala will explain how in-line refractometers, located strategically at every stage of the brewing process, enable process optimization, save energy, reduce waste, lower costs and help deliver top quality beer.
Modular components with EHEDG certification for use under harsh conditions
AS-Schneider valves are being successfully used at the Amal oilfield in Oman which uses steam generated at the Miraah solar thermal facility. Steam injection is a common enhanced oil recovery method.
Zero liquid discharge(ZLD) is a waste management technique which transforms liquid waste streams from industrial plants into clean water, which can be reused in the process, and a minimal amount of solid residue, which often include valuable by-products.
When choosing a gas detector for use in water treatment applications, engineers should focus on simple, efficient, proven products for this challenging marketplace.
Durable on/off and control valves for switching and controlling gases, liquids and steam for media pressures up to 25 bar and temperatures up to 230 °C

parts2clean will run from 5 to 7 October in Stuttgart
Devastating water leak drives move to improve sustainability
The Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Circular Plastics Economy CCPE and its Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology UMSICHT have developed an advanced recycling process for used plastics. The pilot project with SABIC and Procter & Gamble serves to demonstrate the feasibility of closed-loop recycling for single-use facemasks.
Easier handling and maintenance through non-combustible and non-toxic refrigerant
The German AMA Association for Sensor and Measurement Technology (AMA) awarded the AMA Innovation Award 2021 to two nominated teams. Due to the pandemic, the award winners were chosen digitally on May 3, 2021.
Contribution to recycling of plastic waste and to increased use of renewable raw materials
The modern employee increasingly works in an agile environment. This also includes the workplace. Here, access to all relevant information and data is necessary when working from home, in the office, in the factory or on the factory premises.
While the wheels of industry need to keep turning to produce the everyday items that we take for granted, there is a growing realization that this cannot be done at the continuing expense of the environment.
Addressing the demand for industry-standard compressed air in pharmaceutical manufacturing while delivering improvements in energy efficiency, sustainability and margin growth.
Plastic waste redirected into production cycles, distinct greenhouse gas reduction with product properties unchanged
Just like cellulose, lignin and fats, proteins are renewable raw materials. Their potential for the chemical industry remains largely untapped. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV want to change that.
Vision can be deployed in a number of different ways on a food processing line to tell if food is safe to eat and meets the quality standards demanded by retailers. Now the kind of hyperspectral technology that NASA has used to study planets and plant life is being applied to the food that ends up on household plates.
For optimal alignment and focus
Restrictions relating to the pandemic are currently affecting all economic sectors and no one knows how long this will last. But one thing is certain: production processes must continue or restart, and interrupted new projects must be resumed as soon as possible.
How can a feed silo or a glass recycling container be transformed into a smart asset? With the battery-operated WILSEN.sonic.level IoT sensor from Pepperl+Fuchs. The autonomous device is connected to the internet via LoRaWAN.
For retrofitting of ball and butterfly valves
Critical drug delivery errors are being driven out of medical practise by advancing intravenous (IV) medication delivery technologies with smart memories and optimised drive mechanisms.
Safety block modules control safety applications directly from the field and thus simplify modular machinery
Innovative high-tech solution for vial filling in isolator
Fair will take place from September 30 to October 1 with changes in format
From a kiln cooling system to silos: the safe and economical transportation of hot materials like clinker is crucial in cement plants. The material can have extremely high temperatures of 500 to 800 degrees Celsius.
The one of the biggest challenges in digitalization is the transformation of existing plants and processes. A WIKA project northern Germany proves that mechanical measuring instruments can also be integrated into the digital world.
Weighing up opportunities and risks for plants of remote maintenance in the digital age is a key challenge for companies in the process industry. But with some preparations you can participate from the positive effects of remote maintenance safely.
