Energy, the Environment & Water 40 ESABWELDING AND CUTTING PRODUCTS reports it showcased live demonstrations of new, improved and industry-leading filler metals at the recent Schweissen & Schneiden tradeshow in Düsseldorf, Germany and says three new and improved filler metals made their debut at the show including PURUS™ 42, a next- generation alloyed solid wire that can reduce post- weld cleaning time and unplanned downtime for removing silica islands in multi-pass welding and reduce or eliminate downtime associated with spatter. OK Flux 10.62 (Advanced Slag Release) for Submerged Arc Welding (SAW). This high basicity, neutral, agglomerated flux has been upgraded and now is especially suited for narrow gap welding because of its good slag detachability, concave weld bead profile and smooth sidewall blending. Due to its high grain strength, this improved flux can be recycled and reused more times. t| 0800 3893152 e| info@esab.co.uk Environmental monitoring expert, CASTLE GROUP, says it has recently added to its equipment rental department by bringing in three new meters for measuring electromagnetic fields. The company says in industries which use powerful equipment, managers may not have sufficient information to determine whether health effects AL’s (Action Levels set by the HSE in The Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations 2016) are exceeded. Simon Bull, MD, said,“Equipment to measure electromagnetic field radiation can be hugely expensive to buy, especially when considering the cost of calibration over time. This, doubled with the fact that most industries would only ever need to carry out assessments infrequently, makes rental a very viable solution. All the equipment we hire is supplied fully calibrated and arrives at our customers with everything needed”. t| 01723 584250 e| sales@castlegroup.co.uk w| www.castlerent.co.uk Electromagnetic safety | Plant &Works Engineering | November 2017 More cleanroomwork To meet conductivity control needs in online water quality and process applications, SENSOREX says it has introduced the Sensorex SensoPro Toroidal Conductivity Monitoring System. The company says the system combines a Sensorex TCS3020 probe, capable of reliable conductivity measurements in even the harshest of environments, with the company’s new EX2000RS transmitter, featuring Modbus communication for robust system integration. Sensorex says monitoring with SensoPro can prevent scaling and corrosion, reduce excessive water usage, and optimise processes in a range of applications including cooling tower water control, wastewater treatment, brine analysis, desalination, chemical processing, and other harsh or high conductivity environments. The TCS3020 probe used in the SensoPro system measures conductivity using toroidal sensing technology, which is said to be more stable and reliable compared to traditional contacting conductivity sensors. t| +1.714.895.4344 e| info@sensorex.com w| www.sensorex.com Conductivity monitoring system HART DOOR SYSTEMS reports it is installing a number of Speedor Cleanrooms for a major Midlands-based company that specialises in fuel containment systems, sealing solutions and advanced composites. The order was placed by a third party company which provides a full building solution service for its clients.Peter Cairns, sales executive for Hart in the Midlands says:“Speedor Cleanroom is ideally suited to environments where strict air leakage requirements are required and air pressure differentials need to be maintained. This is especially vital for processes where required hygiene standards are exceptional. As a result the door system is designed to work in strictly controlled environmental areas.” t| 0191 214 0404 w| www.hartdoors.com Filler metal solutions Following a fault at a unit in American Pan UK’s original process line; solvent used for the cleaning process overheated and ignited, with the subsequent fire spreading throughout the facility. While initially devastating, it provided an opportunity for American Pan and RE Architects to completely re- think operations and re-design process lines. Because of the fire, American Pan couldn’t easily bring its processes back online so it decided to reappoint a warehouse to a new process line. And because it was an all-new line, it could design a layout that would future-proof and enhance the cleaning process. FULTON says its solution features a horizontal, gas- fired RBC1500 steam boiler with fully-modulating burner and automatic boiler controls, skid-mounted with blowdown vessel, condensate return and feed tank and water treatment including water softener, chemical dosage sets and sample cooler. Commenting, RE Architect’s Richard Every says: “Fulton’s system doesn’t require 24/7 supervision/monitoring so can be left un-attended but operational for periods of time. This is vital for the processes as it can take a long time to heat cleaning solvents/fluids from cold.” Fulton says thanks to its efficient system, American Pan has reduced the acidity content of its cleaning solution and increased the performance from the solvent. Pans now get a deeper clean, are treated faster and, when combined with the company’s proprietary coatings, don’t carbonise in the bakery as quickly. t| 0117 972 3322 e| sales@fulton.co.uk w| www.fulton.co.uk Heat transfer system
