Optical sensor used for greenhouse gas detection
An optical sensor is being used with the satellite Hugo to detect greenhouse gas emissions from outer space.
Vertical pump efficiency and reliability
By optimizing performance and efficiency in these important pumps, operating and maintenance costs for vertical suspended pumps can be reduced.
Using IIoT for a more energy-efficient pump environment
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) case study shows how to use pump power measurements to save energy using sensors enabled by wireless gateway and cloud-based analytics. Secure and relatively simple technologies were used; see eight project guidelines.
Method finds hidden warning signals in collected measurements
A deep-learning algorithm has been developed that could provide advanced notice when systems — from satellites to data centers — are falling out of whack.
Flowmeter testing, calibration has many challenges
There are several challenges of testing and calibrating flowmeters used in high pressure and high temperature applications.
Technology for legacy pumps developed
Every industrial process delivers benefits for people around the world and nearly all of them involve a pumping operation at some point and keeping these essential assets operational is an important task.
Refinery pump retrofit boosts output
Crude oil refineries need to meet productivity targets just like any other process industry, but increasing output represents a considerable challenge and will nearly always require changes in pump performance.
Squeeze-twist coupling material strengthens actuators
University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers have made an asymmetric material that twists, which could help advance actuator technology.
Process instrumentation tips and tricks
Advances in process instrumentation extend beyond sensor accuracy. Computing, algorithms and networking capabilities add functionality.
IoT condition monitoring in the process industry
Industrial customers require insights into the behavior of their assets to proactively plan maintenance across their production facilities.
