Multiple industries rely on process pumps for handling a variety of substances, such as solvents. One of the primary obstacles is keeping them contained within the pump and the associated systems. While solvents are not simple substances to process, there is one pump technology capable of handling them seamlessly. This article looks at sliding vane pumps and why they are one of the best-suited process technologies for solvents.

Unplanned downtime causes significant losses to a company. With an estimated price tag of $50 billion annually, there is a serious effort that, rightfully, goes into preventing unscheduled failures. Digital transformation can open the gates to unprecedented reductions in unplanned downtime.

High-speed planting methods have fueled demand for seed-flow lubricants. These formulations improve seed planting by reducing static electricity and/or moisture that causes the seeds to 'bridge'.

When a global producer of industrial coating resins and additives sought to upgrade its aging Distributed Control System (DCS), the solution involved utilizing a flexible, reliable, modern DCS that could be quickly integrated with existing production.

It can sometimes feel like fluids are a bottleneck, restricting production performance. Often the answer won’t lie in costly chemical alterations to the fluid itself, but simply a better understanding and control of the factors affecting performance.

A main theme at the ACS was sustainability and the circular economy. This article provides a snapshot of just some of the technology that PCI learned about.

New online measuring technology can detect nearly any change in liquid properties straight from the process in real-time. The novel technology has the potential to revolutionize liquid quality control, since it enables continuous process monitoring and is universally suitable for all fluids, from thin to thick.
