Cyclone Separator Offers High Efficiency and Very Low
Differential Pressure Drop
The DF-C Cyclone Separator offers higher efficiency
than previous models at low pressure drop. Cyclone
separators are used at the front-end of the purifica-tion chain within compressed air systems. They are
easy-to-operate, reliable and maintenance-free. The
DF-C series optimal flow-path design reduces differential pressure drop to lower energy consumption
and expense. The air flow generated by the centrifugal forces of the new DF-C range leads to a more
effective separation of liquid and solid contaminants
from the compressed air. For more information

There is no way to completely prevent fires in
thermal fluid systems because the major components required — fuel, air and an ignition source
— are always present by design. But it can be
minimized. Download this free white paper from

Multi-Phase Biofilter for VOC
Control
The Multi-Phase BioSystem incorporates
both air-phase ad liquid-phase
approaches, taking advantage of the
natural tendency of VOCs to partition
into both phases. For more information

Corus,
Europe’s
second
largest steel
producer, is
doing its part
to reduce the
world’s secondary carbon footprint,
by improving the energy efficiency of
their manufacturing processes. One
part of this process was to replace multiple air pollution control systems with
one regenerative thermal oxidizer to
control volatile organic compounds and
hazardous air pollutants. To read this

Today, with the
evolution and invention of new sensing
technologies and the
continued advances
in integrated circuits,
the relative size of
level measurement
sensors has
decreased dramatically. But is this a
good thing? Level measurement expert
Joe Lewis, managing director of
BlueLevel Technologies, Inc., specifically
examines capacitive proximity switches
in his exclusive guest column. To read

Chain Drives, Conveyor Pulleys for Wastewater
Company manufactures chain drives
and heavy-duty conveyor pulleys for
the wastewater treatment industry.
Company also manufactures non-metallic drive components, such as
78 and 720 series sprockets, and
shear pin assemblies, as well as,
other plastic items used in wastewater treatment. Non-metallic components provide substantially longer-wear in corrosive environments, equaling greater cost savings. For more
