‘Explosive Atmospheres’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Veolia chooses Eaton's Arcon for switchgear safety from
Eaton Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "EMS has selected a design based on Eaton's Moeller Modan modular switchboard system for a critical application at the Selchp energy recovery plant owned by Veolia Environmental Services.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Smart-Trak mass-flow controller utilised by MBARI from
Sierra Instruments: "The Monterey Bay Research Institute (MBARI) is using Sierra Instruments' mass-flow controllers to discover how increasing atmospheric CO2 levels are affecting marine life in seas. ".
In September 2009, we covered the news from HTMS
- take a look at Resilient metal seals can take the heat
which says: "High Tec Metal Seals (HTMS) designs and manufactures elastic and resilient metal seals for applications with extremes of temperature and pressure.".
Take a look also at the news release from Pump Engineering, 3M pumps have permanent magnet-drive system,
as well as KAC manual call point is LPCB approved from KAC Alarm Company,
and ATI announces explosives and modeling course from Applied Technology Institute.
