Metso Low Solids Measurement

It enables measurement of a media with very low solids contents in difficult applications like centrifuge centrate. The technology also offers significant savings per centrifuge in polymer and centrifuge usage. Until now, there has not been any online measurement technology available that would enable reliable measurement of a media with very low solids contents in this measurement position.

The Metso Low Solids Measurement system is based on LED and laser technology. It dearates, filters, and measures the process solids along with possessing self-cleaning capabilities to keep the measurement optics clean for continued accurate measurement.

The Rationale Behind Valve Characteristics

Back in the “early days,” we were taught that, to properly control flow, we should select a linear valve characteristic when the valve controls more than 25% of the piping system pressure drop at full flow.
Solenoid Valves: Direct Acting vs. Pilot-Operated

While presenting in a recent VMA Valve Basics 101 Course in Houston, I found myself in a familiar role: explaining solenoid valves (SOVs) to attendees. (I work with solenoids so much that one VMA member at that conference joked that I needed to be wearing an I Heart Solenoids t-shirt). During the hands-on “petting zoo” portion of the program, which involves smaller groups of attendees, one of the most frequently asked questions I get from people came up: What’s the difference between direct-acting and pilot-operated SOVs, and how do we make a choice?
