NEW PRODUCTS
Batch Chemical Reactor
Simulation Software
French company ProSim, which provides process
simulation and optimization software to the process
industries, released a new version of BatchReactor,
its software for batch chemical reactors simulation.
The new software combines detailed equipment
modeling, reaction engineering, and advanced
numerical methods to create a state-of-the art
simulation environment for chemists and chemical
engineers, providing a complete understanding of
the production recipe. BatchReactor enables tests
of alternative synthesis routes and new production
strategies through effective use of simulation in
parallel with lab and pilot plant experimentations.

High-Performance Air Pressure Regulator Series
The Precision Controls Division of Marsh Bellofram Corp. launched the Type 41
high-performance air pressure regulator series, which is designed to support
a variety of demanding industrial and original equipment manufacturer flowmonitoring
requirements. Available in two different packages with identical
performance characteristics, both with ¼-inch NPT BSPT port size, the Type
41 incorporates a patented Bellofram rolling diaphragm for greater sensitivity,
improved accuracy, low-friction operation, and extended useful service life,
all in a compact size. The Type 41 incorporates precision die-cast aluminum
housings finished with scratch- and weather-resistant vinyl paint to increase
resistance to harsh environmental conditions. Units are pressure- and
chromate-treated for internal corrosion resistance. A rubberized, soft-seat
valve stem provides stability and " forgives " dirt and other foreign matter. An
aspirator maintains downstream pressure and compensates for droop when
high flow occurs. The gauge port is convenient for installation and can also
be used as an additional full-flow outlet. Users can select from among pipe,
panel, or bracket mounting options. (www.marshbellofram.com)
Capacitive Accelerometer Modules
Silicon Designs, a designer and manufacturer of rugged industrial-grade microelectromechanical
systems (MEMS) capacitive accelerometer chips and modules, has introduced a ±5 g model to
its 2210 accelerometer series. The low-noise, single-axis model 2210-005 accelerometer module
incorporates high-quality MEMS capacitive sensing elements. Sensing elements are packaged within
a compact, lightweight, anodized epoxy-sealed aluminum housing, occupying a total footprint
of just 1 square inch. The accelerometers feature a simple four-wire connection and internal
voltage regulator to minimize supply voltage variation effects. Units are relatively insensitive to
temperature changes and feature quick, easy self-calibration. (www.silicondesigns.com).
