Chesterton
Connect equipment
monitoring sensor
for use in hazardous
environments
Chesterton has released
the equipment monitoring
sensor, Chesterton Connect for
use in hazardous conditions.
This is part of Chesterton's IoT
wireless monitoring product
line, which is certified for use on
equipment and structures that
are in environments with high
pressures, high temperatures
and flammable liquids.
The Chesterton Connect is
rated for Class 1/Division 1 (gas,
vapor environments) and Class 2/
Division 1 (dust environments).
The sensor contains electrical
protection that prevents it from
becoming a source of ignition.
The Connect sensor is
capable of monitoring rotating
equipment such as pumps and
heat exchangers for equipment
vibration, equipment surface
temperature, process pressure and
process temperature. The sensor
communicates through Bluetooth
and sends alerts to the user's app.
Drager released
methane detection
cameras
The MetCam optical gas
detection camera, by Drager,
automatically identifies methane
leaks. This technology can prevent
potentially hazardous gases from
damaging the environment and
disrupting the safety of the plant.
The camera displays a black
and white video image-the gas
gas is colored so that it can be
easily detected-the camera
quantifies the concentration of
the escaping gas. In addition,
this technology automatically
recognizes when the optics are
obscured or dirty to prevent false
alarms. The MetCam self-calibrates
on a set schedule and adapts to
changing weather conditions.
The Lee Company has introduced
new pumps for high-pressure,
high-temperature applications
The Lee Company released a new positive displacement axial piston
pump, which offers increased performance in high-pressure, hightemperature
applications. The HPHT pumps family can generate up to
10,000 psid at temperatures of 400°F. This is ideal for critical hydraulic
fluids transfer applications. The axial piston design does not contain any
elastomers, which increases resistance and improves reliability.
HTHP pumps are designed to be driven by a Maxon Motor and are
qualified for more than 1,000 hr of operation while withstanding high
shock and vibration levels. The pumps are available in 22-mm and
30-mm diameter options. Cylindrical Hi-Bar inlet screens that slide onto
the body of the pump are also available.
Sundyne's HMD Kontro launched complete
fluid containment solution
HMD Kontro's latest magnetic drive seal-less pump solution offers safe transfer of hydrofluoric acid during
the alkylation processes. The technology was developed in collaboration with hydrofluoric acid unit operators
and Honeywell UOP. The HMD Kontro hydrofluoric acid pump is corrosion resistant, contains leak detection,
protection against dry pump running and is safer for people and the environment.
Mechanical seals are challenged in alkylate applications and can leak harmful process fluids. Designed
for resistance against highly corrosive fluids, the HMD Kontro application-specific, seal-less pump ensures
conformity with all environmental health and safety standards, protecting people, plant and the environment
through complete fluid containment.
Technip Energies, Svante to develop CO2
in Europe and the Middle East
Technip Energies and Svante have
entered an MOU to further develop
Svante's solid sorbent carbon capture
technology and provide integrated
solutions from concept to project delivery.
The partnership will explore
opportunities in Europe, the Middle
East and Africa and Russian Federation
markets where Svante's technology would
be selected by end users for industrial
carbon capture projects, including cement
& limestone, blue hydrogen, refineries,
petrochemicals, steel, ammonia and pulp
& paper facilities. The cooperation will
be worldwide for blue hydrogen plants
using Technip Energies' steam methane
reformer technology.
The carbon-capture facilities will use Svante's solid sorbent technology to capture carbon directly from
industrial post-combustion flue gases as a non-intrusive ''end-of-the-pipe'' solution to produce pipeline-grade
CO2
MOL, Vopak to
build Hong Kong's
first LNG import
terminal
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd.
(MOL) and Vopak announced an
agreement has been reached,
whereby Vopak will acquire
49.99% of the shares in the vessel
owning company of MOL FSRU
Challenger, whose name will be
changed to Bauhinia Spirit. This
new JV company between MOL
and Vopak in Hong Kong will own
the world's largest floating storage
and regasification unit (FSRU)
and have a long-term contract
with Hong Kong LNG Terminal
Ltd. The FSRU has a storage
and regasification capacity of
263,000 m3
and 800 MMsft3
d,
respectively. Under the contract,
the JV will provide the FSRU
as well as jetty operations and
maintenance and port services.
The offshore jetty platform for
the mooring of the FSRU and LNG
carriers are owned by Hong Kong
LNG Terminal Ltd.
The terminal is under
construction and is expected to
be operational around mid-2022.
The terminal will be located
offshore about 25 km southwest
of Hong Kong Island and will
provide natural gas feedstock to
the customer's dedicated power
plants. It is being developed
to support the Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region
government's target to improve
air quality and environmental
conditions by increasing the
percentage of power generation
by natural gas.

. Svante's net-zero technology captures CO2, concentrates it, and releases it for safe storage or industrial
use, all in less than 60 sec, by using proprietary active capture nanomaterials called solid sorbent filter.
