organisers anticipate similar participant figures as for 2012, when around 3,800 exhibitors and 167,000 participants flocked to the exhibition grounds. Every three years the world’s major fair for the process industries attracts exhibitors from over 50 countries to present new products, processes and services to professionals from all over the world.


The spectrum ranges from


laboratory equipment, pumps and analytical devices to packaging machinery, boilers and stirrers through to safety technology, materials and software, thus covering the entire needs of the chemical, pharmaceutical

Electrically heated hoses and lines


H


eated analysis hoses and tube systems from


Hillesheim are designed for conducting gaseous and fluid media from A to B at high temperatures.


Heating hoses prevent


the medium’s temperature from dropping below the dew point, its cooling or its solidification between the extraction point and the analysis device or the consuming unit at the end of the heated line. Appropriate Hillesheim heating hose systems are available for different applications. Standard sizes available are diameters of 4-10mm in lengths from 0.5 to 100m.


The company says that custom configurations to customer specifications are also available.


The quality of the products is


continuously monitored by Hillesheim with its quality assurance (QA) system. Hillesheim’s heating lines have been

These include: power plant combustion systems; exhaust gas monitoring; water analysis; air testing; and solid waste incineration.


The lines are in use at petrochemical facilities, refineries, motor test stands and at technical inspection agencies (T¨ÜV). n

eaking Pressure Relief Valves (PRV) are known as a significant source of rouge emissions and


product wastage, not forgetting that leakages are a safety concern for site and 3rd party personnel.


Operating companies have increased their routine valve maintenance regimes, wasted time and money trying to perfect leak monitoring systems to identify the leaks all of which fail to solve the problem, these valves will still leak! A solution is to use the REMBE KUB Bursting Disc to isolate the PSV, resulting in Zero leakage through PRVs.


By isolating the PSV from the process with this Bursting Disc the valve is now 100% leak-proof and this also allows for PSV testing in-situ, no downtime for routine PSV pop testing.


Once the bursting disc is installed, KUB needs no further maintenance or adjustments. n
