WATLOW SHOWCASED THEIR EXTENSIVE CAPABILITIES IN ELECTRIFYING THE THERMAL LOOP AT CHEMUK 2025


Watlow drew signicant attention to their innovative solutions, aimed at enhancing efciency and sustainability in the chemical industry


optimises thermal processes using advanced controls and data management. This platform includes heaters, sensors, controllers, power management systems, and data recorders, working in unison for real-time data processing and machine learning. Their integrated approach supports thermal process electrication, reducing energy consumption, lowering carbon emissions, and improving


W


ith over a century of experience, Watlow’s integrated thermal loop strategy, driven by the EPM™ platform,


product quality across various applications. High efciency and optimised output in chemical production requires precise power control. The EPower™ Advanced SCR Power Controller (pictured) delivers exceptional performance for various heating applications. With a feature set designed to provide high power and high accuracy, these power controllers ensure uniform heat distribution, fast recovery, and compensate for heater degradation, crucial for maintaining consistent chemical processes. They also log power, energy, and voltage levels, alerting operators to potential issues to ensure smooth operation. Effective thermal management is vital for successful heating in the chemical industry. Watlow’s comprehensive solutions include innovative heaters like FIREROD™ and OPTIMAX™ heat exchangers, designed with advanced features for high watt density, compact size, and improved safety. Combined with their power controllers, these heaters create an optimised heating environment meeting rigorous industry standards. Electric heating offers advantages over gas-


red systems, including reduced emissions and improved controllability. Watlow’s electric heaters are more compact, efcient, and provide precise control over the heating process. While non- electric heatersmayhave lower initial costs, electric heating provides long-term benets such as lower operational costs and compliance with environmental regulations, making it a more sustainable choice.

ECO PHYSICS nCLD "Facelift" boxed solutions nCLD 844 CMhr in beverage applications


Measurement of: NO, NOX, NH3


Nitrogen oxides are contaminants in beverage-grade CO2, emerging from raw gas sources or during CO2 production. Their presence, even at very low concentrations, can lead to off-flavors, chemical instability, and potential health risks. Modern analyt- ical systems, such as the nCLD800 series are capable of detecting trace impurities in CO2. Depending on the configuration, this can include the detection of NO, NO2 or NH3, at extremely low levels. This allows beverage producers to continuously moni- tor the purity of CO2 and take corrective actions if contamination is detected, thereby protecting both consumers and brand reputation. For example, the Coca Cola pro- duction facility in Ghent, Belgium utilizes ECO PHYSICS CLD and nCLD844CMhr.
