C005 – Best & Worst of Flare Gas

Flare measurement is one of the most challenging types of gas flow measurement in the industry. With increased scrutiny from environmental regulators and operational emphasis on plant balance and leak detection, accurate flare measurement has become more critical for facilities.

Join Tom Pugliese of Fluenta as he outlines the unique challenges associated with flare gas measurement and the best practices for measurement technologies, as well as the design of these systems.

C013 – Industrial Frontiers in Process Raman Spectroscopy

This course, taught by Jeremy Linoski of Kaiser Optical, will present customer examples highlighting the use of Raman spectroscopy to measure, understand and control manufacturing processes.

In one example, Linoski will showcase how a hybrid sampling approach improves understanding

There are a few different kinds of technologies available to measure the level of bulk solids in storage silos. Guided wave radar (GWR), ultrasonic and pulse radar are time-of-flight (TOF) technologies used to detect level by measuring the time it takes for a microwave or ultrasonic signal to be sent, reflect from the surface of the material being measured, and return to the instrument.

A GWR has a guide rod or cable that the radar signal travels down, allowing for greater efficiency and less interaction with intrusions or dust. GWR is more efficient than a radar signal when comparing signal transmission with installation concerns.

Ultrasonic sensors send a sonic pulse to the surface of solids in a silo, while measuring the TOF for the reflected signal to determine level. These sensors can be installed in tight places due to the relatively small size of the sensor

Future technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and edge computing offer immense opportunities for the discrete and process industries because they enhance new business models and productivity potential. From machines autonomously detecting when they need spare parts to production systems that run their own quality control during operation, reducing inspection outlays, these future technologies ensure industrial companies remain competitive.

Data is the foundation for future technologies and, luckily, are becoming more available thanks to the digital transformation of industry.

AI isn’t especially new, but it’s definitely made a lot of progress. So much so that computing power has increased exponentially; algorithms are much better; hardware in factory halls performs better; and data transfer has advanced tremendously. This all means that the rising volume of available data can be collected and

As you may already know, this year is Eastern Controls’ 50th Anniversary! In celebration, we wanted to share some notable parts of our history with you throughout the year. In the third and final part of “The Early Days of ECI”, we’ll discuss the most recent events since the turn of the millennium!

The turn of the century brought many new opportunities for ECI. From new manufacturing partners, to facility upgrades, to unprecedented expansion, the 2000s have proven to be the most transformative time period in ECI’s history so far!

It all started in 2001 when ECI began a partnership with PBM Valves, Inc. providing solutions and support for their line of ball valves.

In 2008, we updated our two MARC (Masoneilan Authorized Repair Control Centers) and ValvFast facilities to maintain our status as one of the largest ValvFast Control Valve manufacturing centers in the United States. Shortly afterward, Masoneilan

ISPE (International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering) Delaware Valley Chapter is hosting their 29th annual Exhibition and Symposium on May 16th. Located at the home of the Philadelphia Eagles, the Lincoln Financial Field, ISPE’s Exhibition and Symposium continues to grow year after year.

The main goal of the event is to add value for ISPE members and event attendees in the form of educational opportunities, a career fair, an academic pathway to the society and plenty of networking opportunities.

The event includes:

– An Exhibition Hall, free to attend

– A Career Fair

– Exhibition Demonstration Stage

– Networking Party

– Free Stadium Tours

The Keynote Speaker is Federico Mingozzi, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at Spark Therapeutics. Mingozzi brings two decades of experience in gene therapy, immunology, biochemistry and
