Getting a Fast Response Time in Pulp Mills

December 1, 2017

Using an analyzer with high sampling speed dramatically improves response time - an important factor in pulp mill applications. 

The environment of the vent pipe that carries the Total Reduced Sulfur compounds (TRS) is dirty and humid. Most gas sensors are quickly impaired by these conditions, leading to unreliable readings.

Because most sensors can only operate at ambient, as opposed to process temperatures, they are positioned far away from incinerators, using a snaking pipe arrangement and pumps to cool samples. 

Thankful for YOU

Thanksgiving is not something you feel for one day… it is an attitude you carry with you all year long. What are you thankful for? Make it a goal to think of one thing to be truly thankful for each and every day. 

All of us at Control Instruments are thankful for YOU. We value your patronage & loyalty and appreciate your confidence in us. May your home be filled with the laughter of friends, the love of family, and the joys of the season. 

Happy Thanksgiving...celebrate Safely!

Straight-Through Flow Design Ideal for TRS Mist Samples

November 17, 2017

Flammable non-condensible gases (NCG’s), usually referred to as Total Reduced Sulfur compounds (TRS) or Dilute Vent Gases, are byproducts of the wood pulping process. These gases, mostly sulfurous, are extremely malodorous and flammable. 

Health and pollution regulations prohibit the release of these gases into the atmosphere. They are usually eliminated by passing them through an incinerator or by using them as fuel in the burner of a boiler or kiln.

Problems in Pulp & Paper Mills

Manufacturing Day 2017

October 6, 2017

Happy MFG DAY 2017!!

Manufacturing Day is an annual celebration of modern manufacturing during which manufacturers invite their communities — including students, educators, businesspeople, media, and politicians — to their facilities in a collective effort to educate visitors about manufacturing career opportunities and improve public perceptions of manufacturing. Started in 2012, MFG DAY has seen participation grow dramatically over the years.

Rugged Durable Construction in Wastewater Treatment

September 28, 2017

Last week we talked about the 3 Key Challenges of Monitoring in Wastewater Treatment. Let's address the first one:

  1. High moisture and humidity can promote corrosion, contamination and clogging that can lead to unreliable readings.

How can the right monitoring system combat these issues? Heat & a simple flow system.

Key Challenges of Monitoring in Wastewater Treatment

September 22, 2017

Publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) collect wastewater from municipal, commercial and industrial facilities, transport it through a series of contributor pipes, known as a collection system, and deliver it to the treatment plant.

Regulations prohibit these facilities from discharging flammable or explosive wastes from their processes into the liquid collection system. In addition to fire and explosion hazards, these wastes can affect the efficient and effective operation of the treatment facility.
