Our PrevEx Flammability Analyzers were recently named a  2019 Safety Award winner by exida, the global leader in functional safety and cybersecurity certification.

This week's Chemical E-Book topic highlight is: oxidizer protection.

Measuring flammability at the inlet of the oxidizer will prevent fires, explosions, or catalyst destruction by monitoring the flammability of the incoming VOC stream.

For the next few weeks we're going to deep dive into our Chemical E-Book, our first topic is: Ovens & Dryers.

Many chemical processes involve coating a product with a flammable solvent or mixture of solvents and then run through an oven to dry the solvents. At this point an explosive level of vapors is possible and needs to be monitored.

Control Instruments was featured in a cover story article & digital report from Global Manufacturing Magazine.

The magazine, in conjunction with Transcontinental Advanced Coatings, spoke about their operations and showcased their on-going success and developments in regards to their Factory of the Future Innovations, along with their ‘Manufacturing Best Practices' which highlighted our LFL/LEL Analyzers.

Every year excessive increases in LFL levels result in severe plant damage, extended downtime, injuries and even death to personnel. Using the correct analyzer to monitor the LFL level in the process can greatly reduce these risks. Compliance with standards and insurance requirements is also a concern that can be addressed with the right analyzer.
