Pioneering the future of Process Analysis
PII Podcast
"Sensors are great, but they have their limitations" - that’s where analysers come in! In this episode, Paul Hamilton from Metrohm discusses simple and innovative ways for Process Engineers to perform complex chemical analysis. Metrohm is best known for producing analytical laboratory hardware and software, but Paul explains how the process analysis side of the business brings all of the typical laboratory analysis techniques and integrates them into the process plant, producing lab-quality data in the plant, fully automated. Compared to some other countries, the UK is behind when it comes...

Radial Insert Ball Bearings technology
PII Podcast
For machines in the food industry, you need special solutions. Extreme temperatures, high mechanical loads, short cycle times, round-the-clock operation, and regular cleaning cycles require very robust components. Strict food safety regulations pose as much of a challenge here as efficiency and sustainability. Whether it’s for process automation in food production, for beverage production or the packaging industry, in all cases you need food-compatible rolling bearings, plain bearings, and linear guidance systems as well as adapted lubrication and seal concepts. Even during the planning...

How interface measurement could transform your business
PII Podcast
In this episode of the PII Podcast, we delve into the world of interface level measurement, concentrating on those difficult multiphase applications with dynamic emulsion layers. The key to optimising performance in these situations is solving the emulsion factor – a hurdle that has long stood in the way of accurate and economical level detection. Traditionally, no single technology has been able to economically measure the total hydrocarbon level, the top of the emulsion (where water mixes into oil), and the bottom of the emulsion layer, (where oil mixes into water). This...

Cote-Shield Technology
PII Podcast
AMETEK Drexelbrook's "Cote-Shield" technology revolutionises point level detection in tanks and vessels by effectively ignoring conductive coatings on the sensing element, ensuring a reliable, repeatable measurement and maintenance-free operation. This technology overcomes the common issue of false alarms caused by process coating buildup that can cause false alarms potentially interrupting the critical process and costing loss in profits. Cote-Shield addresses this issue by introducing a three-terminal style probe design that incorporates a Cote-Shield element, that ignores process coating...

The importance of having an accurate and reliable calibration solution
PII Podcast
In this podcast from Beamex, we talk about the importance of providing accurate measurements, reliable data and traceability when performing instrument calibrations. We’ll explore how the digitalisation of data helps to improve operational efficiency for optimal asset performance, with examples of industries where calibration occurs, particularly looking at how National Grid has been able to reduce costs and improve efficiency of their calibration processes.
info_outlineRecipe control is a very specialist field that applies to a wide range of industry sectors. The data collected by a well designed recipe handling process control system can give deep insights into all aspects of production.
Recipe control can also function as a quality control method or more accurately risk control when the product being made has to meet defined standards and need to be as reliable as possible for incorporation in to end user's finished products.
In this podcast Charles Williams discusses recipe control from his experience in multiple industries. Charles is second generation in Promtek Ltd, a family owned business in the heart of Stoke on Trent.
Trusting the data in your recipe control system is one of the most important steps you can take to unlock the potential to improve efficiency, sustainability and quality control for your production facilities.
