Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is widely used by municipal water treatment plants Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is an effective water disinfectant to treat the raw, filtered water before distribution. But sodium hypochlorite can be an unstable solution when exposed to heat and light, that needs to be stored in tightly closed containers and kept in a cool […]
An MCRT® torquemeter must be installed properly as an integral part of a drive line network in order to achieve satisfactory operation. Proper installation will: a) transmit the desired torque load, b) compensate for misalignments in drive line components, and c) not introduce undesirable loading into the torquemeter shaft. Optimum installation must therefore address several […]
A pioneering biogas company located in central Quebec embarked on an ambitious plan to transform its business model by leveraging advanced technologies, adding new recovery processes, and increasing its on-site treatment capacity.

An emission control system was being redesigned by Orbital Engineering, Inc. to incorporate Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) fan systems to improve system efficiency in light of rising process demands. The existing design consisted of two 7,500 hp (5,600 kW) damper-controlled fans, two baghouses, and two spray dryer absorbers. When the system was constructed, one of […]
During almost 80 years of service, strain gages have proven to be remarkably accurate and reliable mechanical load sensors. They now dominate weighing including static, dynamic, precision and legal for sale applications. They are also used in the vast majority of precision torque sensors. All Himmelstein torque sensors are strain gage based. The simplest torque […]
Background The recreation complex on the Newham campus of Seneca College, known as ‘the sports center’ was first opened in 1972. As part of an upgrade to the heating system, two new boiler pumps were installed in 2009. Two years later as part of an initiative to extend the installed base of Design Envelope pumps, […]
