Process Lighting and Visual Control Systems. Sight Glass for industrial process observation
Sight Glass lights, Explosion Proof (Ex) and Non-Explosion proof lights.
Ex-camera’s are explosion proof for explosive areas. Ex-camera variants with zoom lens can also be operated by remote control from a control room in a non-ex area (non explosive zone). The observer can thus adjust the camera settings to meet specific requirements. Insight with far-sight: control and remote monitoring of operations in explosive-hazardous and non-explosive…
With new breweries and brewpubs popping up by the day, the competition to find quality brewers is fierce. One of the first things to do was to do some research with experienced brewers. “I knew going into this project quality beer was going to be key, as obvious as it sounds,” “I didn’t want an…
While national regulations exist in some countries, there is an urgent need for an international approach to curb explosion-related industrial accidents wherever workers and communities are exposed explosion risk All workers in hazardous locations must be declared competent to express their opinions in compliance with the Electrical Machinery Regulation (EMR). Human error or incompetency has…
ATEX is a commonly used synonym for the ATEX directives of the European Union. The name is derived from the French term “ATmosphère EXplosible”. Here is an explanation of ATEX and IECEx standards, markings, classification, directive and different zones. ATEX products are differentiated from standard products by their markings, most noticeably the recognized Ex symbol.…

Say green energy, and the first words that spring to most minds are likely either solar power or wind power. But there’s another important player in the alternative energy marketplace─biogas generation. Biogas is produced when organic matter breaks down in the absence of oxygen. It’s produced by anaerobic digestion by bacteria or fermentation of biodegradable…
A Reminder About the Benefits Of LEDs LEDs can successfully replace metal halide, high-pressure sodium, HID, and outdated fluorescent lamps. Because LEDs don’t need ballasts, they can minimize fire hazards and the environmental impacts and disposal costs for industrial facilities. It’s important to remember that initial lighting fixture costs are only part of the total…
The lighting used to illuminate the interiors of process vessels has been dominated by halogen luminaires for decades. In recent years brighter LED luminaires have emerged that are causing process experts to re-assess their vessel lighting needs. What is the ideal level of brightness? What is the relationship between brightness and the size of the…
Experts in the $738 billion food and beverage manufacturing industry know that, for consumers, taste begins with the eyes. This is especially true with beverages, for whom hue, clarity, cloudiness, transparency, opacity and foam are very tightly controlled. Such the domain of the processing engineer, who depends on the sight glass and associated lighting to…
