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…
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.…
Increase Versatility and Improve Function with Lumiglas® accessories Using sight glasses is essential in the production of pharmaceuticals, as is maintaining the functionality and cleanliness of those sight glasses. The good news is that a wide variety of sight glass accessories are available to assist pharmaceutical manufacturing personnel in the production of pure, high-quality product…
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 materials such as manure, sewage, municipal waste, or plant material.
Like solar and wind power, it’s a renewable energy source.
It can be used as a fuel in a variety of applications; when cleaned and compressed, it can power motor vehicles.
An example for monitoring biogas processes
The safety regulations stipulated by professional farming associations require, amongst other things, that any sight glass fittings and electrically operated processes for the production of biogas are gas-tight and explosion-protected.
You can benefit from Papenmeier’s long experience in the manufacture of electrical plant that meets the highest demands on Ex protection. Because of the safety factor,the popular VISULEX Ex-camera system, part of the Lumiglas range, is ideal for use in this sector.
The remotely operated camera transmits data for visual control or analysis from any desired position. Remote-controlled disc wipers with a spray nozzle ensure an unhindered view.
The combination consists of:

A Reminder About the Benefits Of LEDs LEDs can successfully replace metal halide, high-pressure sodium, HID, and outdated fluorescent lamps.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…
Visulex Camera Systems – an intrinsically safe remote observation camera system REMOTE OBSERVATION NEVER SEEN BEFORE The Visulex Camera System is ideal for inspection and remote observation of process operations, particularly in explosive environments and for monitoring objects that are not normally accessible. The Visulex Camera System has 2 different types of cameras to…
Explosion proof Lumistar Luminaires are for illuminating the interior of normally closed vessels. Lumistar Luminaires illuminate the interior of tanks, hoppers, silos, agitators and other normally closed vessels and reactors as well as visual flow indicators in potentially explosive environments. Sight glass luminaires that are used in potentially explosive environments Ex-type sight glass luminaires are…
Lumiglas® Sight Glass, Luminaires and Visulex Camera Systems can be found in the Pharmaceutical, Oil Refining, Food & Beverage Industries, Mining, Water Treatment, Power Generation, Port Operations and more. For every industrial application there is a sight glass available to enable an unrestricted view during process observation. Glass is an amorphous, not crystalline solid matter, which behaves…
