The IPS Power Monitor (model KW941) monitors and displays actual power to the rotating equipment. The IPS Power Monitor is equipped with a programmable startup delay as well as low and high trip points offering simultaneous protection from underload and overload operating conditions.

- Designed with Unique Features that enable monitoring of actual equipment power.

- Programmable Start-up delay with low and high trip points.

- Ideal for both Sealed and Sealless process pumps.

- Helps Eliminate Extensive Repairs and Downtime with proper application.

- Automatic Shut-down or Alarm Tripping can be achieved before damage occurs.

The Yokogawa DTSX200 distributed temperature sensor (DTS) is used to monitor temperature, leaks, and flow in oil/gas downhole, pipeline, LNG/refinery tank/reactor vessel, fire detection, and other industrial thermal applications. Released in October 2011, the DTSX200 is the distributed temperature sensor with a STARDOM field controller option to improve production efficiency by working together with production control systems. The DTSX200 is being field tested for oil/gas in-well applications by some major oil companies. The DTSX200 is also being proposed for pipeline and tank leak detection systems.

Quebec, Canada, February 1, 2012 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, announces the introduction of the new MB-Rx in-situ Reaction Monitor for research laboratories and pilot plants in the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries.

The MB-Rx is a plug-and-play solution designed around the key concepts of analytical performance, reliability and simplicity. This robust analyzer provides real-time insight into chemical reaction dynamics. Key parameters such as kinetics over different phases, reagent consumption and the synthesis of products and by-products can be assessed in real time.

The MB-Rx features a rugged Hastelloy ATR probe and an intuitive software interface that also allows for rapid set-up of experiment templates. The analyzer’s compact footprint allows it to fit inside crowded fume hoods, providing convenient access to reactors. Permanently aligned optics and a light source with an average lifespan of 10 years make the MB-Rx virtually maintenance-free. In addition, it does not use hygroscopic optics or a cryogenic detector, thus eliminating the need for optical purging, desiccant cartridges, liquid nitrogen or Stirling coolers.
