  • Free your safety and clinical teams to focus on what matters most.

  • The LightIR thermal imaging zoom lenses are lightweight, compact, and high-performance, designed for a range of reduced SWaP applications, including UAVs, aircraft vision systems, drones, and more.

  • Turner Designs turbidity sensors provide accurate, stable measurements of suspended particulates in natural waters. With low power requirements and a compact design, they integrate easily into process control or field platforms. Rated to 200 meters, these sensors support sediment transport studies, water clarity monitoring, and coastal change research, delivering reliable turbidity data in real time.

  • As the final step before treated wastewater leaves the plant, effective disinfection is extremely important to protect human health, and the maintenance of the environment. This process eliminates pathogenic organisms that cannot be removed by previous treatment steps and reduces the spread of pathogens in the natural ecosystem.

    USP’s current offerings include our unrivaled in-house CFD modeling expertise that can be used to optimize the injection, mixing and feed rates of PAA to meet the disinfection requirements of a facility. Also, launching later this year, is our OaSys iCT™ is a novel control approach that optimizes disinfection performance by calculating the optimal chemical dosage that accounts for sources of treatment variability in real time. Available for use with PAA or chlorine.

  • SpillSens is a low-cost, multi-alarm digital float sensor designed to act as an early warning system for blockages and sewer overflows. ATEX-approved and built to withstand harsh sewer environments, SpillSens uses digital positioning technology to monitor rising levels in the wastewater network. Connected to an advanced data logger with integral telemetry, alert messages are transmitted to a dedicated user portal.

    SpillSens is a simple-to-install, robust, and cost-effective solution for long-term level monitoring in wastewater networks.

ABOUT

Spray Nozzles
Spray nozzles are a conceptually simple device with a very important purpose in the petrochemical industry. While designs are rarely the same, they operate under the same concepts. A spray nozzle disperses contents that are under pressure in a more even manner than otherwise possible. Sometimes they are used for the purpose if increasing the surface area of a desired liquid substance.
The head of the spray nozzle consists of several flow or drip points that will determine how fine the mist that emerges will be. The more flow points there are, the finer the mist will be. However, flow points are not the only factor. The pressure put on the spray nozzle will greatly affect the stream of mist. Depending on the usage, the function may require a low flow rate or a high flow rate.
Uses in the petrochemical industry usually include injecting additives to the product, creating a fire protection and prevention system for the plant, and cooling systems.  They can also be used for gas scrubbing, which is the process of removing any contaminants that the oil may have accumulated during the refinement process.
Materials used to make petrochemical spray nozzles are often alloyed with other metals to ensure that they provide the correct weight, performance, and durability required by the refinery. Common metal alloys used are brass and stainless steel.
Petrochemical spray nozzles are crucial to the refining process.
