What has the manufacturer done for us?

Supporting process system integrators is a priority for at least one fluid power and process valve component manufacturer… Process control systems frequently require updates to account for changes in the manufacturing process, new lines, improvements in efficiency and system upgrades. Whatever the situation, system integrators will very often play an important role in defining system structures and specifying new components; then carrying-out the installation and commissioning work.

Tackling pollution control in diesel generating sets

The introduction of Tier 4 and Tier 5 emissions regulations continue to have an impact on manufacturers of diesel engines and the final products in which they are used. Tier 4 has already been implemented for non-emergency generating sets and it seems only a matter of time before they will have to meet Tier 5 requirements. To help manufacturers meet both current and future emissions regulations, Burkert can develop complete dosing packages for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems.

Ultrasonic flowmeters for temperature-control processes

Temperature-control processes, such as the cooling or heating applications used to process metals or plastics must function smoothly to guarantee quality products. Put simply, the flowmeters used in the circuits must also perform reliably. At the same time, however, wide measuring ranges are required to ensure that operating volumes as well as minor leaks are accurately recorded. With its ultrasonic flowmeters, Bürkert Fluid Control Systems offers practical solutions in this area.
