In a large facility, like the one a specialty chemical company operates, there are often many opportunities for energy savings. Particularly, on the different types of process heating units.

Let's continue our discussion on Energy Savings. This time the focus is ovens and furnaces:

In multi-zone oven applications where solvents and solvent levels change depending upon the product produced, LFL/LEL Analyzers are necessary for monitoring in order to stay safe. These analyzers need to be consistent and reliable amongst this constantly changing atmosphere.

So ... is there a way to save money and reduce energy without compromising this safety?

A lot is being said about shale gas and fracking, here is an interesting article showing how it will change manufacturing practices all over the world:
