These Jacoby-Tarbox 830-F Sight Flow Indicators with Drop-In Spray Rings are making their way to a Bio-Diesel plant in the Southwest U.S.! These indicators are playing a crucial role in refining animal fat (cooking oil) into Bio-Diesel by providing operators with clear, 360º visibility of the process. How it Works: Before the feedstock passes through the sight glass, gums are separated in a centrifuge at 150-185°F. These gums can range from fluid to highly viscous, dependin

In all industries that produce wastewater—including chemical, refining, pharmaceutical, and food—strict EPA regulations mandate that water interacting with the environment be clean and safe. The fracking industry is no exception. Even though fracking water is often reused or recycled, compliance remains critical to ensure the water returned to the environment meets local standards. Fracking water, heavily contaminated with well materials and chemicals, must be filtered and pH

A lube oil manufacturer in Brazil faced long blending times, taking approximately 8 hours to mix lube oil with proprietary additives using mechanical mixers. This prolonged process limited production capacity and operational efficiency. Using AccuBlend Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) A Jacoby-Tarbox® Program™ , it was demonstrated that Tank Liquid Agitators (TLAs) offered a more efficient mixing solution. The analysis revealed that in-tank eductors could achieve the same b

Last week, we delivered three (3) ACF-12-36-725 Coalescing Filter Vessels to a custom air and gas compression solutions provider in the Western U.S. These filters will ultimately serve an electric utility in the Southeastern U.S., which is transitioning from coal-burning units to cleaner turbine systems for power generation. Combustion turbines operate similarly to jet engines: air is compressed, combined with natural gas or oil, and ignited. The resulting high-temperature ga
