Casey works on thermoplastic piping systems, so the questions land on material choice and jointing: which polymer survives this medium at this temperature, and whether to fuse, socket or flange a run.
Ryan gets asked about hygienic instrumentation: where a sensor may sit in a CIP loop, how to keep a measurement stable through cleaning cycles, and what a 3-A or EHEDG requirement really demands.
Joshua works with electrical tomography, so his questions are about seeing inside a pipe or vessel without opening it: where a mixture separates, whether a blend is actually homogeneous, and how a flow regime changes with rate.
Gérard is asked about ultrasonic flow and moisture measurement in gas: how to meter wet or dirty gas, what a clamp-on can and cannot do, and how to keep a custody transfer measurement defensible.
Natalie answers level and pressure questions across radar, guided wave and hydrostatic: which principle survives foam, agitation or condensation, and how to get a reliable reading out of a difficult vessel.
Matt gets the high-shear mixing questions: how to wet out a powder that keeps forming lumps, how to make an emulsion stable, and whether a batch process should move inline.
Dietmar is asked how to pick and place an instrument so it keeps telling the truth: straight run, mounting position, diagnostics, and what verification without process interruption is actually worth.
Eldad answers valve questions for demanding service: seat and seal material against the medium, fire safe and fugitive emission requirements, and what an actuator has to deliver at the worst-case differential pressure.
Trevor is asked about low flow measurement, where most standard meters give up: how to meter millilitres per minute repeatably, and which principle holds its calibration on viscous or intermittent flow.
Francisco gets heat transfer questions: how to heat or cool a product that fouls, what a scraped surface exchanger buys you, and how to size for a duty that changes through the batch.
Dave answers questions about level switches and sensors in unglamorous conditions: sludge, foam, coating media, and what still works when the tank is not clean.
Lee is asked about peristaltic pumping: tube life against the chemistry, how to dose accurately at low flow, and when a hose pump beats a diaphragm or lobe pump on abrasive duty.
Erik answers questions on mass flow measurement and control of small gas and liquid flows: how to control a flow that keeps drifting, and what a thermal or Coriolis principle does to your response time.
Dominik gets the sealless pumping questions: when a canned motor or magnetic drive is the right answer, how to handle a liquid near its boiling point, and what monitoring a hermetic pump really needs.
Eric answers instrumentation questions across flow, level and analytics: how to integrate a measurement into an existing control system, and what a diagnostic actually tells you before a failure.
Erwin is asked about progressing cavity and rotary lobe pumps: how to pump something thick, abrasive or full of solids, and how to get a longer run out of a stator.
Nikolas answers level questions on solids and difficult liquids: rotary paddle, vibrating fork or radar, and how to keep a silo or tank reading trustworthy through filling and emptying.
Pascal gets asked about compressed air and gas measurement: where the leaks and the money go, how to measure flow and dew point in an existing line, and what a baseline should look like.
Bob answers thermal mass flow questions: metering digester, flare and vent gas at low pressure, and how to keep a measurement valid when the gas composition moves.
Jens has more than thirty-five years in hydraulics and transmissions, and seventeen of them in the DESMI R&D department. When someone needs a liquid moved, he is the one weighing the options, the difficulties and the troubleshooting.
Erik answers gas and flame detection questions: which sensing technology suits the gas and the environment, where to place detectors, and what calibration and bump testing a plant really needs.
Paul is asked about gas flow metering and control: how to get an accurate reading at low flow, what changes when pressure or temperature move, and how to keep an instrument calibrated in the field.
Martin gets the mixing and pumping questions on hard media: how to keep a digester or slurry tank homogeneous, how to chop solids before they block something, and what survives in a corrosive tank.
Jan answers questions about precise flow measurement and control: choosing between thermal, Coriolis and pressure based methods, and how to hold a setpoint on a small flow in a real process.
Kyle is asked about control valve sizing and emissions: how to get the rangeability you need without oversizing, and what a smaller, lighter valve changes for cavitation, noise and fugitive emissions.
No expert covers that combination yet. Send your question in anyway and our editors will find the right specialist, or tell you honestly that we do not have one.
Filtration systems and storage have no expert on call yet. If that is your field, your specialist would be the first, and every question in that zone would come to them.
The Weekly E-Update lands on Tuesday and E-Product & Market Insights on Thursday: new equipment, projects and answers from across fluid handling and processing.
