CSIRO Takes Malvern Mastersizer Out to Sea
Work by the CSIRO Minerals team in Australia to analyze oil rig wastewaters has demonstrated the robustness of Malvern's Mastersizer design, and the breadth of applications for which this family of particle size analyzers can be used. The work was carried out on a platform 130 km out at sea, using a Mastersizer which had been transported directly to the site. Despite the rigours of...

Particle Size Analyzers are designed for use at- or on-line.
Liquid Process Sizer (LPS) is designed for continuous wet particle size measurement, while Insitec D is suited for use in hazardous areas where potential for dust explosions exists. Both systems utilize Insitec laser diffraction-based particle size analyzer technology. Each component of LPS can be individually tailored to process. LPS sampler extracts 2.5 ml liquid slugs from full pipe section,...
