"Packaged"

NEPTUNE CHEMICAL FEED UNIT a complete system for precisely regulating additives to continuous flow processes

The NEPTUNE proportioning system is precision engineered for accuracy, and a longer operating life. It offers several improved features—including auto-mafic controls—that are not found on many more expensive units.

O T H E R FEATURES I N C L U D E :

• Corrosion resistant, stainless steel piston valves and ball checks; heavy gauge construction throughout.

• Easy control of feed—simply adjust calibrated scale on the eccentric.

• Constant solution strength is assured as agitator prevents precipitates from settling.

• " Y " type strainer protects pump from harmful solids.

Tank, agitator and pump are combined in one smooth operating system that precisely proportions anything from treating chemicals, such as calgon, to petroleum distillates.

SRI's solar furnace

in the solar furnace all of the photo-chemically active light is absorbed by the eerie ions.

The dual function of the solar furnace can be simply expressed. If the concentrated rays from the sun fall on a black body, a high temperature is produced; if they fall on an object or a reaction system which absorbs largely in the visible and ultraviolet parts of the spectrum, little increase in temperature results.

Marcus and Wohlers suggest that this aspect of the solar furnace should have some worthwhile appli­cations. Industrial photochemical reactions, for example, need a cool
