Intek Modification Reduces DO by 70% at Entergy Little Gypsy
Entergy’s Little Gypsy, Unit 2, is a 450 MW unit originally designed for base load operation. Since becoming a peaking power operation, the plant has had problems with excessive dissolved oxygen (DO), especially during periods of low load. Intek, Inc was contracted to identify and correct condenser design deficiencies responsible for the high DO. The result was a 75% reduction in DO at only 5% of full load. At 22 MW, dissolved oxygen decreased from 22 to 5 ppb and at 180 MW, dissolved oxygen was reduced from 13 ppb to 2 ppb (below the range of the DO meter). Click here to learn more.

Intek Launches New Product to Monitor Vacuum Drying
The RheoVac DR monitoring system increases capacity and throughput by limiting drying bottlenecks for food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and other industries.
INTEK, Inc. announces the RheoVac DR vacuum drying system for use in a number of industries including: food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and plastics. The system eliminates guesswork associated with timed runs or off-line sampling to determine drying performance, often a time consuming and expensive experiment. The RheoVac DR allows positive determination of when drying is complete, reducing over or under drying, and costly stops and starts. Click here for more information.
New Flow Meter with Added Versatility and Safety
Intek has started manufacturing the new Model 210 Flow Meter: trusted Rheotherm precision, with added versatility, functionality, and safety. The instruments measure liquid flows as low as one gallon per year and gases as low as 20 sccm. The signal processing electronics can be integrally mounted to the sensor and installed at the process site. Configurations with the electronics separately mounted up to 200 feet away from the sensor are also available. FM and CFM approved options for hazardous locations. CE marked. More information about Model 210 (PDF)
