A car company moves closer to making cellulosic ethanol ecomomically

Using gene recombination technology, Toyota Motor Corp. (TMC; Toyota City, Japan: www2.toyota.co.jp/en) has developed a new strain of yeast that achieves one of the highest ethanol-fermentation density levels in the world — approximately 47 g/L with 87% yield (based on…

High temperature and pressure are not a problem for this pump

Available in ANSI stainless steel with stainless-steel actuator, the Badger Meter RC200 control valve is designed for handling liquids and gases at pressures up to 5,000 psi and temperatures ranging from –80 to 500°C. The valves are available as a…

Prevent binding of reactants with this chopper

A new chopper system has been developed for demanding applications where products tend to bind or harden when adding reactants. The chopper is placed tangentially and at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the mixer, through both sides…

Temperature-related problems are avoided with this dry pump

This company has expanded its iXH family of harsh-process dry pumps with the introduction of the iXH500H Series. This new series of 500-m3/h pumps has been optimized for flat-panel, solar and advanced semiconductor processes that require high gas flows and…

A new series of solenoid valves in brass or stainless steel

The solenoid valves from the new product Series 6200 are suitable for a broad spectrum of standard applications with fluidic and gaseous media. The first two valves of the series — types 6213EV and 6281EV — are available in brass…

Transfer harsh chemicals with this mobile pump

A new non-metallic mobile pump and tank cart is designed to transfer wastewater and caustic or acidic chemicals with no corrosion. All fluid-contact surfaces of the tank, base plate and secondary containment chamber are made from solid polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl…
