This MOF selectively captures radioactive iodine

A challenge in recovering fissile material from spent nuclear fuel is separating radioactive components that cannot be reused as fuel. Researchers at Sandia National Laboratory (Albuquerque, N.M.; www.sandia.gov) have fabricated metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) capable of selectively capturing gaseous iodine from…

Choosing Oil-injected Screw Compressors

  Screw compressors are widely used throughout the chemical process industries (CPI) and represent a substantial percentage of all positive-displacement compressors that are now sold and in operation in CPI facilities. In general, screw compressors are efficient, reliable, simple and…

This metering pump now has a head made of PVC

The ecosmart metering pump is now available with a PVC pump head. That means the ecosmart can even be used in applications that require good resistance against highly aggressive chemicals — including industrial water-treatment systems, for example, where sodium hypochloride…

Longterm stability ensured with this new check valve

This company’s new generation of check valves features a hydrodynamically optimized valve cone, which minimizes the pressure loss while increasing flow by 25% compared to the previous generation. It is practically impossible for the valve cone to jam anymore since…

A turnkey and ready-to-use metering solution

DosaSkid is a “plug-and-play” metering device that can be used for a wide variety of applications, including desalination, boiler-water treatment, industrial water treatment, petroleum refining (additive injection), and clean-in-place tasks in the food-and-beverage industry. Two types of DosaSkid are available:…

This little pump handles fluids containing abrasive particles

Pumping fluids that contain abrasive particles, such as those found in inks and paints can have a detrimental effect on pump performance, with erosion being a key factor in reducing pump life. To meet these challenges, this company has introduced…
