Single-use tubing for biopharmaceutical applications Meissner Filtration Products BioFlex tubing assemblies (photo) are designed for secure fluid transfer in critical biopharmaceutical processing applications. The assemblies are configured from this company’s library of pre-qualified components, including its sterilizing-grade membrane filter capsule,…
The N0150 diaphragm pumps can now be customized with water-cooled heads to prevent pump overheating in process applications where exothermic reactions can produce excessive heat and potentially shorten pump service life. Capable of serving a range of industries, the pumps…
d fsbgsd High-speed dispersers from this company are suitable for most straightforward powder wet-out applications with fluid viscosities up to 50,000 cP. The units, which can be built to mix vessels up to 6,000 gal or larger, are constructed with…
Incorporating a fixed deadband, internal soft seats and an integral bypass restriction, the VBL pneumatic volume booster has an enhanced performance capability that is important in applications where a valve positioner alone cannot provide the stroking speed needed to meet…
The new EcoPrime metering pump delivers a precise flowrate in low-pressure liquid chromatography (LPLC) systems, and provides a linear gradient between 0.5 and 99.5% — with 0.5% accuracy. Traditional systems only work linearly over a range between 20 and 70%,…
The 8681 control head was developed for decentral automation of hygienic seat valves, butterfly valves and ball valves. It supplements the company’s Element Series of control heads, digital positioners and process controllers for diaphragm, angle seat and globe valves. The…
The new three-way Water Manifold enables researchers to connect three water-cooled condensers to a single water supply. With the main body constructed of anodized aluminum, the manifold is designed to be clamped to fume hood scaffolding in either vertical or…
Impending standards requiring that cellulosic ethanol be used in gasoline blending have focused attention on building a capacity for bioethanol from non-food sources. In a development that may begin to meet that need, a plant employing a unique method for…
China produces about 98% of the world’s electrolytic manganese metal (EMM), a vital ingredient used in specialty steels, aluminum and electronics. In contrast, the U.S. produces no EMM, says Nick Weir, an executive with U.S. American Manganese Inc. (AMY; White…
A huge market for lithium ion batteries is expected to develop as car makers move toward electric vehicles. However, improvements in the batteries’ energy and power density are needed. It is also desirable to replace the common, high-cost lithium cobalt…
