This new air-atomizing nozzle enables the effective spraying of viscous fluids at very fine atomization but at low flowrates. The XA ER nozzle provides a full cone spray pattern for liquids with viscosity of 100 cP or more. The nozzle…
Available from this company, the Dickow magnetically coupled centrifugal pumps include the KM series, which handles capacities as high as 65 m3/h at heads up to 65 m. All KM Series pumps are magnetically coupled, so they are leak-free. Available…
Scientists from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST; Tsukuba, Japan; www.aist.go.jp), in collaboration with Tokyo University of Science and Panchakot Mahavidyalaya University, have demonstrated that a nickel-complex-type organic nanotube (Ni-ONT), developed by AIST, can catalyze oxidation…
Last month, PJI Contract Pte Ltd. (Singapore; www.pjicon.com.sg) opened a production facility for the manufacture of titanium dioxide solution — a self-cleaning, nanocoating material developed at Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech; www.simtech.a-star.edu.sg), a research institute of the Agency for…
A solar cell made of carbon nanotube (CNT) fiber has been demonstrated by researchers from Fudan University (Shanghai; www.fudan.edu.cn). University professor Huisheng Peng says, “For the fibers we use, the carbon nanotubes exhibit a high degree of alignment with much…
The new generation of this company’s Embreak emulsion breakers employs new chemistry designed for light- and medium-density crude petroleum. The products deliver optimal desalter performance, the company says, while reducing the generation of nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPE), a byproduct of emulsion…
Pfeiffer Vacuum Large pressure ranges and maximum compression ratios are the ideal site of operation for the gas-cooled roots pump OktaLine G. The pumping speed ranges from 250 to 12,000 m3/h, and is suited for low and medium vacuum, such…
This company has upgraded the 4-in. model of its NP Series sliding vane pump with optional electric heating. The completion of the 4-in size follows other sizes in the series with this option. Electric heating can be used in place…
As chemical processors continue their quest to process more with less equipment, they are seeking reactors capable of helping with this endeavor. For this reason, many are turning to continuous flow reactors because they provide scaleability and flexibility. However, vendors…
By immobilizing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) within polymer membrane pores, scientists at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT; Newark, N.J.; www.njit.edu) were able to significantly improve the efficiency of desalination via a membrane distillation process. Somenath Mitra and colleagues at…
