Semiconductor materials contain numerous ingredients in various mixing ratios, and high-performance materials are obtained by optimizing the formulation. However, more than 1,050 theoretical combinations of ingredients and mixing ratios need to be analyzed, so it would take more than dozens…
Corrosion under insulation (CUI) remains a persistent challenge at chemical process industries facilities, but the issue is receiving renewed attention amid a host of technologies, materials and methodologies for detection and prevention of CUI Corrosion of process equipment, piping and…
The new Rack Fire Protect (RFP) buildings (photo) are fire-rated for 2 h at 2,192°F (1,000°C), minimizing the risk of fire spreading within the workplace. Designed in Germany and proven in hundreds of installations worldwide, they are now manufactured in…
The TurboVap 96 Dual (photo) is a second-generation well plate evaporator system with two separate, and independently controlled evaporation compartments. The TurboVap 96 Dual has been designed to support enhanced well-plate evaporation within the sample-preparation workflow. With its unique two-in-one…
Evaporation and crystallization technologies have the ability to create advantages for pulping facilities by improving operational efficiency and reducing waste, while simultaneously producing high-value product streams The emergence of new products and markets is driving a global renaissance of the…
Lysine (Figure 1) is an α-amino acid used in the biosynthesis of proteins. The compound contains an amino group and a carboxylic acid group. Under biological conditions, the amino group is protonated (–NH3+) and the carboxylic acid group is deprotonated…
When a pump operates inefficiently, or fails all together, the challenge is to make the most economical decision on how to remedy the situation. Some guidance is provided here Centrifugal pumps are widely used throughout the chemical process industries (CPI).…
This company has launched a new generation of plug connectors with the Ex e and Ex d types of protection for quick connection of explosion-protected electrical equipment. As a solution that is particularly easy to mount and maintain, the modularly…
The Fisher WhisperTube Modal Attenuator (photo) was introduced recently for noisy gas or vapor applications. The modal attenuator is a full-bore device offering 15-dB sound suppression to reduce noise inside pipes produced by sources upstream, such as control valves, pressure-relief…
The maintenance-free RSK swing check valves (photo) offer a high functional reliability because a tight shut-off is ensured by a rubber-lined valve disc without rotating parts and without extensions through the body wall. Because all wetted parts are rubber-lined, they…
