The MicroEDS BioWaste Treatment System (photo) was recently introduced for biologically hazardous waste decontamination, typically required in the biopharmaceutical sector, laboratories and research institutes. The low-volume system is certified to ASME and ISO/EN standards for treating BSL 1, 2 and…
DMK SmartPump systems consist of a pump with a programmable logic controller (PLC), which controls the system’s highly advanced servo motor. Motor speed, power consumption and force feedback can be recorded by the PLC, and process information is collected and…
The new kytero single-use separator (photo) is designed for obtaining fermentation solutions and cell cultures, and is equipped with the Westfalia Separator disk-stack technology for maximum yield, high separation efficiency and gentle product handling. The kytero combines the high performance…
This company has launched two open-path gas detectors (photo) that operate in extreme environments, including heavy vibration conditions and operating temperatures ranging from –55 to 65°C. The Rosemount 935 combustible gas detector uses infrared (IR) technology to detect a wide…
A team of researchers, led by professor Myoung-Jin Kim, from Korea Maritime and Ocean University (Busan, South Korea; www.kmou.ac.kr), has developed a process that recovers calcium-free magnesium sulfate from seawater desalination brine (SDB). The process, described in a recent issue…
The Ultrapure Smart ALG breathing-air system (photo) processes compressed air into safe breathing air, using a sequence of filtration and adsorption operations. A first stage removes condensate and particles from compressed air by an UltraPleat coalescence filter. Air is then…
Often, operational problems in steam systems are misattributed because the system’s steam quality is not closely monitored. A clear understanding of steam quality can help to better address these issues Steam quality describes the proportion of saturated steam (vapor) in…
The new Strongex range of industrial luminaires (photo) is designed specifically for installation in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries. Available for EX Zone 1 or EX Zone 2 applications, the Strongex 1 and Strongex 2 luminaires are said to…
CREA is an operational intelligence platform that allows management and optimization of integral wastewater treatment processes using real-time data monitoring of key process parameters. CREA provides intelligent decision support, multiple control strategies and automatic reporting on key data analytics and…
Following this approach to assessing health, safety and environmental risks can steer engineers to consider more inherently safe process options earlier in process synthesis During process synthesis in the chemical process industries (CPI), engineers make decisions that determine the inherent…
