Finding a vacuum gauge for monitoring chemical processes can be a challenge. There are few gauges that simultaneously cover the appropriate vacuum range with sufficient accuracy and have the ability to cope with regular exposure to aggressive chemicals. VACUUBRAND's VACUU·VIEW™…
Because vacuum technology spans 15 orders of magnitude (103 mbar - 10-12 mbar, or 760 torr - 10-12 torr), there is no single vacuum gauge that can cover the full range. Consequently, a number of different gauge technologies have…
Implementing microreactors in chemical production is quite a challenge. How these challenges can be met is described here At the heart of a chemical process is the reactor, where the conversion of reactants to products occurs. Depending on the need…
Another question that we often hear from our customers is, what pump do I need? The right answer depends upon a variety of factors - such as the nature of the process or application, the working pressure and/or flow rate…
Ongoing advances in both adsorbent materials and system engineering allow today’s pressure swing adsorption (PSA) systems to produce nitrogen of varying purities and volumes at relatively low cost compared to cryogenic air separation Nitrogen production that is carried out using…
Vacuum is a very widely used utility in the process industries – from pharmaceutical and chemical to food and biotechnology. While some applications require fairly deep vacuum – so-called “fine” vacuum – many other operations rely on vacuum in the…
For many people, one of the most important features to consider when sourcing a vacuum pump is the ability of that pump to hold up over the long term. Pumps are exposed to a wide range of operating conditions that…
In light of the operational concerns reviewed in Part 1, this chemical recycling firm decided to evaluate different pump technologies. Fortunately, recent advances in vacuum pump technology make dry-running pumps a viable option for many of those currently using liquid…
Summary: A number of common industrial processes require vacuum, such as distillation or drying operations. The necessary vacuum has historically been supplied using a variety of technologies that have high operating costs in terms of both consumables (e.g., oil, water)…
