At AchemAsia, this engineering company presented its range of filters and filtration plants for the chemical, food, biotechnology and environmental industries. For example, the Hi-Bar range of continuous pressure filters is said to offer new solutions for filtration, washing and…
The operating costs of direct, steam-heated evaporators can significantly be reduced by revamping with mechanical vapor recompressors (MVRs), according to this company. For example, a four-effect, directly steam-heated evaporation plant, designed for 30 ton/h of water evaporation initially had a…
Sulfur is a major contaminant in the oil and gas industry that exists in various forms and requires separation from both water and process streams. In recent years the removal of sulfur species has received increasing attention because of safety…
The HemiPleat eXtreme nano-fiber filter offers higher filtration efficiencies, greater durability and better resistance to pulse cleaning than competitive products, the company says. The standard HemiPleat filter delivers MERV (minimum efficiency reporting value) 15 efficiency — higher than the MERV…
Three new types of Lewabrane membrane separation elements for reverse osmosis (RO) are now available. These new products are suitable for water with strong fouling potential. The new elements were designed to generate greater turbulence in the feedwater channel, meaning…
The newly launched Sartoguard NF prefilter series feature a unique combination of high-performance polyethersulfone (PES) membranes and nanofleece technology. This is said to be the first time that PES nanofleece material is being used for liquid prefiltration applications in biopharmaceutical…
The Macrowave RF Drying System provides greater efficiency that conventional convection and infrared systems for the high-speed drying of water-based patterned glue and coatings in the converting and textile industries. This RF drying system selectively heats only the patterned coatings…
Wet fluegas desulfurization (FGD), also known as wet-scrubbing, is a popular pollution-abatement technique for removing acid gases, such as SO2 and HCl from fluegas produced during coal-fired power generation and industrial combustion processes. Wet scrubbing is used in association with…
The SF1 is a stainless-steel separator-filter that is designed to remove condensate and particulate matter, such as dirt and scale, from steam or inert gas. The SF1 is ideal for situations where dry, dust-free steam or inert gas is required,…
My personal physician looks at me like I am a distillation column. Dr. Dianne English worked as a chemical engineer for about five years before attending and completing medical school. As an engineer, she worked for Champlin and Conoco-Phillips —…
