Wet Scrubbers

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…

If you need clean, dry steam, use this filter

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,…

I treat my body like a distillation column

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 —…

Structured packing for gas-scrubber applications

The GEA 2H MASSdek structured packings have been used for such applications as gas scrubbing, exhaust-air cleaning, desorption (stripping) and rectification. Compared to conventional packings, the 2H MASSdek packings are “far superior” in terms of low specific pressure drop and…

A system to remove suspended solids from biotech samples

The MBPX 810H separation system is a mobile, easily installed plug-and-play module developed for microbiological applications, such as cell cultures, bacteria, rDNA products and vaccines. It is used for removing suspended solids with particle sizes of approximately 0.5 to 500…

An economical way to distill large volumes of products

The patented Plate Molecular Still is capable of distilling large quantities of product (10 ton/h and more), under medium- or high-vacuum conditions. The system is suitable for applications involving temperature-sensitive substances, such as oils, fats, pharmaceuticals, vitamins, methyl esters and…

Continuous L-L extraction — no shaking required

The Asia FLLEX (flow liquid-liquid extraction) module is a flow chemistry equivalent to a separating funnel, yet involves no shaking, nor does it rely on gravity. It is suitable for the preparation of samples prior to analysis, further synthetic steps…

Process more beer with this larger clarifier

To be introduced next month at Brau Beviale 2012 (Nuremberg, Germany; November 13–15), the AC2500 beer clarifier processes up to 600 hL/h of beer, making it suitable for big breweries. The AC2500 can be used flexibly for pre-clarification before filtration,…

Efficient filter cartridges that require no precoating

Installed into Viledon sinTexx filter cartridges, this new corrugated polyester medium with nanofiber lining is said to achieve optimum performance when dealing with fine and difficult-to-handle dust and smoke. Compared to conventional corrugated polyester materials and ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene) membranes,…
