These filters resist pulse cleaning

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…

RO membranes for water with fouling potential

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…

PES nanofleece prefilters for the biopharmaceutical industry

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…

Save space and energy with this radio frequency dryer

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 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…

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…
