Meet Potable-Water Health Regulations with this Filter

A high-flowing, low-pressure-drop carbon filter, the NanoCeram-PAC water-filter cartridge contains an electropositive (approximately 50 mV) filter media composed of nano-alumina on a microglass fiber matrix, with synthetic polymer fibers for increased pore size, flexibility and strength. Recently certified to NSF/ANSI…

Reduce hydrocarbon contamination up to 95% in a single pass

The Carbflex OAC-20BB Oil Absorbing Filter Cartridge (photo) is an efficient, high-capacity solution for reducing hydrocarbon contamination and other pollutants. The OAC-20BB filter cartridge is constructed from modified cellulose-based filter media for exceptional absorption, delivering high flowrates and low pressure…

Optimize spray drying with this simulation tool

Developed over the last three years, Drynetics is a concept for using computer simulations to optimize a spray drying plant (photo). The model is put into the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of full-scale spray dryers, and incorporates the know-how…
