Traditionally, many polymerization reactions are carried out batchwise in reactor vessels, with the reaction taking place in solution, emulsion or in a melt. This procedure reaches its limits if, for example, the reaction is very exothermic or the viscosity increases…
The V-Cone Blenders utilize diffusion as the main mechanism for mixing. As the V-shaped vessel rotates on its horizontal axis, batch materials cascade down, distributing particles over a freshly exposed surface. With operating speeds of 5 to 25 rpm, this…
Basotect thermoset melamine resin foam (photo) offers outstanding acoustic properties. Because of its fine, open-cell foam structure, it can achieve sound-absorption values in the mid- and high-frequency ranges. Moreover, sound absorbers made from Basotect reduce the echo caused by reverberation…
These new powder containers (photo) feature a custom design that streamlines material transfer in a personal-care-product manufacturing process. Developed for a major private-label manufacturer, the powder containers set FDA-compliant, polyethylene bulk containers within durable, steel frames in a configuration that…
In a first-of-its-kind trial project, a CO2-removal method known as enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is being combined with biotechnology to accelerate atmospheric CO2 sequestration. FabricNano (London, U.K.; www.fabricnano.com) and Veolia (Paris, France; www.veolia.com) have embarked on a partnership wherein enzymes…
Selecting the proper air-pollution control equipment for your process means focusing on the removal of specific pollutants while also ensuring that production goals are met Air-pollution control (APC) equipment is used to prevent pollutants from being released into the atmosphere…
The ASCO Series 148/149 safety valve and motorized actuator (photo) is designed for industrial fuel-oil burner recirculation and safety shutoff applications. The new device prevents overpressure, leaks and system malfunctions that can lead to health and safety incidents, with one…
This company has introduced new 6- and 8-in. valve sizes for its Model CV valve product line (photo). The new valves are available in actuated and manual versions with both featuring a Class 150 pressure rating. Additionally, the company is…
Advances in H2S-removal technologies for biogas upgrading are essential for mitigating environmental issues like air pollution and corrosion Biogas, a renewable energy source derived from organic waste and typically comprised mainly of methane, holds great promise for sustainable energy production.…
The ecoflow LDC1 M910S (photo) has a hydraulic output of 0.2 kW and was equipped with an Ex motor due to the hydrogen produced during the process. In accordance with the requirements of the application, it conveys water at up…
