Equilibar’s Diane Jacober wrote a timely cover story for Valve Magazine’s Summer 2023 issue that focuses on pressure control for the alternative protein market. I have been following the exciting progress of alternative proteins for about a year now. It is impressive to see the field’s explosive growth, which is driven by both environmental and Read More

I recently returned from the ACHEMA exhibition in Germany, and it’s hard to express how excited I feel about the fast pace of progress in hydrogen energy and the roles Equilibar is playing in this movement. ACHEMA is arguably the world’s top trade show for the process industry, with more than 2000 exhibitors from 50 Read More

I wanted to share what I believe will be an exciting step in Equilibar’s continuing growth. My passion as an engineer and entrepreneur has always been technical innovation. My recent travels and collaboration with key partners have only heightened my awareness of the rapid speed of technical advances happening all around the world. I strongly Read More

Earlier this month, I got a nice surprise in the mail—a plaque from the Federal Laboratory Consortium recognizing Equilibar’s collaboration with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to develop emergency ventilator technology. The plaque brought back many memories. Just one year ago, as COVID was quickly becoming an international crisis, the Equilibar team was working long Read More

To our Equilibar customers and partners, Regarding the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, I would like to assure our customers and other partners that Equilibar has adopted several measures to ensure that we can continue to support you as we move forward. Our engineers are working and welcome your inquiries. They are ready to answer questions and Read More

Over the years, Equilibar’s technical team has worked with clients to envision new applications and expand into industries I never could have imagined when I first started the company. These new engineering ventures include single use valves for the pharmaceutical industry, massive custom regulators for the defense industry, and cryogenic valves for supercritical CO2 extraction. Read More

Over the summer, I began hearing more and more about NASA’s Artemis program, the successor to the Apollo missions of the 1960s. The goal of Artemis is to land “the first woman and the next man” on the moon by 2024 as well as establish a sustainable lunar presence and travel to Mars. A few Read More

For space exploration, the ability to generate enough oxygen for crew members is of primary importance. On board the International Space Station, an Oxygen Generator Assembly uses flow cell electrolysis to make oxygen from water using a flowing water electrolyzer. Flow cell electrolysis is a common way to facilitate a continuous electrochemical reaction while separating Read More

Equilibar is featured in the March issue of Flow Control Magazine in an article explaining how direct sealing diaphragm valves offer good solutions for extremely difficult flow control scenarios. The article includes two case studies—one from ILS-Integrated Laboratory Solutions, GmBH in Berlin and the other from Pressure Control Solutions (PCS) in the Netherlands. I feel Read More

Design engineer Ryan Heffner played an instrumental role in developing Equilibar’s FD series of sanitary fluid control valves as well as our single use valve for BioPharma applications. “From a humanitarian perspective, I think medicine as a whole is super exciting for researchers,” he said. “It feels as if we’re at the dawn of a Read More
