In recent months, engineers at Equilibar have noticed an increase in inquiries for electrolysis applications. There could be many reasons for this trend, but one of the most likely is that renewable energy and decarbonization efforts continue to grow at a fast pace, and many of these initiatives involve electrolysis. In simple terms, water electrolysis Read More

Researchers at MIT implemented an Equilibar® Back Pressure Regulator to control pressure on a membrane used in reverse osmosis water purification research. The unit helped to eliminate noise in the data collected and allowed for automation of testing to increase practicality and efficiency. The research is part of an effort to improve the desalination and remediation of water. Read Customer Case Read More

Researchers at Duke University and the University of Missouri are using an Equilibar back pressure regulator to develop a Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) system to improve waste water treatment. The system is intended to be used globally, especially in areas that lack infrastructure for centralized waste water treatment. This important environmental research relies on the Read More

Researchers at the Technical University of Delft in The Netherlands are exploring a novel method of using Carbonated Water Flooding to increase the amount of oil that can be recovered from sandstone reservoirs and to improve the environmental impact and safety of the oil extraction process. As part of this endeavor, they used an Equilibar® back pressure regulator that is Read More

The Institute of Chemical Technology at Germany’s University of Stuttgart is leading research efforts to find improved catalysts for the production of phthalic anhydride, a primary precursor for the production of plasticizers. Previous research in this area has been limited by the need to maintain an extremely low concentration of the o-xylene reactant (<1%) in the catalytic reactor to avoid hot Read More

Researchers at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra are using an Equilibar® Back Pressure Regulator to study granular materials, complex networks, and rock or natural porous media with the goal of developing better ways to sequester carbon dioxide emissions. The research focuses on deciphering the complexity of these materials by understanding the relationships between Read More

Equilibar is now able to provide wetted body components and metallic diaphragms with Inert Silicon coating. The surface treatment eliminates surface adsorption of active compounds like sulfurs, H2S, ammonia and mercury on steel. This allows users to install Equilibar regulators in systems with low level sampling and storage of active compounds. http://www.silcotek.com/silcod-technologies/SilcoNert-inert-coating/ For increased wear Read More
