Equilibar’s Jennifer Jacober is a design engineer with expertise in flow control solutions for unusually complex applications. She recently helped create an animation video that demonstrates the inner workings of a new Advanced Flow Control Valve (AFC) with direct-sealing diaphragm technology. The valve has specific advantages for applications with multiple challenges and is especially useful Read More

Single Use Technology Manager Ryan Heffner is busy preparing for two international conferences, but he took a minute to discuss advances that have happened in fluid control for the biopharmaceutical industry during the past year, including an explosion in single use technologies. Equilibar will be in Booth 2427 at INTERPHEX and Booth 30 at BioProcess Read More

March is here, and that means it’s time to focus on the phenomenal work being done by Equilibar’s research customers. Why March? The tradition began as a spinoff from Equilibar’s March Madness bracket contest. One year, we thought it would be fun to see how many universities competing in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament were Read More

During the past year, Equilibar engineers have noticed an uptick in inquiries from researchers looking for better ways to control back pressure in fuel injector test stands. One reason for the renewed interest is that scientists around the world are exploring ways to use hydrogen as a green fuel enhancement for combustion engines. Background Fuel 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

Metal Organic Frameworks (MOF) are a class of nanomaterials with high surface areas and porous structures that offer potential advantages for a variety of applications including hydrogen storage, water purification, and wound healing. Despite their promise, MOFs have not achieved widespread use due to a lack of large-scale manufacturing synthesis processes. Researchers in the Mechanical Read More

The summer 2022 issue of Valve Magazine includes a comprehensive overview of the direct sealing diaphragm valve technology that is at the core of Equilibar’s patented devices. Written by Equilibar founder Jeff Jennings, the article explains the background of this unique method of fluid control and describes how it is capable of providing robust back Read More

The ability to handle extreme temperatures is one of the benefits of the dome-loaded multiple orifice design of Equilibar® valves and regulators. Each component of these devices–the body, O-ring, diaphragm, and bolts–can be made from virtually any material, which means they are infinitely customizable. As a result, the superior precision, instantaneous adjustment and frictionless operation Read More

Landfills across the world are filled with organic materials that release a mixture of gases as they decompose. This landfill gas (LFG) is roughly equal parts carbon dioxide and methane plus a few minor components. In years past, LFG was often released to the atmosphere or burned off using a flare system. If the LFG Read More
