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
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
A video recently filmed in the Equilibar laboratory demonstrates a new method of maintaining consistent flow control over a wide range of flow rates–typically 100:1. This is accomplished by using an Equilibar® back pressure regulator with a pilot pressure controller and a flow meter in a PID (proportional-integral-derivative) control loop. This approach is especially useful 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
Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is used throughout the chemical industry as an environmentally friendly oxidizing agent. Unfortunately, the most common method for its production requires significant energy consumption and also generates waste. Direct Synthesis is a newer process being explored to produce hydrogen peroxide more sustainably and economically. Dr. Weifeng Tu and his team are researching Read More
In 2017, as part of our tenth anniversary celebration, we’ve been honored to remember some of the clients and partners who have helped us become pressure control experts. Integrated Lab Solutions (ILS) of Berlin performs simulation, design, construction and chemical testing work on custom- and standard chemical R&D testing units. For many years, ILS has been Read More
In modern biopharma manufacturing, water-for-injection (WFI) point-of-use (POU) control systems provide sterile, temperature-controlled water to be dispensed at a variety of locations throughout a plant. Many POU methods rely on level and mass measurements, which typically require operator oversight during dispensing. A newer option relies on flow measurement, which can streamline cleanroom processes and simplify Read More
