New two-step process detects food fraud
The Purdue team has developed a patent-pending two-step process to prevent the alteration of food, which can happen anywhere along the global supply chain.
A record rate for harnessing geothermal heat
Fracking technology employed by the oil and gas industry was used to successfully drill the first horizontal well pair for commercial geothermal production.
Study: Beer made with microwave-dried rice comparable to beer manufactured with air-dried rice
The team performed a brewing experiment to determine if rice dried with industrial microwave technology impacted the wort — or sweet water — that is transformed into beer following the addition of hops and yeast.
Sourcing steam from a hybrid solar-sand storage system
Use of both a photovoltaic system coupled to sand-based thermal storage and solar thermal energy separately can economically provide steam to industrial facilities.
Converting air velocity measurements to volumetric flow rates
Understand the various formulas and technical definitions involved to accurately convert an air velocity measurement to a volumetric flow rate.
New hydrogen tech promises to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from food and beverage industry
The WVU team has developed its prototype flexible fuel furnace that burns pure hydrogen to produce hot water and steam for product processing.
KSB Group introduces new pneumatic quarter-turn actuators
Applications covered by the actuators include water treatment, wastewater treatment, power generation, general industry, refinery engineering and shipbuilding.
DOE delivers funding for direct air capture demos
These two projects are expected to remove more than 2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually from the atmosphere.
BMW plant steers toward sustainable heating services
Reduced reliance on fossil fuels in pursuit of decarbonization goals is the impetus behind a biomass-based process heating project planned by the BMW Group Plant Dingolfing in Germany.
Watch how urine and sweat form a circular water economy on the ISS
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) recently achieved a water recovery rate of 98% by recycling urine and sweat.

Cosen Saws will showcase new and original industrial metal cutting band saws at Booth A5126.
Video: Bioremediation solution targets 1,4-dioxane in groundwater
The portable system has been demonstrated to degrade 99% of 1,4-dioxane, a pervasive synthetic industrial chemical that is completely miscible in contaminated groundwater.
An improved adsorbent for cesium capture
Dittmarite-type magnesium phosphates offer high cesium adsorption capacities.
Efficient water treatment with air-trapping membranes
Pressure-driven distillation through air-trapping hydrophobic membranes is proving to be a superior water purification option relative to conventional heat-driven membrane distillation systems.
Low-cost desalination pairs redox tech and electrodialysis
The economical water purification system separates out salt and other impurities with an electrified version of dialysis.
Alfa Laval introduces new hygienic valves for enhanced product safety and process efficiency
The Unique Mixproof valves, when used with Alfa Laval ThinkTop, contribute to enhanced sustainability. They eliminate unnecessary product loss and deliver significant savings in water and CIP media consumption, reducing the total cost of ownership and minimizing environmental impact in the process industries.
Watson-Marlow advances polymer metering capabilities with the new Qdos 60 PU pump
Polymers play a crucial role in coagulation and dewatering processes during sludge treatment. Effective dewatering reduces the bulk of sludge, leading to significant cost savings in storage and disposal. To meet regulatory requirements for efficient sludge dewatering, accurate and reliable polymer metering is essential.
ABB introduces a new motor for challenging industrial applications
