A guide to remedy water system stagnation in low-occupancy buildings
Stagnation within building water systems becomes a problem during periods of low or no occupancy, as is being experienced now during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Multi-stage mag-drive centrifugal pumps provide more pressure at low flows
Applications for the leak-free pumps include chemical transfer and processing, electroplating, water and waste water transfer, circuit board manufacture and pharmaceuticals.
Tough carbon-flourine bonds broken by photo-powered nanocatalyst
This power catalyst could help clean up a certain group of long-lasting environmental pollutants.
Carbon nanotube porins boost desalination efficiency
Carbon nanotube porins, with pores just 0.8 nm in diameter, can provide an efficient salt ion removal alternative to commercial desalination membranes.
Innovative heat trace solutions for thermal maintenance
In many industrial and commercial applications, a sufficient drop in temperature, especially when combined with precipitation, means unacceptable consequences.
Flow meter designed for high-pressure hydrogen dispensing
The meter can be deployed to contain costs in large-scale custody transfer operations, such as public transportation systems, where hydrogen is used to power hybrid bus engines.
