Wastewater-borne antibiotic-resistant bacteria no match for graphene
Microspheres encased in graphene destroy antibiotic-resistant bacteria and free-floating antibiotic resistance genes in wastewater treatment plants.
Successful test of a hydrogen blend turbine for gas networks
The turbine successfully demonstrated technology that can be used to compress and move hydrogen fuel blends through existing transmission pipeline networks.
Membrane material can reduce emissions, energy use in oil refining
The spirocyclic polymer applied to a robust substrate to form membranes separates complex hydrocarbon mixtures through the application of pressure rather than heat.
Video: HI expands access to pump system training resources
The Hydraulic Institute (HI) Pump Systems Matter Basic Training platform is now available to non-member organizations.

Bronkhorst’s compact Coriolis mass flow meter empowers ORNL research
The suitability of a flow meter technology for a particular application depends on several factors, such as accuracy, cost, flow rate range, head loss, operating requirements and maintenance.
Advantages of on-demand air compressors and blowers
Although most compressors and blowers have a life cycle greater than 13 years, it is not always convenient for companies to purchase fixed equipment to meet fluctuating air demand.
Peristaltic pumps for combustible environments and media
When pumps are required in potentially explosive environments, for such applications as fuel transfer or chemical processing, personnel safety and facility investments can only be ensured by an explosion-proof pump.
