Benefits of industrial wastewater treatment using direct steam injection
A DSI system can rapidly and accurately maintain temperatures for processing difficult materials, such as wastewater, and thereby increase the efficiency and reliability of the anaerobic digestion system.
Doping process boosts solar thin-film efficiency
The technology brings the attainment of voltages over 1 volt and efficiencies of 25% in cadmium telluride closer to reality.
Low shear mixing of highly viscous materials
Ross double planetary mixers are capable of processing highly viscous substances and composite materials with uncompromised shear-sensitivity, due in part to a new high viscosity blade design.
Graphene water filter built with bacteria kills bacteria
The anti-fouling membrane is composed of bacterial nanocellulose and reduced graphene oxide.
Reducing fuel costs in process ovens and dryers
Many manufacturing processes use chemical solvents to produce products. As a result, hot air dryers are frequently used to evaporate those solvents.
Lee Plug expansion plugs
Lee Plug expansion plugs seal fluid passages without the use of O-rings, threads or sealants.
Funding for Canada’s first geothermal power plant
Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced $25.6 million in funding for a 5 megawatt (MW) geothermal plant in the southeastern Canadian province of Saskatchewan as part of a project led by Deep Earth Energy Production Corp.
Fluidized-bed technology improves propylene yields from PDH units
K-Pro improves propylene yields by converting low-value olefinic, paraffinic or mixed streams with elevated propane concentrations into higher value olefins.
