Fast Flow Control Using Alicat Instruments and a Backpressure Regulator
The combined specialities of two our partners has resulted in a product solution that truly extends the boundaries of what is possible within process control. By combining an Alicat CODA Coriolis device with an Equilibar dome loaded control valve it is now possible to fulfil extreme service applications.
Operating Principle of Equilibar Back Pressure Regulators
The only moving part within an Equilibar is a supple diaphragm thereby enabling frictionless operation without hysteresis or cracking pressure. Because it is dome-loaded, the balance of forces provides highly reliable, stable back-pressure control. At the same time, the multiple orifice design ensures a huge turn-down range (an ultra-wide flow range) typically 100 times wider than traditional regulators or valves.
Simplified Gas Line Configuration for Bioreactors and Bioprocess Systems
An example of how to reduce cost and complexity for gas inputs utilizing high controllable range mass flow control.
As the need for even more potent and specific pharmaceuticals grows, Pharma manufacturers have turned to Biologics to meet the increasing needs to solve complex and currently untreatable disease conditions (including cancer and myriad genetic diseases).
Gas Flow Control - Cost Versus Specification Balancing
Within the field of gas mass flow control there are several manufacturers vying to supply their equipment into industry. Each have their own strengths, and each have their own weaknesses, although all have their merits within their chosen industry sector or application segment. An alternative view is to take a given flow control process and then apply the best, most cost effective, technique or solution within the constraints of cost:specification balancing.

How does a Turbine Flow Meter work?
Ever wondered about the inner workings of a Turbine Flow Meter and how they measure so accurately? We have written this article which you may find useful.
How does a Rotameter work?
A rotameter is a form of variable area flow meter which has a simplistic operation whereby a liquid or gas passes through a tapered tube. In order for this gas to pass through the tube it must first raise a float held within the tube. When a rotameter is used with a liquid the...
