How To Choose the Correct Peristaltic Pump in Four Steps
We summarise in four steps the considerations in choosing the correct configuration of peristaltic pump for your application.
Alicat CODA Coriolis Instruments Push The Boundaries Of Science
As a world leader within process control instrumentation Alicat Scientific are always pushing at the boundaries of science and driving the market for innovative flow solutions. One such product is “the final word” in Coriolis instrumentation. The CODA series includes Flow Meters and Flow Controllers with the latter utilising either a proportional control valve or a directly controlled pump. They can handle liquids or gases, high pressures, corrosive media and Super-critical fluids. In addition, however, there are three main reasons why engineers and scientists are choosing CODA.
Control the flow rate of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) injection into drink mixtures
A customer enquired whether a Coriolis mass flow controller would be suitable to assist in the controlling the flow rate of carbon dioxide (CO2) injection into drink mixtures. We would like to describe here why the CODA Flow Controller is an excellent product for this process. Read our article for a full description of this enquiry.
What Is The Point Of An Accuracy Statement
Manufacturers provide datasheets or specification sheets for the flow measuring devices they supply and whilst all are created with the best of intensions, they are sometimes difficult to decipher and almost always difficult to compare. In an ideal world there would be a standard method for declaring “accuracy” however in reality this is not always possible. So, in the case of Alicat mass flow meters and controllers - what is accuracy?
Bioreactor CO2 and O2 flow control using Spargers
Numerous bioreactor components and features are critical for process optimisation, including impellers for gentle mixing, baffling, spargers for gas introduction and the bioreactor shape. Here we focus on gas flow control in tandem with the use of spargers within bioreactors and discuss both technological challenges they face and possible solutions.
Handheld Laboratory Flow Meters
Portable gas flow meters make GC checks, calibrations and audits fast and easy. They fulfil a number of lab measuring functions all within the one device!
Core Analysis Back Pressure Regulator
Core analysis on rock samples are easy with the Equilibar Zero-Flow Back Pressure Regulator. This series of pressure regulator is specially designed to address the challenging requirements of the reservoir testing industry.
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).
