These modular polyethylene tank stands are designed for use with a full-drain outlet (FDO) assembly. They can be installed on any suitable flat surface to elevate polyethylene tanks 12 in. above grade, accommodating a full-drain tank without the need to pour concrete. The chemical-resistant stands are suitable for virtually all corrosive environments, and in tests have been shown to resist over 300,000 lb of crush force. Features include corrugated sidewalls for maximum support, interlocking dovetail joints to secure modular sections together, and optional wind load anchoring points.

The Spectronic 200, a new visible spectrophotometer, incorporates the latest optical and detector technologies to meet the needs of academic and industrial quality-control laboratories. This cost-effective instrument is simple to set up and use, requires little maintenance, has no moving parts, and has a small footprint. It delivers fast, full-wavelength scan data and multi-standard quantitative analysis. For users of the company’s predecessor Spectronic 20 and Genesys 20 spectro-photometers, the onboard software platform and simple user interface make upgrading easy.

The GeneDisc rapid microbiology system enables accelerated microbiological analysis for pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications. The simple-to-use, robust platform — which is based on established quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology — provides a significant time savings over traditional incubation sampling methods. This can allow materials and final products to be released more quickly, improving production efficiency and reducing inventories.

The new Highsolv P99 and Highsolv E99 solvents for organic synthesis are colorless, low-viscosity solvents with favorable toxicological properties. They are suitable for a range of pharmaceutical and fine-chemical applications, and can be used as a viable replacement for many common toxic and flammable solvents for organic syntheses, such as dichloro-methane, toluene, and others. Both have relatively high flash and boiling points, which ensures useful operating temperatures for a wide range of chemical sequences.

This family of direct-steam-injection water heaters (also referred to as direct-injection heaters) are used to rapidly and accurately heat water and water-based slurries by injecting steam directly into the fluid. They are used in a variety of industrial processing applications, including preheating of boiler feed-water, fibrous slurries (such as pulp stock and biomass), paper starch, and water used for sanitization and tank cleaning, as well as for anaerobic treatment of organic waste and a variety of other applications.

The modular PV360 axial piston pump, the latest addition to the PVplus axial piston pump family, is available for a range of heavy-duty mobile and industrial applications with operating pressures up to 5,000 psi (350 bar). This variable-displacement, 360-cm3/rev pump features a large servo piston for fast response. A patented ripple chamber technology reduces pressure and flow pulsation by 40–60% compared with similar pumps. As a result, fewer sine waves (which can loosen hydraulic connections and damage downstream components) are introduced into the system, and pump noise is reduced.

The new HemiPleat Nano dust collector filter is said to provide higher filtration efficiencies, longer service life, and lower pressure drop compared to competitive nanofiber filters. The product line is available in minimum efficiency rating value (MERV)-14 and MERV-16 efficiency options — higher than most competitive filters. A new technology is used to apply a thick layer of highly durable nanofibers to the surface of the patented HemiPleat open-pleat filter design. Open-pleat spacing allows for better utilization of the media pack, improving air flow through the cartridge.

The Model 05-SDM hybrid mill for small-media milling combines the features of a standard, wet-grinding laboratory batch mill with the ability to handle small-media milling. Advantages include simple operation, energy efficiency, rugged construction, and no expensive shaft seals to maintain. In addition, users can inspect the mill and add material at any time during the grinding cycle.

The FireBag thermal-activated gas-shutoff device automatically turns off a gas supply in the event of a fire, preventing explosions and limiting the spread of fire. When the outside temperature reaches the setoff temperature of 203–212°F (95–100°C), the metal alloy that keeps the plug and cartridge together melts, and the spring pressure pushes the plug against the gas opening to close it completely. No fire or heat detectors are required to ensure automatic interception of the gas flow. The housing and finishing are constructed from zinc-plated steel.

Combining a trailer with a steam cleaner, pressure washer, or steam generator, these mobile, self-contained cleaning units have solid steel construction and ASME-certified welds, heavy-duty leaf-spring suspension, safety chains, a wiring harness with brake lights, adjustable-height ball hitch or lunette eye, a leveling jack, and more. The systems can be customized with an enclosed, insulated trailer. In addition to mobile cleaning, the units can be used to thaw valves, tanks and piping systems to get viscous contents moving.
