| Air / Gas Mass Flow Meter Improves Wastewater Treatment Processing Efficiency | One of the most common processes in wastewater treatment is the activated sludge method, which biologically treats the wastewater through the use of large aeration basins. This process requires the pumping of compressed air into the aeration basins where a diffuser system ensures the air is distributed evenly for optimum treatment. The energy needed to provide compressed air is a significant cost in the operation of a wastewater treatment plant. | 09/27/2011 |
| Article: From Landfill To The Tomato Plant - Purified Biogas Powers Greenhouse Operation | The Board of Waste Management for the Mauricie region of Quebec, Canada, known as RGMRM, needed a gas scrubber to remove the highly corrosive levels of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) at its municipal landfill. The aim was to purify the landfill gas for a greenhouse on site, which also is RGMRM's customer. By Eco-Tec Inc. | 07/12/2011 |
| Technical Paper: Hydrogen Sulphide Removal From Industrial Gases Using Advanced, Modified Claus Technology | A number of commercial processes are available for removing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from natural gas, tail gas from the Claus Process (containing un-reactive sulfur compounds, particularly CS2 and COS), coke-oven gas, pyrolysis gas and solution tail gas from heavy oil production. These processes are often limited by economics and technology. By James W. Smith, Ph.D., P. Eng. Senior Technical Advisor, Eco-Tec Inc | 02/24/2011 |
| Datasheet: Thermo Scientific microPHAZIR PC | Thermo Scientific microPHAZIR PC is a handheld NIR material analyzer designed for rapid on-site material identification. The 2.75 lb (1.25 kg) analyzer is battery powered and completely self-contained for portable analysis. | 11/24/2010 |
| Article: Verification Methods For 198 Common Raw Materials Using A Handheld Raman Spectrometer | Pharmaceutical manufacturers are seeking ways to maintain and improve product quality while reducing manufacturing costs, including in the analytical testing of raw materials. Movement toward 100% inspection of raw materials as well as increased production volumes and the desire for lean manufacturing are additional motivations to find more cost-effective testing technologies.

| Article: Leaning QC: Lonza Rolls Out Raman For Materials ID | As part of an effort to Lean its raw material QC process, Lonza Biologics' Portsmouth, New Hampshire facility evaluated several new spectroscopic technologies—Raman, NIR, and FTIR handheld or portable devices—for rapidly verifying incoming raw materials.

| Article: Chemical Identity Testing By Remote-Based Dispersive Raman Spectroscopy | This paper discusses the use of handheld Raman spectrometers for the development of qualitative chemical identification methods for a number of well-known pharmaceutical products (tablets and capsules). Methods were developed on two different instruments and transferred to a third instrument for application of the methodology to independently obtained drug products. By DAVID E. BUGAY and ROBERT C. BRUSH | 09/01/2010 |
| Application Note: Satisfying GMP With Handheld Near-Infrared Analyzers In The Pharmaceutical Industry | Pharmaceutical manufacturing is a highly regulated industry as manufacturers of excipients, actives and finished forms need to conform to GMP. For example, in the European Union, EudraLex provides guidance for GMP practices and European Pharmocopeia (Ph. Eur.) recommends instrumentation and analysis protocols.

| Application Note: Transferring Spectral Libraries From Reference Instruments To The PHAZIR | Transfer of spectra used for calibrations is frequently used when large collections of spectra are difficult to reproduce. The effort to reproduce the calibration set is prohibitive or the samples that comprise the calibration set are ephemeral. By F. G. Haibach | 09/01/2010 |
| White Paper: What Does Your Plant Spend On Raw Material Identity Verification? The Answer May Surprise You | Drug manufacturers must verify the identity of their incoming raw materials prior to release into the production process. For some, meeting this requirement involves extracting and testing samples from a small fraction of their incoming containers; for others it means testing every single package. As we trace both the apparent and hidden costs of laboratory-based identity testing, the answer may surprise you. By Thermo Fisher Scientific (formerly Ahura Scientific and Polychromix) | 09/01/2010 |
