Adding structure to a gas-solid fluidized-bed reactor changes the system’s hydrodynamics and can improve performance.

This analysis shows how to quantify the capital and operating differences between single-use and reusable equipment for a model biopharmaceutical process.

Single-use systems have advanced from a limited product line to several new products for a wider range of unit operations. As these technologies evolve, new size, cost, and regulatory needs continue to fuel industry growth.

Disruptive technologies, such as disposable bioreactors, metabolic ?ux models, and glycoengineered yeast, could change the face — and pace — of biomanufacturing.

Improving Biopharmaceutical Development

If thoughts of a layoff keep you up at night, stop wringing your hands and start taking action. Follow this 11-step plan to position yourself for success in these uncertain economic times.

Using double mechanical seals as part of thermoplastic pumps can prevent costly downtime and environmental damage.

Use this new correlation, which employs easy-to-solve algebraic equations to estimate gas emissivities, to simplify the design and optimization of boilers, furnaces and other combustion equipment.
