The FlexFill assembly enables single-use biocontainer transfer. It provides a convenient way to aseptically transfer small bottled volumes of cell culture media, sera, reagents, supplements, buffers, and microcarriers to a bioreactor. It is delivered sterile, and is available in volumes from 500 mL to 6 L. Assemblies can be customized to support aseptic connectivity with a host of fitting and tubing options to allow for a seamless integration with the process.

Nunc roller bottles for adherent cell culture applications are now available in glycol-modified polyethylene terphthalate (PETG) and polystyrene (PS). InVitro PETG roller bottles withstand freezing and thawing and come with either a smooth or pleated internal surface. TufRol PS roller bottles feature vertical pleats for easy emptying, and are indented to allow single-handed manipulation. The TufRol bottles can be used with polystyrene Nunc T-flasks and cell factory systems to create an integrated bioprocess.

Aeration basins are an excellent way to reduce the nutrient load during water and waste-water treatment, but the energy costs of such systems can be high. The Instrumentation for Aeration Control Package provides all of the sensors and transmitters that water- and wastewater-treatment engineers need to gain better control over the efficiency and economics of the aeration basin in a single package. The instrumentation measures dissolved oxygen, suspended solids, temperature, air flowrates, air pressure, water level, ammonium, pH, nitrates, and thermal mass in the aeration basin.

The Hydraulic Fracturing Water Analysis Kit provides onsite results of key water analyses during oil-and-gas and enhanced-oil-recovery operations. It is useful for evaluating the quality of source water, fracturing fluid, flowback water, produced water, and drilling fluids. The kit comes in an easy-to-use, rugged, portable case, and includes a DR/890 colorimeter, HQ40d digital meter, a digital titrator, and reagents for such parameters as alkalinity, bacteria, barium, chloride, conductivity, hardness, iron, pH, and sulfate; additional parameters can be added as needed.

This company’s mobile water-treatment services use electro-coagulation technology to remove suspended solids and heavy metals from produced and flowback water obtained during oilfield operations. The treated water is suitable for reuse onsite for drilling or hydraulic fracturing, conserving freshwater use, reducing transportation and disposal costs, and enabling regulatory compliance. The mobile treatment train can be customized based on analysis of the unique characteristics of each well or other water source.

By protecting liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LCMS) columns from particulate build-up, the Acrodisc MS syringe filter reduces the frequency and cost of column replacement and enables more-consistent LCMS performance. The filter contains a water-wettable polytetrafluoroethylene membrane in a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) housing. These materials offer excellent chemical resistance, good particulate retention, and minimal protein adsorption, and they allow the filter to be used with either organic or aqueous solvents.

The HGA-S-CX1300 system is an innovative, high-temperature steam generator that produces high-quality, superheated steam at 1 atm pressure in an instant. Models that produce steam at temperatures in excess of 1,300°C are available. The device uses patented heating elements and refractories and has a programmable control panel. A small footprint makes it suitable for laboratory and R&D settings with steam flows from less than 1 kg/h to more than 10 kg/h.

DFX electric heat exchangers provide fast, safe, and effective heating of liquids and gases. Unlike traditional electric circulation heaters, the DFX Series heater elements are isolated from the fluid flow path. The heater elements and a coiled, seamless, Type 316 stainless steel flow tube are embedded in a lightweight aluminum casting. This design is said to be ideal for heating deionized water, solvents, sterilization gases, and other substances that are prone to contamination.

The Retenu stormwater-roughing filtration system is designed for use at industrial facilities that produce a large amount of sediment carried away by stormwater runoff. The fully automated, chemical-free system can serve as a standalone filter to remove heavy sediment loads, or it can be used as a pretreatment step to capture the majority of the sediment load upstream of a more-advanced filter. It uses storm-water for backwashing, so it requires no external water source, and it is available in a range of capacities.

DriBoss high-efficiency evaporators and their ancillary components, such as pumps, valves, controls, sensors, etc., are designed to withstand the caustic and corrosive environments that typify many mining, oil and gas, and water treatment applications. The evaporators are available in water-fracturing and atomized-mist designs.
