WHITE PAPERS AND CASE STUDIES

• City Expands Use Of Advanced Vacuum Feeders To Solve Reliability And Maintenance Problems For WTP Chemical Feeds

  A municipal water quality manager reports that original use of advanced vacuum feeders for application of sodium hypochlorite (hypo), for improved reliability and reduced maintenance costs versus less advanced vacuum feeders, has now been supplemented with their deployment for phosphoric acid feed, replacing metering pumps. Still further application, for caustic feed, is now being tested.

• Abbottstown Retrofitted A Flow-Through System With An AquaSBR® System To Meet Stringent Effluent Requirements

  The Abbottstown-Paradise Joint Sewer Authority was incorporated in 1973 and utilized a continuous flow activated sludge system with an average daily design flow of 0.21 MGD. At that time the plant was only required to reduce total suspended solids (TSS) and effuent ammonia to required levels to serve the area population of about 2000. Due to urban growth and increased storm flow runoffs, the plant was in need of an expansion and upgrade by the late 1990s. 

• Key Concepts Driving The Future Of Single-Use In Biopharma Production

  This article discusses four topics related to single-use bioprocessing which are commonly cited by end users as amenable to future development. 

• POS Company Boosts Protection, Customer Retention With Endpoint Protection Solution

  AHT takes pride in offering its clients current and relevant solutions that help them run their businesses more effectively and cost-efficiently. In this vein, AHT realized it needed to upgrade and modernize the antivirus (AV) protection it provided to customers. A significant number of AHT’s clients were still running Windows XP, which made the AV product (ESET) they relied on increasingly ineffective at protecting them from malware. 

• Modular Bioprocessing Alleviates Drug Manufacturing Woes

  Building a bioprocessing facility is usually a complicated process and requires partnering with not only drug developers, but also many different experts in various industries.

• Quality Assurance In Additive Production

  Whether in research or in production, the laser parameters must be checked regularly. For this purpose, Fraunhofer Research Institution for Additive Manufacturing Technologies IAPT generally turns to the Ophir BeamWatch AM, which measures the laser beam without contact, is compact enough to be used inside the production chamber, and delivers measurement results quickly. This case study covers the full story.

• Drop-In Purification For Removal Of Aggregates From Antibody Therapeutics

  A client's product contained high aggregate levels following affinity capture. Chromatography helped, but product loss in elution buffers and stat in-process assays ensued. Here's how they solved the problem.

• Smoke Signals – One Plant’s Secret For Assuring Aseptic Control

  Airflow visualization testing, conducted as part of a routine review program, can help assure that aseptic filling areas remain under a state of proper control.

• Retrofitting Malta Desalination Plants With Thin Film Nanocomposite (TFN) SWRO Membrane

  Malta is an archipelago of three islands situated in the Mediterranean Sea, around fifty miles south of Sicily. There are no rivers of any significance on the islands, and the sparse annual rainfall is only about 500 mm. There is a water deficit in Malta. It occurs especially in summer when there is a great demand from the farmers for their irrigation and from the tourism sector.

• How Much Will Your Pharmaceutical Powder Screw Feeder Cost?

  An efficient feeding system can offer significant return on investment thanks to higher accuracy and better control, despite the higher initial capital investment.

• Fluid Bed Granulation And Melt Granulation In Pharma Manufacturing

  Affording superior reproducibility and control than other granulation techniques, fluid bed granulation and melt granulation can be tightly regulated to produce uniform material with a specified particle size.

• Simplified 400-Gbps Cabling Deployment Solutions With Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches

  With the ever-expanding bandwidth needs that virtualization and cloud technologies have applied to the data center network, staying ahead of the curve is extremely important to maintain a competitive advantage. This document introduces products from Cisco and Panduit that address the associated needs. This document also maps the logical designs to the physical layout and displays those products deployed within the data center network.
