Industry news

In the first article, Malvern Instruments look at how, from the starting point of an appropriate wet sensor, laser diffraction systems can be engineered to deliver to the needs of different process applications. It includes a case study involving the control of an emulsification unit for the production of oil and water emulsions illustrates what can be achieved and the benefits delivered.

A second article details how Zementwerk Berlin GmbH & Co KG has been using Insitec on-line laser diffraction particle sizing by Malvern Instruments, to optimize cement production for more than a decade.

This collaborative article reviews the company’s experience of real-time particle sizing, examining the implementation of closed loop control and the economic benefits that advanced control strategies have delivered. These include an increase in plant throughput of 2%. The use of on-line analysis in the production of ‘environmentally friendly’ slag cements is a particular focus.

NanotechnologyNanotechnology, or nanotech, is an engineering technique using molecular scale functional systems. Applications of nanotechnology include medicine and medical devices, electronics, air and water purification, food science and energy production.Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters. Find the best particle characterization instruments in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Non-Destructive TechniquesNon-destructive techniques (NDT) describes a variety of analytical techniques used to evaluate the properties of a material. Common methods include ultrasonic, magnetic-particle, liquid penetrant, radiographic, remote visual inspection (RVI), and eddy-current testing. NDT is regularly used in forensic engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, systems engineering, aeronautical engineering, and medicine.Process OptimizationProcess optimization involves improving the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and quality of processes in various industries, including manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology.
