This article takes a look at a technology that can reduce and eradicate odour emissions. 27 March 2009
Ken Sutherland looks at the characteristics of depth filtration, at the range of equipment used to implement the filtration process, and at how it is used, with a special look at biotechnological applications. 23 March 2009
Hal Alper and H. Parthasarathy from Mycelx Technologies Corporation look at the problem of ‘oily mists' – secondary aerosols found in a range of industries that can significantly decrease air quality and which require specialised filter technology to be removed. 18 March 2009
The Harnaschpolder wastewater treatment plant, based in the Netherlands and run by Veolia, is a great example of a modern filtration system with a look to the future. Filtration+Separation visited the plant to find out how it operates. 18 March 2009
Until recently the nuclear industry in the United States and parts of Western Europe has been dormant or in decline. At the same time, nuclear capacity has been expanding in Eastern Europe and Asia. We examine the part that filtration technology can play in the nuclear industry, and the future of this market. 18 March 2009
Lon Edelman of Kimberley-Clark believes that filter media is no longer just a commodity, and that its true value can be determined by life cycle costing. This article looks at the evolution of filter media in the air sector, with a particular focus on North America. 18 March 2009
Engineers set out to design a cartridge filter that could work efficiently to provide compressed air to international quality standards. The design involved looking at critical areas, such as air flow management, filtration media selection and construction and the efficient removal of coalesced liquid. 04 March 2009
A long with black coal, natural gas and nuclear power, one of the most important sources of energy is brown coal. But one of its by-products, gypsum, has to be dealt with in an environmentally friendly way before it can be re-used. That's where GKD's filter belts and meshes come in. 04 March 2009
The city of Atlanta is growing rapidly, which has led to increasing waste gases being emitted from wastewater plants. Following vociferous complaints from residents living near these plants, clean air specialist Purafil was called upon to install temporary and permanent contamination control units to remove the unpleasant odours. 03 March 2009
