Application Notes & Case Studies

1. A Guide To Preparation Of Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) Solutions 11/18/2021

   Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), also known as cellulose or cellulose gum, is water-soluble and used to bind free water. Since it has a tendency to form lumps or fish-eyes when in contact with water dispersion of CMC using conventional agitators can give rise to several problems. Read how a high shear mixer can overcome those challenges.

2. Contaminant Detection In Yogurt 11/2/2021

   Rapid progress being made and both yogurt production plants means manufacturers must modernized and upgraded to meet the demands of the consumer in the Greek and international markets. Read how one yogurt manufacturer ensures product safety and brand protection by detecting contaminants of various size and materials.

3. Compressed Air For A Cleaner Future 11/1/2021

   For almost 200 years, the wastewater management sector in Portugal has had to face ever-increasing challenges, brought about in large part by the rapid population growth since the beginning of the industrialization process of the mid-19th century. This growth was compounded by rapid development of the textile industry in the north of the country, where many of the manufacturers are located in the region around the Ave River. See how Kaeser's turbo blowers helped support sewage plants in achieving their environmental goals.

4. SDOX® Units Keep Tyson Foods Operating Without Interruption 10/21/2021

   Tyson Food's regional wastewater treatment plant was in need of replacements for their mechanical and jet aeration equipment for biological treatment and nutrient removal. BlueInGreen replaced two failed blowers with two SDOX® units without disrupting operations.

5. Designing A Complete Solution To Address Condensate In The Conveying System At A Large Confectionary Operation 9/23/2021

   Condensation can present a significant challenge for food manufacturers when it comes to bringing sensitive ingredients, most notably sugar, into their plants. Even trace amounts of water can lead to caking/crystallization, thereby damaging valuable batches of the material and slowing down the pneumatic conveyance process.

6. Major Pork Producer Saves Project Money With S&L Pump Station 9/21/2021

   When a major pork producer sought cost-effective pumping solutions to one of its Kansas facilities’ wastewater system, the search led to an installation of a Smith & Loveless above-grade pump station.

7. The PI System And The Los Angeles Department Of Water And Power: A Winning Combination 8/6/2021

   The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is constantly preparing for an array of challenges ranging from droughts, wildfires, and earthquakes to aging pipes to optimizing operations such as pumps, water loss, and water quality treatment. Water utilities like LADWP are also looking for ways to improve customer service while safeguarding water storage and delivery systems.

8. Durable Solutions For Large Volume Vinegar Clarification And Stabilization 7/29/2021

   High in acid content, vinegar (especially white vinegar) is self-preserving with an almost indefinite shelf life. However, with consumer expectation for a clear product, vinegar is clarified after acetic fermentation to remove suspended solids including Acetobacter and other microorganisms. In this chemically aggressive application, these modules suffer from operational limits that may dramatically reduce service life, therefore increasing operating cost. A solution with exceptional mechanical strength, thermal and chemical stability provided a reliable and durable solution that could withstand long-term exposure to acetic acid.

9. Increasing the Value of Olive Oil With Filtration Technology 7/29/2021

   Every year, an olive oil producer dealt with a significant volume of high wax oils in their production; such oils commanded only a low market price. By implementing a specific type of filtration after settling and decantation, the customer realized excellent filtrate quality, which provided a three to four-fold increase in its commercial value.

10. Spice Is A Variety Of Life 7/29/2021

    The goal of Fuchs Group in Lower Saxony, Germany, with its precious spices and spice mixtures, is to help turn a meal into a genuine culinary event. The company cannot afford any bottlenecks or disruptions in the compressed air supply. When it was time to replace the obsolete compressors from another manufacturer due to increasingly frequent breakdowns and problems, the obvious choice was the Coburg-based system provider KAESER.
