81. Filtration Challenges In Flavor Production 5/28/2021

    While adjusting to the latest consumer trends is key, flavor houses must also meet requirements for clarity and purity. Selection of the right filtration technology is critical in achieving these goals as flavor producers must overcome multiple challenges.

82. The Multiple Uses For Heat Exchangers In Brewing 5/20/2021

    There are numerous uses for heat exchangers in breweries — from cooling, pasteurizing, and fermenting products to efficiently dealing with waste streams such as yeast slurry. Compared to other methods of heating, heat exchangers can be much more energy-efficient, providing both environmental and economic benefits.

83. Design Considerations For Low-Pressure Air Blowers In Wastewater Treatment 5/19/2021

    The basic function of a wastewater treatment (WWT) system is to accelerate the natural process that purifies water. And low-pressure air blowers are used in WWT for two key purposes that help accomplish this goal: aeration and agitation.

    One of the fastest growing areas of innovation in the food industry is plant-based proteins. Learn about this trend and how product inspection programs can adapt.

86. Harnessing 20 Years Of Evolution In Wastewater Bioprocess Aeration 4/6/2021

    Cost-efficient aeration still remains an underlying challenge. This Q&A article provides a look at how the industry arrived at today’s opportunities and where it’s headed for the future.

87. The Role Of Aeration In Optimal Yeast And Enzyme Production 4/5/2021

    Installing the most appropriate blower equipment in the process can enhance yeast and enzyme production, minimize energy costs, guarantee food safety, and avoid costly failures.

88. Air Quality And Air Treatment In Compressed Air Systems 3/26/2021

    Compressed air quality is mission critical in manufacturing. When determining the right air treatment components for a compressed air system, there is a great deal to keep in mind. In this paper, we discuss compressed air quality and how it impacts operating costs and production. 

89. Over-Sized And Under-Utilized: An Epidemic 3/26/2021

    With over ten thousand air systems audits under our belt, we've seen it all and learned a few things. One of the most common problems we see is that most systems have far more capacity than needed. On average, users operate at 44% of peak capacity. It's so common, we'd say it is an epidemic, and even our own customers are not immune despite our efforts to inoculate with education. This article takes a look at some actual examples of over-sized systems and the costs that resulted. Learn how to properly plan for a compressed air system and what your options are with an existing system.
