Water Purification Equipment Design

Design and function of biomimetic multilayer water purification membranes

Multilayer architectures in water purification membranes enable increased water throughput, high filter efficiency, and high molecular loading capacity. However, the preparation of membranes with well-organized multilayer structures, starting from the nanoscale to maximize filtration efficiency, remains a challenge. We report a complete strategy to fully realize a novel biomaterial-based multil...

Mechanical Design of Mixing Equipment

Mixing equipment must be designed for mechanical and process operation. Although mixer design begins with a focus on process requirements, the mechanical design is essential for successful operation. Usually, a competent manufacturer of mixing equipment will take responsibility for the mechanical design. However, process conditions, such as impeller operation near a liquid surface, can impose s...

Water Purification in Thailand

Water is a necessary part of life, but without proper filtration, it could cause problems such as illness or death. While citizens of developed countries may take the water that flows from their taps for granted, many parts of the world do not have access to clean water. A small village in Thailand called Nong Bua is one such community that is hindered by the quality of their water supply. Nong...

Rinse water for heat labile endoscopy equipment.

The increase in use of endoscopic procedures in diagnosis and surgical treatment has underlined the need for safe cleaning methods for these instruments. While decontamination has been reviewed by several Working Groups in Britain, the problems relating to the prevention of contamination of rinse water and its monitoring procedures have not been addressed previously. This report from the Joint ...
