Gas blending systems are used to combine various gases for specialised applications. These mixtures, or blends, are usually expressed by a molar fraction as a percentage or as a parts-per unit. So, what goes into a gas blending system?

Temperature is an essential part of many processes within the food industry. This is evident in the uninterrupted cold chain, a sufficiently high temperature during processing, and a constant temperature fermentation, however there are many other processes where temperature is essential also.

The chemical industry relies on efficient and safe processes to meet its production requirements. Most chemical reactions are either exothermic and release heat, or endothermic and absorb heat, therefore reliable temperature control application is an essential role in the chemical industry. Find out more about the role of temperature control in the chemical industry.

Chemists are searching for new approaches to increase the quality of polystyrene production, from increasing efficiency to lowering costs and waste, and continuous flow polymerization may well be the solution. Moving to small tubes and glass microreactor chips instead of switching to a larger-scale bulk process to increase efficiency may seem counter-intuitive, but the additional control that researchers are gaining with lab scale flow chemistry equipment offers a convincing reason to change your mind about scale up.

Continuous Flow Biocatalysis is quickly gaining traction among chemists, with applications in the production of fine chemicals, drugs, biotherapeutics, and biofuels to name a few. This is reflected in the increased knowledge of these techniques in industry and academia, as well as the implementation of flow techniques in modern laboratories. So, why should you perform continuous flow biocatalysis?

Organic synthesis has been the main priority of all studies carried out on flow chemistry equipment, and the benefits and reasons to perform flow chemistry are now well known and recorded. It is worth noting that these advantages can also be extended to other fields such as biofuels, petrochemistry, and nanoparticle synthesis.

Even though electrochemistry offers tremendous benefits to synthetic organic chemists, it is rarely used in modern labs because of the lack of suitable equipment that enables non-electrochemists to perform this chemistry in a ‘convenient’ manner. Therefore, chemists will need an easier, more user-friendly way to access this technique for it to become more widely accepted as a routine procedure.
