On October 1, Equilibar launched the IC Series, a new Industrial Collection of valves for back pressure, vacuum, and flow control applications with high throughput. Featuring our dome-loaded multiple-orifice technology, these valves and regulators provide best-in-class performance in a practical, compact size. They are easily customized for a variety of applications and are well suited Read More

Equilibar engineers are pleased to offer new design options to provide superior fluid control for applications that involve both high pressures and extremely harsh chemistries. These valves and regulators feature a metal cradle that encircles and supports a polymer body. The two parts work together to provide chemical compatibility and safety for applications with severe Read More

The simple design of Equilibar® valves and regulators allows for almost infinite customization so that optimal materials of construction can be selected for each application. We’re excited to introduce a new conductive diaphragm that expands our offerings of ATEX compliant materials. Background Equipment that must comply with requirements for potentially explosive atmospheres must use conductive Read More

Maintaining the purity and integrity of biological substances is one of the most important aspects of bioprocessing applications. While sanitary pumps are designed to minimize contamination risks, pump push-through flow remains a significant challenge. Preventing pump push-through is key to maintaining quality. Pump push-through flow occurs when head pressure at the pump inlet pushes fluids Read More

Modern devices such as smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles often use lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries to store energy. These batteries work by moving lithium ions between two electrodes— one positive and one negative—during charging and recharging cycles to facilitate the storage and release of energy. Battery manufacturing is a complex process. One of the first steps Read More

When people open their kitchen cabinet, they probably don’t think about how the icing was drizzled on their favorite cookies or how a bottle of apple juice was filled. They most likely assume that their cans of vegetables will be good to eat for months and their bags of snacks will stay fresh. People don’t Read More

As Application Engineer for Equilibar, Connor Kerlin brings a strong skillset in areas such as high-speed diagnostics, prototyping and project management, much of which he developed while working as an Experimental Lead at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ( LLNL). “I’ve always enjoyed making things, whether that was woodworking or coming up with a better way Read More

Each March, Equilibar conducts an annual survey of scholarly articles to learn more about how our technology is used to enable scientific progress. We’re happy to report that since March of 2024, approximately 120 scientific articles have cited our devices. These papers describe experimental work being done not only at US universities, but also at Read More

In modern biopharma manufacturing, water-for-injection (WFI) point-of-use (POU) control systems provide sterile, temperature-controlled water to be dispensed at a variety of locations throughout a plant. Many POU methods rely on level and mass measurements, which typically require operator oversight during dispensing. A newer option relies on flow measurement, which can streamline cleanroom processes and simplify Read More

Ammonia cracking is a chemical process that breaks down ammonia into its component elements of nitrogen and hydrogen. The process typically involves high temperatures and the use of catalysts. While it is used in a variety of industrial processes, ammonia cracking is attracting more and more interest lately because it offers practical benefits for both Read More
