Equilibar back pressure regulator to provide stable low pressure control

  • oxidation of hydrocarbons at university of stuttgart

The Institute of Chemical Technology at Germany’s University of Stuttgart is leading research efforts to find improved catalysts for the production of phthalic anhydride, a primary precursor for the production of plasticizers. Previous research in this area has been limited by the need to maintain an extremely low concentration of the o-xylene reactant (<1%) in the catalytic reactor to avoid hot spots and explosive mixtures. Stuttgart researchers have developed a new method that is able to safely incorporate higher concentrations of o-xylene, which provide more predictive results. This method successfully utilizes an Equilibar® back pressure regulator to provide stable low pressure control despite high temperatures and a wide range of conditions.

Stainless bpr for preventing pump push-through

BIOPROCESSING FOCUS: Preventing pump push-through with a BPR

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
