It’s year-end reflection time and we’re excited to share our TOP FIVE from ’25 compilation of items from the Equilibar news blog with you!
In January, we introduced an expansion of products in our FDO series of sanitary fluid control valves. The new FDO2 valve with ¼ inch ports and FDO3 with ⅜ inch ports were introduced to market to serve biopharma customers and others looking for superior control at lower Cv values.

An emerging area of interest related to Hydrogen Energy is ammonia cracking. While the process is used in a variety of industrial applications, ammonia cracking is attracting more and more interest because it offers practical benefits for both the storage and long-distance transport of hydrogen–unlike hydrogen, ammonia is easy to store in liquid form; moreover, the infrastructure for transporting massive quantities of ammonia already exists within the agriculture industry.

While we’ve long offered sanitary fluid control devices for the food and beverage industry, in 2025 we published a new application page dedicated to Equilibar® valves and regulators’ unique advantages for food and beverage applications. These advantages span across pressure, flow and vacuum control applications in a variety of processes, making them ideal for spray coating, bottle filling, vacuum canning, and packaging applications, among others.

Another new application page on the Equilibar website is dedicated to Lithium Ion Battery Manufacturing. Modern devices such as smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles often use lithium-ion batteries to store energy. Battery manufacturing is a complex process involving precision vacuum control in multiple steps. In many situations, traditional vacuum control options are not suitable. As a result, engineers and system designers often select alternative methods, including Equilibar’s unique direct-sealing diaphragm valve technology.

Finally, in October, we were excited to unveil our new 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 for demanding gas, liquid, and mixed phase fluid applications that involve high Valve Flow Coefficient (Cv).

This list is always fun to make because it demonstrates the diversity of fields where our technology can have a positive impact and drive innovation to make the world a better place, but it is merely a snapshot of some of our ongoing innovation. We hope you will follow along in 2026 as we introduce more of our work as Innovators Serving Innovators.
