Be sure to check out Alan Black's comprehensive article on plastic valves in the summer issue of VALVE MAGAZINE. The article gives an overview of the pros and cons of using plastics when designing fluid control systems for modern manufacturing. While modern plastic valves are able to perform in service conditions that would have been impossible just a few decades ago, some of them also create environmental problems related to forever chemicals and plastic waste. Solving these problems is an active area of research that we are watching closely. Our newest blog has a summary and link to the article.

RESEARCH SERIES APPRECIATION POST: The unique dome-loaded multiple orifice technology of Equilibar's back pressure regulators is especially well suited to solve critical performance problems for laboratory and gas analysis systems. Our research series is popular for applications such as catalysis research and reservoir core analysis, with several different trim styles and diaphragm materials available. The Research Series back pressure regulators work through an incredibly wide range of flow, pressure, and temperature. Materials include Hastelloy, SS316L, PTFE, and FFKM (Kalrez), to name a few. Our engineers enjoy working with researchers around the world to find solutions to make the world a better place and are happy to answer questions. See our Research Series page for more information: https://lnkd.in/g6RhxXS #research #laboratory #catalysis #pressurecontrol

A thin, flexible diaphragm is the only moving part in an Equilibar back pressure regulator or valve, resulting in an elegant simplicity that offers advantages for the most challenging fluid control systems. Choosing the optimal material for the diaphragm is one of the most critical decisions when selecting the best product for a particular application. Together our engineers have decades of experience in making the best selection.

The summer issue of Valve is out in the wild. We revisited VMA's inaugural Hydrogen Valve Summit with our cover story about how the infrastructure already in place for gas supports hydrogen, making an easier transition. We also have a case study about an interesting valve application in a mine in Australia. And our always popular Valve Basics covers plastic valves. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Many thanks to our guests who visited Equilibar to celebrate our 2024 President’s “E Star” Award with us. The “E Star” Award recognizes at least four years of additional export growth by American companies that previously received the President’s “E” Award, which is the highest recognition a U.S. entity can receive for making a significant contribution to the expansion of U.S. exports. Pictured are: Kye Laughter, Blake Jackman, David Reed, Julie Detmering, Jonathan Szucs (with the North Carolina District Export Council, NCDEC), Georges Neuenschwander, and Ashley C. Swanger. Read more about the award and David and Julie's trip to Washington DC on our news blog. Link here: https://lnkd.in/erZiUifT

A PEEK INTO PRODUCTION! This beautiful octet of FDO sanitary back pressure regulators awaits shipment on Equilibar's production floor. Featuring Equilibar’s dome-loaded multiple orifice technology, they are able to deliver instantaneous control, frictionless operation, superior precision, and exceptionally wide flow rate range. Equilibar sanitary back pressure regulators offer advantages for sanitary fluid control applications in consumer products and biopharmaceutical production such as gradient chromatography /inline conditioning, tangential flow filtration, and liquid dosing. They can be used for pressure control or automated flow control. Learn more here ➡ https://lnkd.in/ewvH5Gxc ⬅ #pharmaceuticalengineering #valves #fluidcontrol #automation

What a treat to read this blog about the Friends of the Smokies Trails Forever July hike along Noland Creek! We're proud to be a sponsor of this program that raises funds for restoration projects in the park. https://lnkd.in/eGaeA_v8 #conservation #GreatSmokyMountains #Smokies #NationalParks

One advantage of using a dome-loaded back pressure regulator is the freedom to choose the type of dome setpoint option for each individual situation. Equilibar provides a complete solution for electronic back pressure control by offering a selection of electronic pressure regulators to control the dome setpoint signal. This set-up also offers ease of automation, which is becoming more and more important for modern processes.

Equilibar's Ryan Heffner, PE sits on the continuous manufacturing committee at the summit and reports that a lot of exciting ideas are being explored in the field of single-use manufacturing. #Biopharmaceutical #PharmaceuticalEngineering #Valves

We've enjoyed having Kathleen Kidd as our engineering intern this summer! Kathleen is a mechanical engineering student in the Clemson University College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences Breakthrough Scholars program. At Equilibar, Kathleen's work included researching new methods of automated control for our Equilibar flow control valves and using automated flow techniques to control temperature. We are grateful for opportunities to mentor young engineers and scientists and to learn from their fresh perspectives. Please join us in wishing Kathleen all the best as summer comes to a close and a new semester begins. #STEMeducation #mentoring #automation #valves
