Biosensor shines a light on pollutants

Article Abstract:

Photonic Sensor Systems Inc. of Atlanta, GA, has tested its hand-held biosensor which is intended for remote-sensing liquids and gases. The new biosensor device is said to be 100-1000 times more efficient because it is equipped with an optical chip that emits laser light which feeds back information to the photodiodes. The optical chip has a checkerboard-like appearance and has 50 partitions. Each partition is laced with a particular biological substance. Test results show that the device has detected toluene-, xylene-, ethylbenzene-, and benzene-groundwater pollution. The biosensor device is anticipated to cost $500-$1,000 each.

Shedding new light on titanium in CPI construction

Article Abstract:

Hulswitt Consultants collated data to show how titanium metal, which used to be ignored by chemical process industries (CPI), has became a standard construction material in a big number of chemical production facilities. The metal is now being used for terepthalic acid production and chosen for procedures, that use acetic and nitric acids, wet bromine gas and acetone. Compared with the common corrosion-resistant alloys, costs of the metal have considerably dropped. At the same time, fabrication and welding methods for the material have also improved.

Striving for seamless supply-chain integration

Article Abstract:

Supply chain management can reduce operating costs and realize numerous opportunities when properly integrated with and supported by appropriate technology. The opportunities range from meeting demanding customer requirements; identifying real opportunities to improve business performance; developing a realistic annual budget plan; supporting cross- functional teams with common objectives; and reducing non-value-added work.
