Ultrapure water and steam production - Green electricity
In the production of WFI and clean steam, the question increasingly arises: Is there still potential for savings? Far less or no fossil fuels should be used. All that water going down the drain, is that necessary? Drinking water is becoming scarcer, how can I reduce consumption in continuous operation? You can find out how to make savings [...]
Single-use: the future of bioprocess technology?
According to surveys conducted by Reuters in 2022, more than three quarters of all respondents want to ban single-use plastic from their daily lives. In bioprocess engineering and pharmaceutical production, we are currently experiencing an opposite trend towards single-use technology. But is this development at all compatible with the concept of sustainability? This question is answered in more detail using the example of the "bioreactor" [...].
