the difference.
How do you combine the highest purity

of superabsorbent polymers, the answer
is falling film melt crystallization. First
pioneered in 1989, this unique crystallization
solution now produces 1.8 million tons of
glacial acrylic acid every year, or 80% of
total world production. That’s billions of
diapers, personal care products and more,
all produced with 99.9% purity to provide
the high-performance absorption we rely on

USING COLUMNS FOR CARBON CAPTURE
One of the latest trends is using columns for carbon capture applications. While the technol-
ogy is not new, the “parasitic” energy demand and the enormous column sizes required for
the application necessitate a lot of research and optimization before use becomes wide-
spread, says Koch’s Nieuwoudt.
“There has been a lot of activity on the carbon capture front, but there is still a lot of ex-
ploratory work to be done before we see a flood of large industrial applications due to the

Gear pumps can successfully
operate in temperatures as low as
–112°F (–80°C) and process fluids
with temperatures as high as 800°F
(425°C). Having this type of flex-
ibility allows gear pumps to accept
several liquids of varying tempera-

to asphalts and adhesives — while
also operating in environments with
extreme weather fluctuations. That

Vertical Cartridge Filter (VCF) For Industrial
Dust Collection
The Schenck Process Vertical Cartridge Filter (VCF) is
a pulse jet filter designed to handle medium to high
air volumes for industrial dust removal. It is typically
used as a nuisance dust collector in applications with
light dust loads and a high volume of air flow. An
easy to-use cartridge clamp system on the hinged
front doors of the baghouse provides easy access to
and rapid replacement of the filter media. This mini-
mizes downtime during scheduled maintenance de-
creasing overall cost of operation.
A robust design adds to the overall stability of the
filter. Each unit is constructed with reinforced carbon
steel that is rated for 6.4 psi Pred.
