Advanced Separations Technologies: $4 billion Industry by Year 2000 As much as one third of all process industries capital equipment dollars are spent on separations eqmpment An emerging generation of advanced separations technologies promises significantly greater efficiency and new capabilities before the end of the decade, according to a report from Frost & Sullivan. The study, “Advanced Separation Technolow A Technology Impact Report” (#T021), estimates the current market for equipment applying these new methods at about $1 biion and forecasts a $4.05 biion market by the year 2000. Advanced separations technologies equipment today accounts for 4.7% to 7.7% of all separations equipment demand but will make up 11.6% to 19.1% of the market by the end of the 1990s. The advanced technologies covered are limited to those with broad potential application in a number of mdustries.

By far the fastest moving and broadest based of the new technologies is membranes. Second generation membrane products introduced in the last two years are expected to shake up traditional processing practices in several industries Other technologies covered in the study include pressure-swing and vacuum-swing adsorption using zeohte or carbon molecular sieves, advanced solvents including analogues of biologxal compounds, supercritical flmd extraction, biocompounds such as bacterial or algal extracts to separate metals from solutions, combmed field separations, and freeze concentration for environmental applications and metals recovery.

Perkin-Elmer and Digital sign pc agreement Perkm-Elmer has signed a multi-nawith Digital tional agreement Equipment Corporation for Digital’s DECstatlon personal computers Under terms of the multi-million dollar agreement, Digital will provide computer equipment for use with all of Perk&Elmer’s analytical chemistry instruments Perkin-Elmer plans to convert 11 product lines to the DECstation PC platform over the next 12 months. The product linres are m spectrosocpy, chormatography, thermal and elemental analysis. “By combining our expertise in analytical instrumentation with D&al’s success m computing and networking, we can offer our customers an edge in integrating laboratory-bench top solutions with Laboratory Information Management Systems,” said Riccardo P~ghucct, Vice President, PerkmElmer Instruments. Digital will be providmg the computing environment for PE analytical mstruments worldurlde “By expandmg

our relationshio to cover PCs. Dieital and Perkin-Elmer can offer more complete solutions for laboratory automation. Working together we can make laboratory benchtop computers an integral part of an enterprise-wide computmg network,” said ~JJRabe, Group Marketing Manager of D@al’s Laboratory Data Products/Science group. Digital’s family of personal computers are industry standard MS-DOS compatible and can be fully integrated into a large network environment. I

HP automates sample preparation with SFE Hewlett-Packard has introduced a graphics-driven, computer-controlled supercritical fluid extractor, the HP 768oA. It can be used in extracting analytes from solid and sermsolid samples in environmental, pharmaceutical, chemxal and food and flavour industry applications. Supercrltical CO2 is the extraction solvent and can be used alone or with a modtier. A SFE residency program in Avondale, PA allows customers to bring their own samples on the equipment The customer-vendor mteraction that results is seen as essential in providing insight into market needs. A sinular scheme might be introduced in the FRG later this year for customers 111 Europe.
