Dow to market water treatment system
Technology news Filtration+Separation November/December 2009
Chromatography capsules are reusuable Pall Life Sciences has launched Mustang Q XT ion exchange chromatography capsules in a new reusable format. The company says that Mustang Q XT chromatography capsules reduce purification time, increase throughput and cut costly buffer consumption. The Mustang membrane has an open-pore structure for high flow rate contaminant removal
applications and for the capture and removal of large molecules. The Mustang Q XT ion exchange chromatography capsules feature a highly durable polypropylene housing incorporating a chemicallyresistant polyethersulphone membrane for the stability needed in cleaning, re-use and long-term storage. Process developers may also integrate
Dow to market water treatment system
BioPetroClean has signed a global commercial agreement with Dow Chemical Company to strengthen its distribution channels significantly. Dow and BioPetroClean are working on a first field application of the Dow-BPC Water Treatment system. Dow will market the Dow-BPC Water Treatment system to refinery and produced-water markets with exclusivity in various regions. BioPetroClean’s Automated Chemostat Treatment (BPC-ACT) consists of three elements: a bacteria cocktail customised for specific water types, a control unit and a basin or tank that serves as the reactor. BioPetroClean’s bioremediation solutions allow a wastewater treatment plant to increase its reliability and capacity while reducing cost of operations.
BioPetroClean’s chief executive officer David Amir said: “The selection of the BPC solution by a worldwide leader such as Dow is a great endorsement from a company that can help us take advantage of the worldwide opportunity and enable massive deployment of our new and exciting technology.” Janet Giesselman, president and general manager of Dow Oil and Gas said: “Dow-BPC Water Treatment technology has immense potential – for communities, the oil and gas industry, the environment and our business. We are committed to creating clean, sustainable water supplies. This is one more step toward solving this global challenge.” www.biopetroclean.com
the disposable devices as single-use to avoid cleaning and cleaning revalidation. Scalable Mustang Q XT chromatography capsules are available in 5 mL, 140 mL, and 5-litre volumes. Process capacities can be increased by linking units in parallel or series. Set-up is claimed to be simple, and each device is 100% integrity tested before shipment for added assurance of quality performance. Pall Life Sciences adds that each Mustang Q XT chromatography capsule incorporates 16 layers of Mustang Q membrane for consistent performance and scale up. Mustang Q XT140 and XT5000 capsules use Pall Life Science’s Ultipleat high density pleating technology to maximise membrane volume while
maintaining a small device footprint. Ultipleat technology also minimises hold-up volume for enhanced chromatographic performance and significantly reduced buffer consumption. The Mustang membrane has good wetting properties and low non-specific binding which enables fast mass transfer through convective pores and very high flow rates with no diffusion flow restrictions allowing 30 to 50 times higher flow rates than traditional beaded column sorbents. Applications for the Mustang Q XT chromatography capsule include contaminant removal in polishing applications and the capture of largetarget molecules. www.pall.com
