Disc cartridges for clarification filtration The Filtration Division of power management company Eaton is promoting a range of filtration media and systems at the Powtech 2016 trade show in Nuremberg, Germany, from 19 – 21 April (Booth 609, Hall 3A). Eaton's range of filtration media and systems are for various process steps in the manufacturing of enzymes, antibiotics or phytopharmaca, or in the fractionation of plasma protein products.
enclosed Beco Inegra Disc filter housing in sanitary design offers safe cleaning and sterilization of the complete system. Topline bag filter housing top inlet requires less headroom and allows liquid flow through the cover, improves sealing, reduces product loss and makes filter bag changeouts cleaner. Various Cleargaf filter bags meeting EC migration performance requirements will also be shown. www.eaton.com
Stacked disc cartridges are used for clarification filtration of cell culture media and protection of downstream membrane filters and are increasingly used in biopharmaceutical applications. The combination of Beco Discs stacked disc cartridges and the

Increase activated sludge basin Enexio Water Technologies will display its 2H technology at this year’s IFAT, in Munich from 30 May to 3 June, in hall A1, stand A1.527. The use of fills from ENEXIO Water Technologies GmbH (formerly GEA 2H Water Technologies) can increase the output of activated sludge basin by up to 35 %, Enexio says. Enexio 2H BIOdek IFAS fills are designed for installation in new sewage treatments plants and for retrofitting existing plants. They can be retrofitted while plants remain in operation, to adapt activated sludge basins to more demanding requirements. Such retrofitting involves installing cascades of the fills, with modular configuration, in the treatment basins – if required, with the necessary aeration systems. Performance enhancement is based on the IFAS principle (integrated fixed film activated sludge). This involves the
Filtration supplier in film showcase Hi-line Industries, a UK supplier and installer of compressed air purification equipment have produced a corporate movie which can be viewed on their website news page. The movie showcases the business and an extensive portfolio of compressed air equipment available. The company specialises in the design, manufacture and installation of desiccant and refrigerant air dryers, as well as nitrogen and oxygen generators, condensate systems, heat regenerative adsorption dryers and membrane air dryers which require no electrical power, together with desiccant cartridge filters and exhaust air mufflers which reduce exponentially perceived noise. Filter housings and a range of filtration products are also provided. The company also manufactures compressed air dryers, nitrogen & oxygen generators and a range of heat regeneration zero loss
adsorption dryers. All of these products are stocked and available with off-the-shelf delivery from the company’s head office. Hi-line’s broad range of energy efficient compressed air equipment is used in all types of industry applications including: food, beverage, medical, general manufacturing and engineering, dairy, automotive, breathing air and laser cutting etc. www.hilineindustries.com

formation of stationary biofilm on the large surface area of the fills. This biomass complements the existing biomass in the activated sludge tank and thereby increases the operative sludge age of the system. No modifications are required for the sludgerecirculation system, since the additional biomass is fixed on the structured fill.
Netting producer casts digital magazine
www.enexio.com
This new digital magazine includes a step-by-step description of how the company manufacturer its products, the netting characteristics that can be customized and how netting can be incorporated with other materials and substrates in diverse production processes.
ENEXIO 2H BIOdek IFAS fills are designed for installation in new sewage treatments plants and for retrofitting existing plants.
Plastic netting manufacturer Conwed has launched its new 2016 IDEA Book, a digital catalog that outlines the company’s capabilities, core products and technologies.
The company celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2016 and develops netting solutions for industrial and consumer products in diverse industries including agriculture, automotive, hygiene, medical and disposable products to packaging,
filtration, landscape and erosion control applications. The netting is used to contain, separate, reinforce, stretch, laminate and bond different materials and substrates. When used in composite form, netting can add superior strength without significantly increasing the weight of the entire composite. Its lightweight features help manufacturers create composites with film, paper, foil, foam, bubble wrap, nonwoven and other fabrics. www.conwedplasticsideabook.com
