• EPA Researchers Partner With The Minnesota Department of Health To Screen For Chemicals Of Health Concern In Water

  There are many different chemicals that are released into our environment, and the ability to characterize human exposure and risk of every one of those chemicals is limited. Because information about these chemicals and their sources is limited, it’s difficult to know which chemicals are of highest concern, and regulatory agencies struggle to determine where they should focus efforts.

• 10 Essentials To Specify A Thermal Mass Gas Flow Meter

  Whether you are working on a plant upgrade, a process improvement or an expansion project, doing your homework on the application and installation will save you time and expense, and ensure first-time right success. To specify a thermal mass flow meter correctly, there are 10 key questions you will want to understand, consider and then be able to answer.

• The Reasons Behind The Wide Array Of Liner And Electrode Choices In Magnetic Flow Meters

  Electromagnetic flow meters offer significant benefits in water, wastewater, and industrial applications because they can be reliably used to measure liquid with many different characteristics. Since these devices contain no moving parts, making them virtually maintenance-free, they are becoming the workhorse for a growing number of utilities and industrial operations. Despite the advantages, however, electromagnetic flow meters are often avoided based on the misconception that there are limitations on what they can measure.

• Dow Achieves Maximum Efficiency With Glass-Lined Storage Tank

  Every morning when you pour a cup of coffee or tear open a package of frozen waffles, the science of Dow Chemical is there to help make your breakfast convenient and fresh.
