Extractables and leachables, how do we test for them? Is this the best way to test for them? How do we quantify and standardize on acceptable levels? This post will focus on the L & E’s (or E & L’s, depending on who you talk to), what the difference between the two are, and why this is such a big deal in single use technology today.

Stainless steel is a generic term that refers to a variety of types of steel. But what is it that makes stainless steel “stainless” and why is stainless steel the material of choice for sanitary process components? This post will focus on those questions and provide insight into term that is often oversimplified

A DTL or Tri blender basically consists of a centrifugal pump head and impeller mounted in such an orientation that the normal suction port, or inlet, is pointed upward. The inlet piping consists of a tube-within-a-tube arrangement- preventing wet-dry mixing and the prewetting phenomena.

Now that we know what BHP, VHP, and WHP are, we can better understand the efficiency of a pump as well as the total power requirements. The efficiency of a pump is the ratio of the WHP to the BHP or total horsepower consumed.
