New BioPharm Application Module from CRANE ChemPharma Flow Solutions

Featuring interactive BioPharm process maps (i.e. Bioreactor, CIP [Clean in Place], Filtration and Chromatography), this interactive online platform guides the user through bioblock valve configuration examples for improving cleanability and process fluid handling. Other tools that can be found include an interactive table of P&ID block orientations that can increase the speed and efficiency of valve selection for time-sensitive BioPharm projects.

CRANE ChemPharma’s bundled solutions of trusted products (like those from its Saunders® brand) for the BioPharm, API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients), hygienic and industrial applications are highlighted throughout the module. This new addition to the CRANE ChemPharma website provides valuable training for distributors, engineers, and students on where and how complicated bioblock valves can be used within critical BioPharm processes. www.cranebiopharm.com

Solenoid Valves: Direct Acting vs. Pilot-Operated

While presenting in a recent VMA Valve Basics 101 Course in Houston, I found myself in a familiar role: explaining solenoid valves (SOVs) to attendees. (I work with solenoids so much that one VMA member at that conference joked that I needed to be wearing an I Heart Solenoids t-shirt). During the hands-on “petting zoo” portion of the program, which involves smaller groups of attendees, one of the most frequently asked questions I get from people came up: What’s the difference between direct-acting and pilot-operated SOVs, and how do we make a choice?
The Actuators That Drive Subsea Operations

Subsea development includes different types of activities such as exploration, drilling, completion and production.Subsea manifolds are the arrangement of piping, valves, connections, structures and the foundation used in the subsea production system to receive, combine and distribute the hydrocarbon fluid
The Rationale Behind Valve Characteristics

Back in the “early days,” we were taught that, to properly control flow, we should select a linear valve characteristic when the valve controls more than 25% of the piping system pressure drop at full flow.
