GEA Filtration - Niro Inc.
GEA Filtration, is a world leader in the application of cross-flow membrane filtration in the food, dairy, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, has introduced sanitary, high concentration reverse osmosis technology. For more than a quarter century reverse osmosis has proven to be a cost-effective technology for the non-thermal de-watering of process streams in the sanitary process industries. However, concentration was generally limited, depending on exact product characteristics, to total solids levels in the teens to lower twenties. GEA Filtration has developed high concentration sanitary design reverse osmosis plants constructed for concentrations up to about 30% total solids. With rising fuel costs, this can afford substantial operating cost savings from transportation or other thermal de-watering techniques.GEA Filtration - Niro Inc.

SKF USA Inc.
The new universal power frame cartridge available from SKF provides an "ultimate pump upgrade" designed to virtually eliminate premature bearing and mechanical seal failures caused by heat, vibration, misalignment, and cavitation. This unique modular "bolt-on" replacement for existing power frames can install and operate in pumps trouble-free, regardless of industry application. The cartridge meets ANSI and API pump specifications and can be bolted easily into place without modifying pump, piping, or foundation. The cartridge can be readily converted from standard power frame to hermetically sealed unit to contain process fluids in the power frame, minimizing costs of leak detection and repair. An optional C-frame adapter supports motors up to 200hp. These can be aligned quickly and precisely with the power frame shaft without requiring hot and cold shaft alignments. The robustness of this arrangement allows pumps to be stilt-mounted, eliminating a need for baseplates, simplifying clean-in-place activities, and improving sanitary conditions.SKF USA Inc.
