Through its Bran+Luebbe brand, SPX FLOW
offers vast experience in the supply of pump
packages; ranging from simple, single
pump skids to sophisticated multi-pump,
multi-tier storage and injection packages.
Using innovative metering and process
pump designs, solutions are designed for
compact installation and to meet the most
demanding of application requirements. A
wide variety of metering and process pump
design configurations are available with
standard plunger pumps and leak-free double
diaphragm models. Complete bespoke skids
incorporate all necessary equipment including
storage tanks, interconnecting pipework,
valves and instrumentation; all expertly
designed in 3D, manufactured, tested and
certified to required specifications to provide
reliable and effective operation. Ideal for
offshore platforms and FPSOs, such pumps
include the NOVAPLEX Vector and NOVADOS
pumps. The NOVAPLEX Vector diaphragm
process pump uses a clever, threedimensional
pump arrangement to reduce
size. The NOVADOS double-acting diaphragm
pump provides the equivalent capacity of
other duplex pumps but with a much smaller
footprint, reduced weight and, typically,
lower initial capital cost. Both technologies
are based on proven, reliable and leak free
Bran+Luebbe double diaphragm pump head
technology, with flexible options and the ability
to combine gear sizes to meet a wide range
of applications. www.spxflow.com

PUMP PACKAGES FROM SPX FLOW
INGREDION N-ZORBIT
2144 PLATING AGENT
N-Zorbit is a high-capacity carrier that allows
manufacturers to economically transform a wide
variety of both oil- and water-soluble liquids into
powdered ingredients. The ingredient is a next
generation plating agent with a unique, porous
structure that increases the surface area exposed
to liquids, facilitating absorption. Due to
the non-gelatinised and unique granular structure
of the ingredient, it can be used to carry
high-flavour concentrations that flow freely
through processing equipment and mix evenly
into food and beverage recipes. The unique
structure and composition of N-ZORBIT 2144
plating agent contributes to an optimal particle
size that can deliver a plating capacity as high
as 40%. This means 100g of it can plate up to
70g of liquid, delivering far more than traditional
carriers such as maltodextrin. “Creating today’s
on-trend foods and beverages means using a
wide assortment of spices, seasonings, flavours
and actives,” Ingredion’s Donna Brooks says. “It
allows product developers and manufacturers
to economically increase that variety, transforming
a multitude of liquids into a powdered form.”
NEW TOOLS
FROM SCIEX
OS SOFTWARE
SCIEX has announced a new release of
its LC and mass spectrometry operating
system, SCIEX OS software, which
provides new tools for full regulatory
compliance and updated calculation algorithms
that support data processing
for the majority of SCIEX instruments.
Analytical laboratories need LC-MS
software and systems that can process
increasing volumes of data faster and
across a broader spectrum of instruments.
SCIEX OS 1.4 is the control
system for the X-Series of SCIEX mass
spectrometers, incorporating the ability
to rapidly control, acquire and analyse
laboratory data. With this release, it
now also acts as the central processing
application for data produced by
the company’s Analyst and Analyst
TF Software applications. Now, data
processing for all SCIEX Triple Quad,
QTRAP and TripleTOF instruments as
well as the X500R and X500B QTOF
systems can be performed in a single
software interface. SCIEX OS 1.4 also
includes features that benefit scientists
who work in regulated laboratories.
“SCIEX OS offers the combined quantitative
and qualitative data analysis
that scientists working in any laboratory
need,” SCIEX vice president software
business Fraser McLeod says. “By
incorporating regulatory compliance
capabilities and improved algorithms
for peak detection, across a wider
portfolio of our mass spectrometry
instruments, this software will further
improve the efficiency of how scientists
analyse their mass spectrometry data
and increase overall laboratory productivity.”
