Using Carbon In The Production Of Fine Chemicals
By 3M Purification Inc. (formerly CUNO)
Carbon has been used for many years to remove impurities in production processes. These impurities are typically derived from chemical reactions producing colored byproducts. Carbon is used to remove chemical impurities as it has many structural characteristics that are suitable.


Security In The Supply Chain
By FedEx Custom Critical
When analyzing a transportation company regarding its capabilities to keep cargo safe from theft, there are a variety of questions that a decision-maker should ask in an effort to effectively measure the security skills of the carrier. Although some points are particular to certain modes of transportation and specific nations, much of the advice is broad enough to be a best practice to be pursued, regardless of location or mode.

Spotlight On Powder Processing

Brochure: Particle-Sizer Fine Grinding Mill
For the majority of our size-reduction applications, a "free-flowing" output size is acceptable. However, a significant number of applications require the process material to be reduced to a fine powder. ACC offers the Particle-Sizer to meet this need.

White Paper: Modern Tools For Hopper Design
Although there are well-established methodologies for hopper design, many process engineers are uncertain as to how to measure powders in the prescribed way, extract the necessary parameters from recorded data, and successfully apply them. As a result, hopper design and the powder testing associated with it is often outsourced to specialists. This incurs significant cost and undermines the operating company's ability to troubleshoot and re-use or retrofit equipment for alternative materials or applications.
