June, 2011 -- BCI Wins NSF Award to Develop PCB- Degrading Bacterial Culture
Bioremediation Consulting, Inc (BCI) of Watertown, MA announced today that it has received a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National Science Foundation. Principal Investigator, Dr. Margaret Findlay will lead BCI's research effort on the development of a commerical culture of Dehalococcoides for anaerobic degradation of PCB's.
BCI has been involved in the development of cultures for bioremediation for over 20 years and continues to advance the frontiers of this technology. A wide range of specialized dechlorinating cultures are now available to commercial clients. Contact Sam Fogel for more information at sfogel@bcilabs.com.
European manufacturers of diapers, adult incontinence, and feminine hygiene products are committing to a new programme to give consumers further assurances about the safety of their products.
EDANA, the European Nonwovens Industry Association, who represent makers of most of these products placed on the European market, today launched the Stewardship Programme for Absorbent Hygiene Products.
Under the programme, open to all producers, participants commit to go beyond existing product legislation to give consumers...
Polychlorinated biphenyls, more commonly referred to as PCBs, belong to a broad family of man-made organic chemicals known as chlorinated hydrocarbons. They were domestically manufactured from 1929 until manufacturing was banned in 1979 in the United States.
Due to their non-flammability, chemical stability, high boiling point and electrical insulating properties, PCBs were used in hundreds of industrial and commercial applications. They were used extensively as coolants in hydraulic systems and as dielectric...
Over a month ago EDANA launched a new programme which saw members commit to give consumers further assurances about the safety of their products.
During the upcoming OUTLOOK20 online conference Marines Lagemaat, Scientific and Technical Affairs Director at EDANA and Anna Brodowsky, Vice President Public Affairs at Essity Hygiene & Health will speak about de-mystifying the debate about trace chemicals , and on how the stewardship programme allows stakeholders to find a common way forward and provides...
SST Sensing, the leading designer and manufacturer of best in class Zirconia Oxygen sensors, introduce a variant to the popular zirconia oxygen sensor screwfit probe range with an NPT fitting.
Extending the range from metric to imperial threads provides design engineers with an alternative option on fixing and sealing the sensor into a gas measurement system.
The O2S-FR-T2-34NPTA has a ¾” NPT process connection providing a sensor suitable for use in high pressure and temperature environments.
Its...
