The article studies whether training prior to laboratory work (with a multimedia interactive programme), as a complement to the traditional practicaltheoretical teaching of tablet manufacturing, has brought advantages to pharmaceutical technology learning and, in consequence, increased the quality of the tablets produced by the students in the educational pilot plant. Evaluation is a key aspect...

The paper presents an algorithm and a program implementation for real time control of flow cycles in an ion exchange desalination pilot plant using a personal computer and LabVIEW as driver software. The pilot plant and the control systems are designed, developed and implemented by students for the purpose of student education and research using recent computer and control technologies. Hardwar...

The aim of this study was to develop a pilot plant for the production of M. barbatus seed through artificial reproduction technology for possible use in aquaculture and repopulation of nursery areas. The study involved various phases: setup of the pilot plant, sourcing of M. barbatus specimens and their transplantation to an offshore long-line farm; production of live food (phytoplankton); sele...

The paper presents a study of a pilot plant treating light greywater for seven flats. The pilot plant combines biological treatment (RBC) with physicochemical treatment (sand filtration and disinfection). The pilot plant produced effluent of excellent quality, meeting the urban reuse quality regulations, and was very efficient in TSS turbidity and BOD removal: 82%, 98% and 96%, respectively. CO...

Ion exclusion is a chromatographic process which separates components from an impure feedstock on the basis of molecular size and charge. A pilot plant ion exclusion separator was constructed to determine the technical and economic feasibility of recovering sugar from refinery jet 4 (the feedstock identified as most promising in terms of ease of treatment). Extensive tests on jet 4 from the Mal...

THE COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF THE KENTUCKY PILOT PROJECT OF ALLOWING PRIMARY PCI AT HOSPITALS WITHOUT ONSITE CABG

24 The tolerance of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to desiccation is important for the 25 use of this microorganism in the wine industry, since active dry wine yeast is routinely 26 used as starter for must fermentations. Many studies have shown the complexity of the 27 cellular effects caused by water loss, including oxidative injuries on macromolecular 28 components. However the technolog...

The objective of this article is to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) versus the more conventional continuous flow reactor (CFR) setup for pilot plant studies. The SBR process can offer many superior features for research applications. The control of operational conditions is more reliable, precise and versatile. Data collection by sampling and on-li...

CO2 emissions from combustion flue gases have turned into a major factor in global warming. Post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) from industrial utility flue gases by reactive absorption can substantially reduce the emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2. To test a new solvent (AIT600) for this purpose, a small pilot plant was used. This paper presents the results of studies ...
