Application Note: Ash and Moisture Analysis with prepASH® 340 Series for Ash in Sugarcane Fibre

Nowadays there is an intensive search for clean and renewable energy sources to replace part of fossil energy.
In Brazil the sugarcane appears as the best option for a renewable source of energy. Sugarcane can supply energy through two products: biomass and ethanol. The biggest source of biomass as a source of energy is the bagasse of the sugarcane, which is directly burnt in boilers, in the so-called system co-generation.


Application Note: Sulfated Ash with prepASH® 340 Series

Ashing test procedures performed on pharmaceutical, polymer, and food samples frequently involve the use of H2SO4 resulting in sulfated ash.


The Ecologic and Economic Benefits of a Hybrid Weighing Cell in Balances, Scales, and Industrial Applications

Not prominently visible, weighing cells are being used in a wide range of industries.The evolution of the weighing cell starts with the substitution balance which has been replaced by the electromagnetic force compensation principle. Further development went into the direction of monolithic weighing cell design and the latest technology is a hybrid solution, offering ecologic and economic benefits.
