Ion exchange resins consist of small, microporous beads that are insoluble in water and organic solvents. The most widely used base materials are polystyrene and polyacrylate. The beads remove the ionic charges in the coolant so that they cannot damage the fuel cell. The nuclear-grade resin inside of the PROTECT+ion Omniflow is designed specifically for…

Schools have made many steps to keep their students safe but, as we learn more about the Covid-19 virus, we must change our protocols. Research from Johns Hopkins University describes how daily “deep cleanings” that many schools have implemented are disruptive and not as effective for slowing the spread of Covid -19 as proper ventilation.…

Individuals in hospitals have weakened immune systems making them even more vulnerable to particles that we cannot see. Even individuals in waiting rooms or those just coming for a routine checkup should feel protected from airborne illnesses in hospitals. Even when a building appears clean there are particles in the air that can make you…

ASHRAE recently released guidelines for in-room air cleaners for reducing COVID-19 in the air. In these guidelines they explain the HEPA, UV-C and UV-PCO technologies. HEPA (High efficiency particulate air) filters remove particles, which include particles that contain microorganisms and viruses. U-VC Germicidal air cleaners kill viruses and microorganisms in the air, but do not…

Fuel cell material handling equipment have a whole toolbox full of benefits over their battery electric counterparts. For starters, the power units operate at a consistent level throughout the shift, whereas battery electric forklifts encounter power sag as their charge is depleted. The refueling infrastructure needed for hydrogen fuel cells uses space more efficiently than…
