A kerosene heater is a portable heating device that generates heat by burning kerosene. While in the United States, they are often used for supplemental or emergency heating during power outages, in countries like Japan, they are a primary home heating source. These heaters typically feature metal grills to prevent…
Oxygen significantly influences the activity of fermenting microorganisms. These microorganisms are categorized into five types based on their relationship with oxygen: obligate aerobes, facultative anaerobes, microaerophiles, aerotolerant anaerobes, and obligate anaerobes. In the production of Baijiu (Chinese liquor), three main types of microorganisms drive the fermentation process: molds, yeasts, and…
(SHANGHAI, CHINA – September 26, 2025) – ISweek, a leading one-stop procurement platform for industrial technology products, successfully concluded its dynamic participation at Sensor China 2025 (SENSOR CHINA Expo & Conference 2025). From September 24th to 26th, our booth (2D049) at Shanghai Convention & Exhibition Center of International Sourcing was a focal point for robust…
Imagine this: A chemical plant operator notices an unusual odor near storage tanks. Within minutes, workers experience dizziness. The culprit? An invisible toluene leak at 200ppm – enough to cause nervous system damage. This scenario underscores why choosing the right photoionization detector (PID) isn’t just technical nitpicking; it’s a frontline…
Oxygen keeps us alive, but here’s the catch – its quality isn’t always a given. What’s in your oxygen tank matters more than you might think. In hospitals, a whiff of contaminated oxygen could turn life-saving therapy into a health hazard. Up in the skies, moisture-laden aviation oxygen becomes an…
Why Oxygen Control Matters in Anaerobic Environments Anaerobic microorganisms—organisms that thrive without oxygen—are among Earth’s oldest life forms, evolving billions of years before photosynthetic organisms oxygenated the atmosphere. Today, they play pivotal roles in: Biotechnology: Producing antibiotics (e.g., clindamycin) and biofuels. Biogas Production: Converting organic waste into renewable energy through…
Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) light, spanning 200–280 nanometers (nm), is a powerful disinfectant used to neutralize bacteria, viruses, and pathogens. Unlike UV-A and UV-B, UV-C is almost entirely absorbed by Earth’s atmosphere, making artificial UV-C sources critical for sterilization in healthcare, water treatment, and air purification. However, monitoring UV-C intensity is essential—underdosing…
Industrial processes such as coal combustion, waste incineration, and boiler operations generate flue gases containing toxic pollutants like carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO). These gases pose severe risks to human health and environmental safety: Carbon Monoxide (CO): Binds to hemoglobin 240x faster than oxygen, causing tissue hypoxia. Acute…
Glove boxes are indispensable in industries like pharmaceuticals, aerospace, electronics, and scientific research. These sealed environments replace oxygen and moisture with inert gases (e.g., nitrogen, argon) to safely handle air-sensitive, toxic, or reactive materials. Maintaining precise atmospheric conditions is critical to protect operators, preserve product integrity, and ensure process efficiency….
Global methane regulations are tightening rapidly, and industries worldwide must prioritize emission reduction to ensure both safety and environmental compliance. Methane (CH₄)—25 times more potent than CO₂ as a greenhouse gas—carries dual risks: immediate explosion hazards in industrial facilities and long-term climate damage from persistent leaks. This 2025 guide ranks…
The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming industries, from predictive maintenance to climate resilience. At the core of this transformation lies a critical yet often overlooked component: gas sensors. These devices serve as the bridge between the physical world and AI systems like DeepSeek, converting chemical data into actionable insights….
Methane is a flammable gas, and leaks can pose serious safety and environmental risks. This colorless and odorless substance (CH4) is challenging to detect without specialized methods, such as the use of odorants like mercaptan and gas detectors. Moreover, Methane is commonly utilized as a fuel for heating and electricity…
