HEPA and ULPA filters to supplant rival technologies
Posted in: Air Filtration, Pork Insight Articles by admin on May 28, 1998 | No Comments
An economic report believes that the demand for high quality air filters, specifically HEPA filters, will increase in Europe in the early years of the 2000s. Germany, the UK and France are the major market holders in the air filtration industry but smaller producers like Italy and Greece will increase production to drive up the supply. Although, the major producing countries, who have the major companies, will continue to dominate the markets. As this market becomes more competitive companies are trying to differentiate themselves by offering after sale services such as technical support and additional equipment to attract more clients. Also filtration designs have improved by innovative companies looking to improve their products. There is a lot of different applications of filters now available to customers.

Nutritional value of wheat ll

A large range exists in the digestible energy (DE) content of grains such as barley, field peas and wheat. The variability in DE content of wheat was described in the 1993 Annual Report, and equations to predict DE content were developed based on basic chemical characteristics. The specific objective of this study is to relate DE content of the same wheat samples with the non-starch polysaccharide content. The DE ranged from 3330 to 3645 kcal/kg (90% DM); thus, the difference in DE content between the highest and lowest value was 9%. Of the analysed chemical characteristics, xylose, a non0starch polysaccharide (NSP), had the highest correlation with DE, and was thus the single best predictor for DE content. The results indicated
