Sonication of Bottles and Cans for Leak Detection
Hielscher ultrasound is being used in bottling and filling machines for the on-line container leak testing of bottles and cans. The instantaneous release of carbon dioxide is the decisive effect of ultrasonic leakage tests of containers filled…
Biodiesel from Algae using Ultrasonication
Algae oil is an interesting sustainable feedstock for biodiesel manufacturing. It is an alternative to popular feedstocks, like soybean, canola and palm. Ultrasonication improves the extraction of oil from the algae cells and the conversion to biodiesel.…
