Candle filtration in lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide production is often treated as a downstream afterthought, yet the purification and polishing stages are where battery-grade purity is actually won or lost. Demand for both compounds keeps climbing as EV and grid storage manufacturers scale up: current estimates put 2026 global lithium demand at roughly 2 […]

Why Are Rare Earth Elements Strategic for Clean Energy and Advanced Manufacturing? Rare earth elements (REEs) underpin a wide range of advanced technologies, including electric mobility, renewable energy systems, electronics, and defense applications. Electric vehicles, wind turbines, and high-performance electronics all rely on rare earth materials to achieve efficiency, durability, and performance. As decarbonization targets […]

Harvesting plasmid DNA from high-density E. coli fermentation Plasmids are commonly produced from E. coli and can be difficult to harvest, as the fermentations are often grown to extremely high cell densities. Depth filters foul easily and need to be replaced, and centrifuges struggle to get low filtrate turbidity. FUNDALOOP® has had success in this area, and has […]

A great update from DrM Poland’s new production hall! To support continued growth and rising customer demand, DrM has expanded its production facilities in Poland with a new manufacturing hall. This investment strengthens our production capacity, optimizes internal workflows, and enhances operational efficiency across our filtration and mixing technologies. The new hall forms part of […]

PAK precoat candle filtration Emerging contaminants in the environment are an ongoing national and global water challenge. Two groups of contaminants are of higher concern in waste and drinking water management: micropollutants (MP) and microplastics (MPlas). Municipal wastewater treatment plants are considered as point sources. Different countries already regulate their discharge pathways via wastewater treatment […]

What Material? That’s the Question Material science has left us with difficult choices. With the proliferation of types of metals, alloys and polymers on the market today, engineers need to carefully weigh cost, flexibility and risk to come up with the best possible combination of materials with the mechanical and chemical properties suited for a […]

DrM is expanding in Poland DrM is continuing to expand its operations in Poland. Our subsidiary in Włocławek has secured a new industrial site, ideally located approximately 10 minutes from the city center. The facility offers excellent infrastructure and is well suited to support our production and operational requirements. The new site covers a total […]

Since the onset of the industrial revolution the chemical industry spread itself into more and more applications targeting the industrial and consumer markets alike. Especially organic chemistry gave a never ending playing field, starting with simple products, such as fatty acids, dyes and pigments but developing into complex polymers and active pharmaceutical ingredients making our […]

Summary Slurry bed catalyst reactors are popular equipment despite their more complex operation.  Catalyst hold up plays a major role for optimisation of the process.  In continuous reactor systems continuously operating separation equipment are required.  The CONTIBAC® offers a good option compared to a number of other continuously operating separation equipment.  Two case studies exemplify its functionality. […]

Efficient Lithium Battery Recycling The global demand for Lithium Batteries (LiBs) is rapidly increasing due to the electric vehicle, energy storage and portable electronics markets. The waste created by end of life and scrap batteries poses a growing environmental challenge. Therefore, battery recycling is becoming mandatory in many states and nations. LiBs are hazardous to […]

The challenges of current recycling processes As environmental awareness from people, companies and governments has increased over the last few decades, noticeable efforts are being made in order to bring recycling processes of plastics or synthetic textiles to commercial scale. A number of recycling technologies are under investigation, each with certain complexities and peculiar performances, […]
