Optimizing Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage to Meet Ambitious Sustainability Goals

The Accelerating Rate Calorimeter (ARC) has been the benchmark adiabatic safety calorimeter for more than 30 years. Devised by Dow Chemical Company in the 1970s, an explosion at a Dow UK site led to commercialization of ARC technology.

For most labs the main equipment responsible for proper ventilation is the chemical fume hood. This webinar will cover the design of major types of chemical fume hoods, their features, and functions. The program will cover key differences between hood types and how to properly set up and adjust them to maintain efficient flows and optimum performance. This presentation will focus on the important basic aspects of proper operation and use of fume hoods. OSHA standards and other applicable guidelines and regulations will be covered, including NFPA.

To kick off the 2019 New Year, we’ll reflect on a few lessons, still relevant today, from technological progress in the past. Like us, our forbearers faced political, social, and economic challenges, and, like us, they looked to science for solutions. Along the way, they made amazing discoveries but they also hit brick walls. Then, as now, even the most amazing technological discoveries have a habit of requiring long residence times in developmental stages (often awaiting other discoveries) before they emerge as useful (often in surprising applications) which are now simply taken for granted.

This webinar is designed to help the polymer scientist characterize polymeric materials using a variety of Thermal Analytical (TA) techniques like Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermal Mechanical Analysis (TMA) Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA, and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA).
