Demonstration of nanofiltration‐based virus safety for AAV manufacturing using model viruses

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract Virus safety for biopharmaceutical products has been a well‐established concern for several decades. While various virus reduction steps have been identified and implemented for traditional plasma‐derived and monoclonal antibody products, there are various challenges to achieving the same virus safety in emerging gene therapy products.

An Analytical Design Model of a Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption Process for Biogas Upgrading

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
A steady‐state model was developed for a vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) process comprising adsorption, depressurization, and evacuation steps. The resulting analytical plant design model provides the optimal adsorber height required to achieve a target product purity with maximum bed utilization.

Occurrence of severe slugging in oil production lines and mitigation methods: A numerical simulation approach using ALFAsim®

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Severe slugging represents a major challenge in offshore production systems, potentially compromising operational stability and the integrity of installations. Although established simulators such as OLGA® are widely used for its analysis, there is a gap in the literature regarding the application of the one‐dimensional simulator ALFAsim® for ...

Synthesis and characterization of polymer networks obtained by conventional radical and RAFT copolymerization processes in supercritical carbon dioxide

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Conventional and RAFT dispersion copolymerizations of HEMA and EGDMA in supercritical CO2 are compared in terms of swelling index (crosslink density), morphology, particle size distribution, and modular differential scanning calorimetry. Abstract The syntheses of net‐poly((2‐hydroxyethylene methacrylate)‐co‐(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate ...
