Liquid oxygen is a light-blue fluid with strong paramagnetic qualities. This substance is one of the four states of aggregation of oxygen, and is used in aerospace and chemical industry, as well as in submarines.

The first notable gas liquefaction success belongs to Michael Faraday, in 1845. At that time there remained six gases which could not be liquefied, oxygen one of them. In 1877 in France and Switzerland two scientists, Louis Paul Cailletet and Raoul-Pierre Pictet obtained several drops of liquid oxygen, using different methods, however. For the first time, a measurable amount of liquid oxygen was produced in Poland by professors Zygmunt Florenty Wróblewski and Karol Stanislaw Olszewski in 1883.

Special systems produce liquid oxygen. The substance is not heated to the ambient temperature, but is output in liquid state. Cold is used to liquefy oxygen, cover the loss of cold to the environment and the approach.

Large gaseous oxygen production units use most energy to separate the air, only 10-15% of the energy is used for cooling. Liquid oxygen production systems are different in that most energy (up to 65%) is used for cooling, and the rest is used for separation of air. This is why such systems are only as efficient as their refrigeration cycle.

The equipment for liquid oxygen production is usually designed for one or two pressure process. In the former case, one stream of air is supplied to separation section from the compressor to facilitate separation of air and refrigeration. In a two pressure system part of the air is compressed to 0.6 MN/m2, while the other part is compressed to an even higher pressure.

Energy drinks are made for people with active lifestyle. First drinks referred to as energy drinks were manufactured in the end of the 20th century. They are now available in any bar or club as a means to remove fatigue, or in gyms for some quick calories.

While harm or benefits of energy drinks are debated in the media, the actual production process is very similar to the production of any other drink and the only difference is in the composition.

This article deals with the production of energy drinks and their benefits to supplier companies. The debate about possible harm from this product is, surprisingly, just another type of advertisement.

Production of energy drinks involves mixing water with various components and additives, such as sugar, glucose, caffeine, theobromine, taurine,  glucuronolactone, L-carnitine, D-ribose, B vitamins, guarana and ginseng.

This product may be made using expensive special and separate pieces of equipment, or single universal mixing units which significantly simplify the production process.

Products blended using such equipment are not only clean and safe, but also based on a unique formulation developed using the blending system. The equipment is suitable for production of water, juice, cold tea, energy drinks etc.

The process of making energy drinks using blending systems involves adding special components to the main water stream, using portioning devices, according to the recipe.

Temperature, mixing rate, component consumption control and the high production rate make this equipment quite advantageous.

The company which starts up an energy production process, has a large choice of raw materials and equipment. According to research, the capacity of this equipment is several times that of the older, more cumbersome equipment for drink production. The control software meets the demands of the modern client. Companies can set up custom production process to substantiate future profits with technological investments.

Liquid fertilizer came into wide production and use by the customers in the end of the 20th century. The process of application of such fertilizer can be fully automated, since spraying of the liquid or adding it during planting does not require operator interference. Among the advantages of liquid fertilizer compared to dry mixes is simple storage, transportation, safety and, most importantly, low cost of production. They are also independent from the weather and moisture.

Liquid fertilizer contain, beside nitrogen and phosphorus, ammonia, urea ammonium nitrate solutions, potassium chloride. Production of liquid fertilizers can be performed at cold or hot temperature.

Naturally, production of liquid fertilizers should be organized together with production of dry fertilizer at the same facility. Combining the two production processes in one location allows to reduce raw material losses by using the share of unprocessed phosphoric acid and ammonia left over from switching the facilities from one type of fertilizer to another. This increases production capabilities and efficiency.

The range of liquid fertilizer products must comply with the demands of the agriculture. The production must meet the demand and offer quality products. Companies must always increase the technological capacity.

There is no special equipment as such in the production liquid fertilizer. The equipment used is mostly various types (vacuum, mill, vane) of mixing equipment.

GlobeCore’s USB type units, which are becoming quite popular with the manufacturers worldwide, are more and more used in basic chemical processes, being formerly employed mostly in the fuel production industry.

The USB type unit makes the process of liquid  fertilizer production more efficient due to high rate of production and compensates the time required to purity the liquids from contaminants.

If the units are equipped with filters, they also reduce the amount of operations performed using other equipment.

Semi-automatic control facilitates easy process management, allowing the unit to be used without the operator according to the formulation, maintaining temperature and component portioning.

Detergents for washing the windscreen are essential for all motorists, protect the glass from dust and dirt, as well as snow and ice in the winter time. The resistance to cold temperature makes windscreen washing liquids similar to antifreeze.

Detergent liquids can be produced using various methods. The composition of all products is basically similar in most cases.

Windscreen washing liquids are usually based on ethyl or isopropyl alhohol. Using methyl alcohol in these products is prohibited. Beside alcohol, the product contains water, surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, flavors and dyes.

This composition ensures that the there are no sags and residue on the glass, the detergents do not interact with the paint of the vehicle and rubber (wiper brushes, glass seals) and are not hazardous to humans and animals.

Beside compliance with the company’s internal quality standards, windscreen wash production must comply with a number of industry and international standards.

The business of windscreen wash production has several advantages: this product is always in demand due to the constant growth of the number of automobiles, simplicity of business set up (no licensing required) and production, relatively low cost and availability of raw materials and basic equipment.

The equipment for production of windscreen wash liquids is quite versatile. Mobile liquid blending systems, suitable to produce many types of vehicle related liquids, are often used.

High production rates of such equipment is limited only by the facility’s capacity. A quick buy off period compensates a significant part of the cost with the sale of even the first batch of the product.

The equipment for windscreen wash production allow to develop new modern recipes for the market and to increase the competitiveness of the business.

Liquid stone, a popular material in the modern construction industry, is not at all similar to natural stone. This term refers to coating of such surfaces as wood chipboards. Liquid stone is a mix of polymer resin and various additives.

To meet the demands of the clients, construction companies must be flexible in terms of new construction trends. And the company must still make a profit, instead of bearing losses after purchasing new materials, technologies and formulations. That is why companies use more versatile materials and equipment.

Ideas for construction start-ups are abundant.

Liquid stone is used for coating of buildings, concrete fences, pavement tiles, window sills etc. This material is much lighter than natural stone, flexible and simple in use; it is easy to attach to the wall coatings. One of the biggest advantages of the liquid stone is the price, which is a lot lower than that of natural finishing materials.

The technology of liquid stone production involves pulverization and later polishing special mixes onto the surface. Liquid stone is a mix which reacts with water or a certain material and forms a liquid flexible material. After setting, the material is similar in structure to natural stone.

Since this component is liquid, the blends can be produced using advanced blending equipment. This allows to perfect the formulation of the material, accelerate the production process, eliminate the costs of purchasing this material etc.

By purchasing liquid blending equipment, a business can meet several technological demands, including improvement of liquid stone production.

The equipment quickly pays for itself, which, along with precise and economical mixing of liquid stop components, increases the profits of the company.

Production of liquid stone at one’s own facilities allows to increase the spectrum of services offered.

Liquid blending equipment allows to calculate and implement new recipes of liquid stone production, products with many colors, hues and performance characteristics.

One of the more popular products rapidly gaining consumer recognition are deodorants and air fresheners.

The new trend compels the development of producing this novel product for good smelling.

Beside the ethical questions of the what is good and pleasure smell, there is a new issue of competition and developing a product to interest the end clients.

Not to mention that businesses must care for their profits. Therefore, the process of mixing liquids for electronic cigarettes must be considered from the point of investment and profits.

Deodorants and air fresheners mix production lines are based on special unique equipment. Recently, GlobeCore introduced USB type liquid blending systems into the market. This versatile system was originally developed for the fuel and oil industry, but can be used to mix any liquids, from multi-component fuels to soft drinks.

Semi-automated and compact, the USB units do not require any special adjustments or any additional personnel training. Using these systems allows advantages in the development of new electronic cigarette liquid mix and offers the producer opportunities to develop the business as a reputable manufacturer.

The general composition of deodorant perspirant liquid is as follows: aluminum compounds, cyclomethicone, antibacterial ingredients like Triclosan, humectant propylene glycol, triethanolamine, diethanolamine and flavors.

The USB blending units ensure precise portioning of ingredients, maintaining the recipe and composition of the product.

Since flavors are important to the client’s preferences and tastes, precise portioning and mixing ensures market advantages of the product.

The universal combinations like by many clients, such as cherry, lemon, coffee, vanilla, apple, mint and menthol, or various alcohol beverage flavors can be corrected by using the software of the USB device to make a new type of electronic cigarette liquid.

By combining recipes of deodorant liquids, a producer may achieve a new formulations which may become popular with clients.

Using the USB blenders to produce deodorant liquid improves production rate allows the company to proudly state that their product is made using high precision modern equipment.

The USB type liquid blending unit is a bright example of a new generation technology, such as often spoken about in the media. The main advantage of the unit, placing it among the well known and beneficial inventions, is its versatility and the ability to perform many functions, run many processes and a customized approach to saving, recalculating and creating new product recipes and formulations.

Among the blends which can be made with the USB type unit are not only blended fuels. The unit can be used for production of shampoo, soap, antifreeze, detergent liquids, construction mixes, beverages, paints and various liquid cosmetics.

Often the design of a new piece of equipment implements function which later become the key to production of specific products bringing profit to the operator. For instance, the liquid blending unit can be programmed to make liquid nitrogen.

Liquid nitrogen is rather safe and non-hazardous. Its boiling point is about -195°C. This clear liquid is in high demand in many industries: from deep freezing of various materials, fire extinguishing, cooling, cryogenic cutting to conservation of cells, organs and tissues.

The high demand for liquid nitrogen makes it production more and more profitable. Mobile liquid blending systems are quite instrumental in the process.

The use of liquid blending systems with highly precise portioning, powerful pumps, multistage filtration and control systems as well as a modern programming system is to support the development of the business.

Software for the liquid nitrogen production units is still the main advantage of such equipment due to the capability to perform many functions, required to maintain the process cycle: keeping all settings, controlling all process paramters (temperature, pressure, gas inlet and outlet flow rate), displaying of all process parameters on screen, allowing to develop new formulations based on all the information saved in the memory of the unit etc.

The modern world offers many ways to develop business and turns what yesterday was props for science fiction movies into indispensable parts pf today’s industry.

It is no secret that food can be smoked using not only wood smoke. Some producers of smoked products still use this method, but most have turned to a different process.

Not so long ago, a new product came into the market: liquid smoke. The new product sparked heated debate. Producers claim the new product is safe and convenient, while doctors are raising alarm over possible harmful effects.

Meat, fish or sausages can be smoked using liquid smoke, simply by boiling them in water with a certain amount of liquid smoke added.

A similar smoking liquid first emerged in the beginning of the 19th century. After the patent was published in the 20th century, the liquid smoke product is used successfully with careful adherence to standards and maximum concentrations.

Smoking products with liquid smoke requires some expertise and certain equipment.

Production of liquid smoke does require certification, Although the debate regarding possible harmful effects is still raging, there are reasons to continuoue production of this substance.

The production process ensures there are no harmful carcinogenic substances in the product. While real smoke contains tar, liquid smoke is purified, and the end product contains no such materials. Besides, liquid smoke is mixed with water or a fat emulsion, while ash and tar do not mix with water and do not become part of the final composition of liquid smoke, leaving only the flavor.

Among the advantages of liquid smoke production one should consider the novelty of the product, a wide market share, both individual consumers and large producers, relatively low costs of starting the business and simple automation of the process.

Another pro factor may be the availability of special multifunctional equipment for mixing liquids, which allows to produce large amounts of the product fast. Low energy consumption of such equipment and its high production rate also ensure rapid return of investment.

Although until new research results are published (the research has been ongoing for years) and doctors recommend reducing consumption of products smoked using liquid smoke, the actual smoked products are, indeed, more tasty. While deciding what to produce, it should be noted that doctors are often more concerned about healthy diets rather than actual harm from a product. The ultimate decision is with the client.

Scientifically speaking, liquid glass is a water-alkali solution of sodium and potassium silicates. The formula, however, does not allow the uninitiated in chemistry or physics to readily understand where the produce can be used in daily life.

The issues of product differences and the choice of the best product are more interesting to the buyer (a businessman, a manufacturer etc) than to laboratory staff.

In their search the former often deal not only with understanding of the terminology (a manager or a director of a production company must know about his production processes), but to a larger degree with alternative use of materials, fuel and equipment, as well as diversification of supplies and the possibility to reduce costs.

Liquid glass is a widely accepted unique material which can be used in many areas due to its versatility. It is most widely used in construction, but not only. Liquid glass can be used for gluing and binding of various construction materials; improving water-resistance of foundations, since it suffers no ill effects from freezing; for production of fire and acid proof silicate products; for gluing of glass and chinaware, gluing and saturation of paper, cardboard; saturation of wood or fabric to make them denser and fire-proof; production of silicate paints; production of welding electrodes; floatation refining of ore; soap, fat, textile, paper production, engineering, metal casting; it can even be used to protect damaged trees.

On customer order, liquid glass producers can make the product with any number of properties and performance characteristics. For instance, the most known and used in the modern construction material market is the sodium liquid glass.

However, more and more manufacturers come to the idea of higher efficiency of keeping the production cycle entirely internal. This allows not only to save on certain costs but also to eliminate the dependence on suppliers and intermediaries and to solve the issue of quality.

A proven liquid component mixing technology, which conquered the market several years ago, with the qualification and experience of the specialists, allows for high quality production of liquid glass.

The buyers of equipment for liquid glass production to make it locally instead of purchasing externally, are both large companies and facilities and smaller producers of construction materials etc.

The production of liquid glass on a large scale is performed by solution of silicate blocks in autoclaves, stationary or rotary. A modern facility which uses relatively small amounts of liquid glass, can use liquid mixing units to make it. Solution of silica containing components in alkali allows to mix water and additives with such solution using this mixing equipment. Precise portioning and high production rate facilitate high quality production of liquid glass in the required proportion.

Using blending units allows to make liquid glass without the use of autoclaves, simplifying the process and reducing labor and energy costs.

Pure liquid glass is rarely used. So the blending units allow to make other component or finished product for construction material stores: base coats, waterproofing materials, glue, fireproofing solutions. The production of liquid glass is very rarely set up at specialized facilities which then become centralized suppliers of the product to consumers. Most of liquid glass is produced by facilities which use this component in their own processes.
