A number of common enzyme reactor configurations exist. These simple types may be further complicated by the addition of recycle loops so as to facilitate complete conversion of substrate when high volumetric through-puts must be maintained.... As well as effects related to pH and salt concentration, specific protein-protein interaction may affect the retention of a protein. Elongation factor Tu has a throughput of 45% with a 100, 000 molecular weight cut-off membrane, but addition of factor Ts, which is known to form a complex with Tu reduced throughput to 8%. 3, record 1, English, - throughput

L'enzyme fixée sur un support particulaire est disposée dans une colonne percolée par la solution à traiter. L'alimentation continue en substrat peut se faire par flux ascendant ou descendant et peut comporter un dispositif de recyclage. Plusieurs colonnes peuvent fonctionner en série avec des enzymes différentes. (...) Ce type de réacteur est généralement caractérisé par une perte de charge assez importante, fonction du débit d'alimentation, de la viscosité de la solution à traiter, de la taille et de la forme des particules du support, de la longueur et de la géométrie de la colonne. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9bit%20d%27alimentation

Lister Rig Mats provide a solid base for all your drilling needs. Our Rig Mats are also utilized as :· loading pallets and ramps; · barge liners for heavy weight load distribution; · floors for field machine shops and warehouses;. pipeline and pedestrian bridges; · helicopter pads; · tank and camp foundations. The average life of a Rig Mat is 10 years, but many have continued to be active for 15-20 years.... Our rig mats consist of two continuous wood sections with laminations glued and nailed together. The glue between the wooden planks reduces weight gain caused by liquid retention. Strength is mainly provided by the steel beams, and the wood sections assisted by lateral flat bars transfer part of the load from one beam to another. 1, record 3, English, - rig%20mat

The exchange capacity of a resin is the total number of equivalents of replaceable hydrogen per unit volume per unit weight of resin, and is determined by the number and strength of fixed ionic groups on the resin. The ion exchange capacity affects solute retention, and exchangers of high capacity are most often used for separating complex mixtures, where increased retention improves resolution. 2, record 5, English, - exchange%20capacity

Filter Fabric Soil Retention Test.... a laboratory test to evaluate the ability of filter fabrics to act as silt curtains or fences. The test apparatus consists of two plastic tanks... with one end of each tank being open and capable of holding the fabric to be tested in a fixed and vertical position. One tank is filled with water and given a dry weight of soil from the site of the proposed construction. After a prescribed mixing procedure the soil-water suspension is allowed to pass through the fabric separating the two tanks. Hydrometer analyses are used to evaluate the weight of soil in each tank and thereby the percent of soil passing the fabric. Head differentials allow for calculation of the velocities involved for repeated trials. 1, record 6, English, - hydrometer%20analysis
