NEWS:

NIULAB EQUIPMENT COMPANY PVT. LTD. is proud to announce its association with SETARAM

INSTRUMENTATION, France a leading manufacturer of advanced Thermal Analysis equipments and Calorimeters. NIULAB has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with SETARAM INSTRUMENTATION to market their products in India.


Setaram Instrumentation provides global solutions to the field of application be it Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical, Oil, Biology, Nuclear power, Metallurgy, Ceramics, Polymers etc.


SETARAM INSTRUMENTATION not only provides standard instruments, (DTA, DSC, TGA, TMA, etc.), Advanced thermo-kinetics software AKTS and Thermal Conductivity Mathis Instruments but has designed specific technologies to open the field of application to a widest range of customer requirement. SETARAM INSTRUMENTATION has great exposure in Petrochemical, Ceramics, Metallurgy, Power Generation, Pharmaceuticals, and polymers.


Pharma Industry

Research and development is of vital importance in the Pharmaceutical Industry. The development of new drugs demands considerable financial and manpower investment that can span several years. To obtain a perfectly characterised drug the researchers use different techniques among which Thermal Analysis holds an important place

Process Safety

The control of industrial manufacturing or transformation process is vital importance. Protection of personnel and the environment, as well as fundamental economic aspects, mean that the safety of such processes is a crucial issue at all levels for companies specialised in chemicals or using chemical reaction of industrial scale

Gas hydrates,

Gas hydrates are solid structures formed from water and gas under low temperature and high pressure conditions. Gas hydrates are crystalline solids consisting of gas molecules each surrounded by a cage of water molecules. Gas hydrate formation is based on a gas solid phase equilibrium, enabling the user to determine the pressure and temperature of hydrate formation in a liquid mixture for a given mixture. The usual way to determine the thermodynamic conditions of the formation of hydrates is to use a PVT cell with visual observation and simultaneously temperature and pressure measurements This technique require heavy instrumentation and cannot be used if solid particles are found in the formulation. Considering the gas hydrates are only stable at high pressure and low temperature and that calorimeter is most appropriate technique for the prediction and characterisation of gas hydrates Setaram developed a micro calorimeter with sub ambient temperature and high pressure capabilities.
