St Colman's Cathedral, Cobh, Co Cork, is a neogothic structure which is modelled on three French cathedrals: Chartres, Amiens and Reims, which were all built in the 12th century, writes Donal Collins

Economic, environmental and operational feasibility study: Inline conditioning of buffers in chromatography applications

Introduction Continuous processing technologies are increasingly being employed in the biopharmaceutical sector as an alternative to traditional stainless steel-type technologies. While there are numerous advantages to continuous buffer manufacturing setups, they have yet to be quantified. The purpose of this analysis was to investigate the economic, operational and environmental consequences of full deployment of continuous buffer manufacturing in a biopharmaceutical process using ...

'Like children, there are no bad pumps - just pumps in the wrong environment'

As a former mechanical engineering student of the then RTC, now Cork Institute of Technology (CIT), I always had an interest in pumps and process engineering. I recently gave a talk on pump fundamentals in University College Dublin for an event hosted by Engineers Ireland. At the event, I spoke about pump sizing and 'like children, there are no bad pumps - just pumps in the wrong environment'. One example would be where pumps were sized based on 'future expansion' and therefore oversized ...

The Internet of Things for large-scale infrastructure management: being at home in a €1.5 trillion market

Introduction “Heimdall, in Norse mythology, the watchman of the gods. Heimdall dwelt at the entry to Asgard, where he guarded Bifrost, the rainbow bridge. He required less sleep than a bird, could see 100 leagues, and could hear grass growing in the meadows and wool growing on sheep.” Encyclopaedia Brittanica In early 2017, I was preparing a research proposal for a project on using wireless sensing to monitor damage from coastal erosion and climate change on remote archaeological ...
