Plate spacing weight

The collection efficiency for 300, 400 and 500 mm plate spacings, evaluated from the weights of the dust collected in the hoppers, is reported in Table V. 

Where space and weight are considerations (such as on an offshore facility) plate separators may be used to dehydrate crude to evacuation specification. Packs of plates are used to accelerate extraction of the water phase by intercepting water droplets with... 

Fine particulate slurries in concentrations up to 70 percent by weight are possible with standard channel spacings. Wide-gap units are used with larger particle sizes. Typical particle size should not exceed 75 percent of the single plate (not total channel) gap. 

Mix all the components well. Add 8 fiL of pure TEMED. Mix well and immediately pour between glass plates. Fill the space to the top of the plates. Immediately insert the comb to make sample wells in the gel. Allow the gel to polymerize (about 30 min). Remove the comb and carefully rinse the sample wells with a 1 10 dilution of Tris-glycine SDS buffer. Prepare each protein sample including the molecular weight standards as follows ...
