Equilibar Information

Equilibar offers revolutionary fluid control for the most challenging applications in research, biotech, and industry. Our engineers have expertise in multi-phase flow, supercritical states, automation, biopharma standards, continuous flow, and severe service. Equilibar® patented devices provide back pressure control, vacuum control, and flow control. They are available in a range of materials, including single use options. EQUILIBAR BACK PRESSURE REGULATORS have proven their value for more than 15 years, with solid performance in fuel cell research, oil and gas, supercritical, pharmaceutical engineering and other cutting edge industries. EQUILIBAR'S VACUUM CONTROL VALVES have been used for NASA's Artemis Mission and by the US Navy’s Altitude Laboratory at the Naval Air Warfare Center, where they played a key role in an application that required stable pressure across flow rate changes of up to 1,000 to 1. THE EQUILIBAR FLOW CONTROL VALVE offers a wide Cv range, chemical compatibility and multiphase fluid handling. This device can provide a solution for unique scenarios such as complex oil well injection applications that are beyond the capabilities of traditional valves. For upstream and downstream biopharmaceutical applications with multiple processing needs, our Single Use Technology (SUT) Division offers a suite of products that meet Pharma 4.0® guidelines. Equilibar's core technology features a dome-loaded multiple orifice design that is radically different from conventional valves and regulators. Its synergistic design elements result in high sensitivity, 1000:1 flow rate turn-down ratio, easy automation for computer control, extreme precision and virtually instantaneous reaction time. Since May of 2021, Equilibar has been part of the Richards Industrials Family. Equilibar’s Quality System is ISO 9001:2015 Certified. We are proud to work and manufacture in the United States and honored to partner with innovators around the world.
