The new Rotoform 4G for dust–free pastillation of liquid substances by Sandvik Process Systemscomes equipped with a pneumatic function that eliminates the need for manual adjustments. This feature allows for a faster and aesier handling, the manufacturer states.

As the result of a disruption in the operation of a raw material supplier at the site, the chemical company Oxea had to restrict the supply of certain products from its production plant in Oberhausen, Germany.

Developed by Evonik, the new catalyst is being tested in the ‘Advanced Closed Loop System’, a life support system. The catalyst located in the Sabatier reactor helps to cut down the heavy costs of transporting water into space.

What to do in case of fire? Big company fire departments are often well prepared for chemical accidents, with specialised equipment and trained professionals. But what can smaller fiorms or local firefighters do? Learn, how the International Chemical Environment (ICE) offers professional support, from telephonic consulting to the dispatch of specialised task forces...

Many of the innovative pump models introduced by SPX Flow are specifically designed to address challenges faced by the chemical, petrochemical, power and oil industries. The specialised pumps offer numerous benefits such as increased efficiency, enhanced reliability, reduced installation footprint, reduced weight, protection against leakages and high metering accuracy.

A paradigm change in solids production is underway in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The trend to increased specialization and higher-potency active ingredients creates the need for hermetically sealed process flows. To an increasing extent, the production process will have to be designed as a containment system.

The deal has been carried out through both the companies’ joint venture firm – Helios. Under the agreement, Sonatrach will recover helium from two existing LNG facilities and supply it to Helios’ existing liquid helium plant. Two new air separation plants will also be constructed via this deal.

The Russian iron ore and HBI producer and supplier, Metalloinvest, and the German technology company Linde have signed an agreement for a long-term supply of oxygen, nitrogen, and argon to Ural Steel (part of Metalloinvest).

The Microsphere Refiner technology has been developed to address the growing demand for Microsphere formulation production – It also helps users to greatly reduce cost by using one piece of equipment instead of several process systems and sterile containment isolator.

In order to balance out spikes in power grids resulting from non-uniform regenerative energy conversion from wind or sun, surplus power can be used for the decentralized production of chemicals. German research center Fraunhofer IGB has developed an electrolytic cell in which hydrogen peroxide can be produced on site with electric energy from just water and air – along with oxidative wastewater treatment.
