Sometimes, what it takes to get the job done is highly specialised equipment. Nevertheless, quite often universal all-rounder units with their high flexibility have a lead: By combining process steps like sterilizing, crystallizing, calcining, coating or reacting substances, modern paddle dryers can be used in a variety of applications.

LSB plans nitric acid and nitric acid concentrator plants in El Dorado, Arkansas, USA. The plant operator has already selected Leidos to construction management services for around US $ 82.7 million.

Valuable chemicals in waste aqueous streams often go down the drain as treatment of effluent has always been considered a cost. However, with the advent of new technologies today, it is possible to cost-effectively recover chemicals from effluents in a pure form that can be recycled to reap huge gains.

The explosion at Wacker's plant in Charleston on September 7 was caused by a technical defect prompting a leak of hydrogen which subsequently caught fire, thereby severely damaging a small, but important facility of the production plant.

How to find the best cleaning nozzle for the job? One can always try it out — or save the hassle by using state-of-the-art simulation tools. It’s the optimal arrangement of the nozzles inside the tank that lays the foundations for reliable cleaning results. A new simulation software helps customers to find the most suitable nozzle system for the cleaning task at hand. Furthermore, it identifies potential weak points during the development phase and explores potentials for optimizing existing systems, thus avoiding planning errors, reducing downtimes, and ensuring more efficiency and process reliability.

Coal and lignite are the principal fuels used in many power plants world wide. Although their characteristics appear to be almost same, some differences do exist which set them apart totally. Variations in boiler design also present many challenges and system design has to take care of these issues.

Metaline Series 700 self-processable elastic liquid coating system for solving wear and repair problems on site combines the quality features of wear-resistant elastomeric coatings with a simple and cost-effective cartridge spray processing for self-application. The system has also proved its efficiency for use with conveyor belts.

Containment of a solid drugs production is incomplete where the production environment is neglected. Closed process equipment and the production environment need to be considered as an integral solution. There should however be a reasonable balance between protective effects and plant productivity.

The efficiency champion takes the price! Dry compressing screw vacuum pumps with a particularly high degree of efficiency in the chemical production are challenging liquid ring pumps. At first sight, it seems clear which principle leads the way. However, this may be delusional.

In API manufacturing, contrary to the traditional use of multiple utilities, single fluid heat transfer systems are advantageous. These systems can be designed even for specific applications, and engineered and built at site.
