To simplify the process of choosing the correct gas flow meter for a particular application, Solartron ISA has rebranded its Dualstream family of wet gas flow meters.

According to a new study, reusing solvents instead of incinerating them would be a more practical approach for pharmaceutical manufacturers. Researchers have found that recycling reduces the amount of carbon emissions and consumes less energy than what would be required to make those chemicals from scratch. Maximum solvent recovery, being the need of the hour to promote solvent reuse, spiral heat exchangers can play a crucial role in achieving this goal.

Half of the global industrial energy consumption is wasted due to the inefficient and complicated recovery of low-grade energy.

Sibur’s Blagoveshchensk site has completed reconstruction of the terephthalic acid production facility, the only one currently in Russia

Syngas specialist GTL.F1, a joint venture of Statoil (Norway), PetroSA (South Africa) and Lurgi (Germany) have concluded technology developement for Fischer-Tropsch process technology and recently opened the licensing phase.

Mannheim-based Rhein Chemie, a wholly owned subsidiary of specialty chemicals company Lanxess and partner of the rubber, lubricant and plastics industry, is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year.

Aker Solutions won contracts for concept studies for carbon capture at Yara's ammonia plant on Herøya and Norcem's cement production facility in Brevik, Norway.

There are basically two methods of producing nano-scale particles: the “Bottom-Up” technique involves synthesizing the particles from atoms and molecules. With the “Top-Down” method the particles are reduced to nanometer size by grinding. Suitable tools for this method are planetary ball mills, such as Retsch’s new PM-series grinders, which provide the necessary energy input.

Metso announced that it will supply 400 Neles emergency shutdown (ESD) valves for an ethylene cracker as part of the new Liwa Plastics Industrial Complex (LPIC) Project in Sohar, Oman.

In water fluoridation plants different chemicals are used, including the highly toxic silicofluorid. Bulk material handling systems for this application, including bulk bag dischargers, dust containment systems, and flexible screw conveyors, have to meet high dust control requirements.
