Process engineering systems feature many sensors and actuators that allow ongoing processes to be measured and controlled directly from the control room. During commissioning, maintenance, or system errors, the signals of these field devices must be quickly, easily, and locally accessible or entirely isolated from the control loop. New compact-design knife-disconnect terminals allow wiring in the tightest of spaces.

Essential oils contain the power of nature. To use this power companies aspire to modern process technology. Because the Microencapsulation in closed cycle mode ensure high-quality products as well as efficient production process.

From bio-refineries to special chemical plants and food and pharmaceutical production – mixing technology and mixers are a key part of every production process. A visit at this year's Achema revealed three important trends in mixing technology.

Sasol has completed its $ 1.1 billion FT Wax Expansion Project (FTWEP). Phase 2 began beneficial operation in March 2017, while phase 1 was commissioned in 2015.

Zinc Sulfate compounds with previously unachieved purity expects Old Bridge Chemicals from its new production facility in New Jersey. The application of new, state of the art technology enabled the construction of the company's most modern facility, officials say.
