The new oil-free Comp-Air Ultima compressor offers up to 12 % improved energy efficiency compared to a conventional two-stage machine, as well as a 37 % smaller footprint, says the manufacturer Comp Air (a Gardner Denver brand).

Modular construction is well suited to building small-scale chemical plants, and it can play a significant role in making small, regional plants cost-competitive with megascale plants, in certain strategic locations, according to a presentation by Tom Schafer, vice president of Koch Modular Process Systems LLC (KMPS) at Achema.

KSB Pumps, a leading manufacturer of pumps and valves in the transport and treatment of water and wastewater segment, introduced extension of its KRT series pumps by adding new hydraulics.

Fine chemicals producer Cabb starts up the production of monochloroacetic acid (MCA) in Jining, China, the world’s largest market for this substance.

Maximum ease of cleaning, maintenance, and internal inspection are the qualities that make the horizontal paddle vacuum dryer from Italvacuum a good drying solution for multi-product applications. To create an even better system, the company asked its most demanding customers about their urgent production requirements – and took the resulting lessons to heart.

Evonik Industries has developed a new hollow-fiber membrane for the separation of nitrogen from air.

Most industrial processes consume lots of water – a scarce resource. They also generate waste that needs to be treated in order to meet tough requirements, keep the license to operate and perhaps even extend capacity.

One of the world’s biggest seawater desalination plant operates at maximum efficiency with minimal engineering costs — Plant Pax process control system from Rockwell Automation helps Sorek Desalination Project set new performance benchmark in terms of output and costs.

Producing pharmaceuticals requires such a multitude and complexity of aspects to be considered that the actual drying process stage is often overlooked. This is despite the fact that high quality and reproducible drying can improve product quality while at the same time optimising the entire production process. This is what a major pharmaceutical company experienced when they implemented a condensation drying system.
