Many processes require ammonia — but handling this volatile substance, which is aggressive in combination with water, is not easy. In particular, the need to take regular samples poses challenges for operators. Optimized processes enable faster sampling of ammonia and thus contribute to higher accuracy, lower costs and greater employee safety.

Under an agreement signed with Heidelberg Materials, Linde will be responsible for developing and operating a large-scale carbon capture and liquefaction facility in Germany. With this project, both the parties aim to reduce carbon emissions at Heidelberg’s Lengfurt plant.

Leybold has introduced Clawvac CP B, a new model to its existing Clawvac dry claw vacuum pump series. The vacuum pump can be used across the food processing, materials handling and environmental industries.

Metso has secured an order from Hindalco Industries for delivering a large integrated electronic waste recycling process near Birla’s copper unit in Pakhajan, Gujarat, India. The greenfield facility is claimed to be the first of its kind in India and is expected to produce 50 kt of low-carbon copper annually.

With an aim to carry out sustainable operations, many industries are now increasingly making use of recycled or treated water which are sourced from wastewater treatment plants instead of using limited fresh water resources. New areas of interest such as green hydrogen production is also following the same route. Smart technologies are also being explored to optimize water usage, minimize wastage and even tap innovative ways to obtain water for industrial operations.

Eaton is presenting diverse new filtration solutions for the industrial processing, life sciences, and hydraulic filtration segments at the leading international trade show Achema which is currently being held in Frankfurt, Germany.

Cost plays a vital role while developing industrial plants but by opting for a modular plant, capex costs, material costs and even labor costs can be slashed. Also, modular, skid-mounted units are developed in-doors under controlled environments and at speed which helps to save valuable time for industry players.

Under the terms of the agreement, Inox Air Products will supply green hydrogen to Asahi India Glass’ greenfield float glass facility in Rajasthan, India. With a capacity to generate up to 190 tons of green hydrogen per annum through the electrolysis process, the project is expected to be India’s first ever green hydrogen plant for the float glass industry.

Holcim recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for its Go4zero plant which is engineered to produce 2 million tons of net-zero cement per annum by 2029 in Obourg, Belgium. The planned investment for the project is more than 500 million euros.

Arkema has entered into an agreement to acquire a 78 % stake in Proionic, a well-known start-up which produces and develops ionic liquids. These are key components used for developing the next generation of lithium-ion batteries.
