Time is running out! We have to get our greenhouse emissions under control and eliminate it completely before it’s too late. The effects of climate change are already beginning to appear and, in this background, the most carbon-intensive sectors have undertaken sustainable business strategies to achieve their net zero goals but is it going to be enough? PROCESS Worldwide lists down four progressive solutions that will help industries to decarbonize their operations.

Keeping products in the economic cycle for as long as possible, closing material cycles, avoiding waste (including CO2) — awareness is now wide spread that the Circular Economy is more than “just” recycling. However, the extent of the transformation is only gradually becoming apparent. At Dechema’a Tutzing Symposium, the consensus was: if you really want to implement the Circular Economy, you have think big.

Green ammonia is gradually becoming popular within the industry due to its outstanding benefits such as the production of zero-carbon fertilizers and fuel. It is also an excellent energy storage medium and carrier of hydrogen which makes it more attractive to industry players. Many big-ticket projects with a dedicated focus on producing green ammonia have been announced worldwide in recent years and with time it’s only going to increase as more and more industrial firms join the net-zero objective.

The detailed study shows how to set up external lubrication equipment by analyzing the process parameters’ importance and impact on production using a double-side rotary tablet press thus, minimizing time losses.

Enablers of production – Same old in the “pump halls”? Not this time! If the production of tomorrow wants to truly unleash its efficiency potentials, pump experts are challenged. In fact, the largest exhibitor group at Achema is more innovative and digital than ever before.

Although modern containment systems are state-of-the-art technology in the production of solid pharmaceutical formulations, the interfaces to the surroundings and the cleaning processes still represent critical aspects. These need to be managed with a great deal of know-how.

Krones has developed its first in-house solution – the Krones Ozonomic ozoniser for ozonising water. The solution breaks down oxygen and forms ozone molecules which are added to the drinking water before filling it. With this, the company has expanded its portfolio of water-packaging equipment.

Pumping oleum is challenging enough — add a submersion depth of 11 meters, and things get really interesting. But a magnetically coupled sealless pump is up to the challenge, providing safe and reliable handling of hazardous liquids.

The cost of natural gas for industrial heating processes, electric power and HVAC is rising while emissions controls also grow more stringent. Engineers must adapt and learn how to better control the calorific value of their gas feeds to optimize industrial heating processes. Controlling your burn reduces consumption, costs and emissions.

How can high-shear granulation be reliably and securely scaled up from the lab to production? In addition to thorough knowledge of the process, it is helpful to have modular systems that enable the process parameters to be set very accurately.
