John Crane has introduced a next generation mechanical seal called Type 8628VL. The mechanical seal has been engineered to maintain sealing integrity in multiphase ethane and ethylene pipelines within the oil and gas industry.

With an aim to reduce gas consumption and enhance upstream reactor yields, Biotech Fluidics has introduced a range of micro spargers. The firm also offers a wide variety of porous metal sparger tips for laboratory and pilot scale bioreactors and fermenters.

Veolia has launched a multi-energy cogeneration plant in Poznań, Poland. The two-phase project is expected to eliminate over 300,000 tons of coal use annually, leading to zero coal consumption.

Most industrial facilities still treat cooling and heating as siloed, disconnected systems. This outdated mindset results in wasted energy, high emissions, and unnecessary costs. By shifting to a unified thermal management approach, in which heat and cold are part of the same thermal energy ecosystem, industries can unlock major gains in efficiency, sustainability and performance.

Repsol has begun industrial-scale production of 100 % renewable gasoline at its Tarragona complex in Spain. With the help of renewable gasoline, net CO2 emissions can be slashed by more than 70 % as compared to conventional gasoline.

Ima Active’s wedge wire screen drum is designed to integrate seamlessly with standard Perfima equipment, resulting in the innovative Perfima Edge. This enhancement brings the capability of side vented pan coating to smaller particles, such as pellets or minitablets. The drum's wedge wires feature a rounded, smooth design, ensuring minimal impact on the product and enhancing flowability. The drum’s unique structure also supports high process air volumes, enabling increased spray rates and efficient, short processing times comparable to traditional perforated drum coaters and provides an interesting alternative to fluid bed thanks to its reduced footprint by at least 30 %.
