Not only the production of green hydrogen, but also its safe and compact storage is a major challenge for the energy transition. Metal hydrides could be a good solution — they store large quantities of hydrogen in a small space, but release greenhouse gases during production. This is now set to change.

Why do you only need to remember one radar level sensor from now on? Whether you’re dealing with liquid or bulk material, whether at 6 GHz, 26 GHz or 80 GHz — in future, one radar sensor will cover all applications. It couldn’t be simpler, promise the radar experts at Vega, who have one thing in mind above all: better processes for the user.

A 20 million dollar investment has been announced by Akzo Nobel to increase and improve production at two of its sites in France. Around 30 new jobs will be created.

Losan Pharma adds a new granulation line for pellet manufacturing to an existing production: The process of upgrading existing inventory means an intervention into existing production facilities, so it requires surgical precision. The combination of existing machinery with new equipment, which can only be allowed to take up an extremely limited amount of space, is a real challenge for everyone involved in the project. The practice report describes the concept design and installation of a mixer/granulator for pellet production.
